Video Summary
The Alfa Romeo Junior, formerly Milano, is about the size of an SUV but shorter than a Corsa or Polo. It shares parts with the Jeep Avenger and Fiat 600e.Its front design features a scudetto shield. Some front air vents are functional, while others are fake.
It has 20-inch wheels with a clover shape, making them easier to clean, and showing the red brake callipers. The brakes can stop the car from 62 mph in 35 meters.
Inside, the car features some familiar buttons from the Jeep Avenger, and drive mode buttons. The instrument casing feels very Alfa, while the sports seats are firm but hugging.
With 400 litres, the boot has class-leading size, plus a hidden storage spot.
It's not a frunk but there is a convenient storage area for charging cables under the bonnet.
Entry-level electric versions come with a 154 bhp motor and a range of 250 miles; the cheapest version costs £33,895.
Alfa improved the steering and mechanical self-locking differential torsion to limit wheel spin.
The drive has direct feel, though the brake feedback could be better.
While quieter with little wind noise, the car's sound feels more representative of an EV, without being synthesized.
On the DNA driving modes: Dynamic gives sporty feel, Natural is for daily use, and Advanced Efficiency maximizes energy.
Despite some design niggles, the car is fun to drive, and is as capable on the road as it is on the track.
The reviewer states that this car successfully brings across the passion of the brand.
