Alfa Romeo Junior: a journey through time through iconic models

The Alfa Romeo Junior will play a key role in the brand’s commercial strategy. In fact, this car will be responsible for representing tradition adapted to the modern world, with all the innovative and advanced technologies that are available nowadays. So a perfect fusion between what is the history of Alfa Romeo and what will be of its future.

Junior also appears to be a tribute to legendary models that have made Alfa Romeo history. Its design, of course, references stylistic and particularly well-known elements that have made such cars as the 1966 GT Junior, Giulietta, and MiTo highly desirable on the market. The logo on the front, for example, is offered in historical italics, an absolutely distinguished feature that has accompanied the Biscione’s victories on circuits around the world. The shape of the “shield” grille, on the other hand, takes great inspiration from the 6C 2500 of 1949, a car that reigned in an era for its great elegance and high-level performance. The front light clusters, on the other hand, with their triple-element LED structure, bring to mind the 1989 Alfa Romeo SZ and to the 2005 Brera, two models that characterized the brand’s sporty and innovative spirit.

The Junior’s taillight, by contrast, is equipped with an aerodynamic line inspired by the “truncated tail” of the Giulia TZ and the 33 Stradale, two legendary cars that had no rivals capable of beating them in 1960s motor racing. The rear window, V-shaped, hints at the 8C Competizione and the 8C 2900 B, two masterpieces on wheels that brought great success to Carrozzeria Touring. To conclude we find the rims that echo the five-hole design typical of historic models such as the 33 Stradale and Sprint, a detail that stands for the sportiness and safety of the vehicle.

The interior part of the car refers to all the cars that had more sporty spirit of the brand with the “Spyglass” instrument panel, which is responsible for providing the driver with a very engaging and also dynamic driving experience. The ergonomic steering wheel, seats wrapping fine materials create a refined and sporty atmosphere, a rather typical element of Alfa Romeo DNA.

Environment-friendly by innovative EV power

The Alfa Junior is being made also available in several hybrid and electric configurations, starting with the 156-hp Electric version that also achieves a range of up to 410 km, an entirely perfect version for those who want a car with an eco-friendly drive but who also do not want to give up performance. Next we find the Hybrid version equipped with MHEV technology with 136 hp, an assembly that ensures rather low fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions, and finally we also find the recent 280 hp electric “Veloce,” designed and created for all those who consider themselves fans of strong emotions and high performance. Also planned by the end of the current year is the hybrid version with Q4 all-wheel drive, which will be capable of ensuring maximum grip and control on any type of terrain.
