Alfa Romeo Junior previewed as part of imminent range reshuffling
An official launch date for both the Junior and revised Tonale wasn't announced. The Alfa Romeo Junior will become available locally before year-end. Picture: Charl Bosch Showcased at an Alfa Romeo enthusiasts event in March, Stellantis South Africa used its Media Connect event in Johannesburg on Wednesday, 9 July, to not only formally unveil the all-new Alfa Romeo Junior, but also a pending restructured product range. Range overhaul The Junior will commence Alfa Romeo's line-up currently fronted by Tonale. ALSO READ: Junior on its way as teasers start for Alfa Romeo's smallest SUV While the Giulia and Stelvio and will retain their respective Veloce and Quadrifoglio variants until the arrival of the next generations in 2026 and 2027, the Junior's introduction will come with an overlapping of the Tonale as a result of the latter undergoing a powertrain revision. Goodbye mild-hybrid Tonale According to Alfa Romeo, Jeep and Leapmotor divisional boss, Janus Janse van Rensburg, the update will involve the current mild-hybrid Tonale being replaced by the all-wheel drive Q4 variant once stock runs out. The result is that the much lamented electrified 1.5 litre turbo-petrol engine will make way for the Brazilian-made 1.3 litre turbocharged Firefly unit combined with an 15.5kWh battery pack powering a single 70kW electric motor. Facelift Alfa Romeo will eschew the extensively panned mild-hybrid powertrain. Picture: Alfa Romeo A configuration that will result in the Tonale becoming a plug-in hybrid, the combination develops 206 kW, allowing for a claimed all-electric range of up to 80 km, and 0-100 km/h in 6.2 seconds versus the mild-hybrid's 8.8 seconds. Shown in facelift guise last year, the Tonale Q4 also sees the departure of the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox in favour of a hybrid specific six-speed torque converter automatic. Still listed in mild-hybrid form priced at R811 899 for the entry-level Ti and at R895 129 for the top-spec Veloce, exact details regarding the Q4's availability wasn't revealed, though an official announcement is anticipated before year-end. Junior arriving soon In revealing the Junior, whose name had to be changed from Milano less than 24 hours after its global unveiling due to backlash from the Italian government, Stellantis also confirmed that the local line-up will comprise the same mild-hybrid and electric powerunits as in Europe. For the former, this involves the familiar 1.2 litre three-cylinder PureTech turbocharged petrol engine being combined with a 48 volt electrical system, plus a 21kW electric motor housed within the six-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Junior will go on-sale as either a mild-hybrid or full EV. Picture: Charl Bosch For South Africa, though, combined power outputs will be increased from 100kW to 115kW, but without the Q4 system as drive will go to the front wheels only. Shown in Veloce spec at the event, the all-electric Junior will be a first for Alfa Romeo in South Africa. Flagship Veloce will make exclusive use of an electric powerplant. Picture: Charl Bosch As on the Old Continent, the electric Junior remains front-wheel-drive, but in Veloce spec, with outputs of 207kW/345Nm from the 54kWh battery pack. Accordingly, the Junior Veloce will get from 0-100km/h in six seconds and require a 30 minute wait from 20-80% using a DC fast charger up to 100 kW. The claimed range is 346km. Alfa Romeo specific changes have taken place inside where the overall design is otherwise similar to the Opel Mokka. Picture: Charl Bosch Riding on the same electrified e-CMP platform as the Opel Mokka Electric, Fiat 600e, Abarth 600e and Jeep Avenger, the Junior measures 4 170mm long, 1 500mm tall and 1 780mm wide with its wheelbase stretching 2 550mm. While local specification is still to be determined, the Junior was spotted with Alfa Romeo's new 10.25-inch infotainment system incorporating Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and satellite navigation, the 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and, being the Veloce, Sabelt sport seats trimmed in Alcantara. Stay tuned Besides specification, no details regarding pricing of the Junior is known, however, expect a possible announcement, as with the Tonale, to be made before year-end.

