Segment
Small SUV
Alfa's smallest model — a Stellantis e-CMP-platform crossover, sister to the Peugeot e-2008, Jeep Avenger and DS 3. Originally launched as 'Milano' until the Italian government objected to a Polish-built car carrying an Italian city name; renamed Junior days before launch. UK lineup: 1.2 turbo mild-hybrid ICE (136 bhp, FWD), Elettrica EV (156 bhp, FWD, 54 kWh) and the Veloce Elettrica (280 bhp, mechanical LSD, FWD only). The Q4 AWD ICE arrives later. Built on a small-car platform but priced like a junior premium — Veloce trim is the enthusiast pick, the EV is the volume one. Looks proper Alfa from any angle; underneath, it's e-CMP with an Alfa badge.