2025 Alfa Romeo Junior price and specs: New EV, mild-hybrid small SUV joins range
Alfa Romeo is launching its first electric vehicle (EV) in Australia, but the compact Junior crossover SUV will also be offered here with a mild-hybrid petrol powertrain. The 2025 Alfa Romeo Junior Ibrida and Elettrica are being released in Australia in July, priced at $45,900 and $57,900 before on-road costs respectively. That makes the Junior the cheapest Alfa Romeo offered locally since the Giulietta hatch was discontinued. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The Ibrida is $5000 cheaper than the larger (but also mild-hybrid) Tonale small SUV. Built in Tychy, Poland – something that necessitated a name change from Milano after an uproar from the Italian government – the Junior shares its underpinnings with the Jeep Avenger. The Avenger is thus far offered here only with electric power, and is currently being offered for just $40,000 drive-away in base Longitude guise. Pricing Drivetrains and Efficiency The Alfa Romeo Junior features similar output and performance figures across its two very different powertrains. Both Juniors feature MacPherson strut front suspension, with a solid beam axle at the rear. Alfa Romeo claims the Elettrica takes 27 minutes to charge from 20 to 80 per cent using a 100kW DC charger. The Ibrida features a 21kW electric motor built into its gearbox, and Alfa Romeo says this mild-hybrid technology allows it to run purely on electric power for certain low-speed manoeuvres like parking. Dimensions Servicing and Warranty The Alfa Romeo Junior is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty with roadside assistance for the same period. The Elettrica's high-voltage battery is also backed for eight years or 160,000km. Alfa Romeo has yet to announce service pricing. Safety The Alfa Romeo Junior is yet to be tested by ANCAP or Euro NCAP. Standard safety equipment includes: Adaptive cruise control Autonomous emergency braking with vulnerable road user detection Blind-spot monitoring Lane-centring Lane-keep assist Traffic Jam Assist Traffic sign recognition 6 airbags (front, front-side and curtain) Front, side and rear parking sensors Surround-view camera Standard Equipment The Junior Ibrida and Elettrica have essentially the same level of standard equipment. This includes: Matrix LED headlights 18-inch alloy wheels in 215/55 R18 tyres Tyre repair kit Rain-sensing wipers Privacy glass Electric park brake with auto hold Hands-free power tailgate Proximity entry with push-button start Paddle shifters (Ibrida) 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system DAB+ digital radio Satellite navigation Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Wireless phone charger 6-speaker sound system Leatherette/cloth upholstery Heated front seats Massaging driver's seat 6-way power driver's seat Leather-wrapped steering wheel Tilt and telescopic steering column adjustment Single-zone climate control 8-colour ambient lighting Aluminium pedals A sunroof is available for $1990.

Alfa Romeo Secures Three Design Awards at Germany's AUTO BILD 'Best Brands' Competition
The enthusiasm of German fans for Alfa Romeo design is unwavering. As in previous years the historic Italian brand has also been honored in the 2025 'Best brands in all categories' contest, with several awards. AUTO BILD and BILD readers have selected Alfa Romeo as #1 in the 'midsize segment' and 'midsize SUVs', and have also named the brand the overall winner in the 'Design' category. In the midsize segment, Alfa Romeo is represented by the Giulia sports sedan, while the Stelvio featured in the midsize SUVs. The brand also offers the Alfa Romeo Junior and Alfa Romeo Tonale SUV models in Germany, both of which are also available with electrified powertrains. Christine Schulze Tergeist, Managing Director, Stellantis Premium Brands Germany, stated: 'Our models perfectly reflect the aesthetic taste of discerning German enthusiasts. This is demonstrated by the further hat-trick in the design categories of the 'Best brands in all categories' contest held by AUTO BILD. It is particularly significant that the awards cover two different vehicle categories, as well as the overall rankings. This demonstrates the wide range in which Alfa Romeo design manages to express itself perfectly. We are very proud of these awards, which represent great praise for the work of the designers at the Alfa Romeo Centro Stile.' In the 'Best brands in all categories' contest, now in its 14th year, AUTO BILD and BILD invited their readers to rate 40 renowned brands based on their purchasing potential. Participants also responded to several questions on brand image, including aspects such as powertrains, assistance systems and sportiness. Overall, about 40,000 readers of the two magazines took part. تم نسخ الرابط
