The Alfa Junior (known as the Alfa Romeo Milano until a few days ago) is a small SUV that’s roughly the same size as the Jeep Avenger, which is no coincidence as both Jeep and Alfa are part of the car manufacturing giant, Stellantis, which merged Fiat, Peugeot, Citroen, Jeep. Vauxhall and more – all into one company a few years ago. That’s why the Junior also shares many parts with the Avenger and the Fiat 600e, including its ‘e-CMP2’ platform and 54kWh battery. This is also the first electric car to come from the historic Italian brand.
That battery, mated to a 154bhp electric motor that drives the front wheels, manages a range of around 250 miles, and they’ll be a sportier one coming, too. The Alfa Junior Veloce will get 236bhp, as it will use the same motor as the recently-confirmed Abarth 600e. It’ll also get wider track, a mechanical locking differential, so it should be properly fun to drive.
The 54kWh lithium-ion battery is familiar from the Jeep Avenger, Peugeot e-208, Vauxhall Corsa-e and more, and here it’s expected to manage a range of around 250-miles, although we’ll have to wait for the finalised figure. The higher-powered, beefed-up Alfa Junior Veloce model gets 236bhp – rather than the 154bhp of the standard car – plus a number of tweaks to make it feel like a proper enthusiast’s car, so we’d expect range on that to be quite a bit lower. Rapid charging is up to 100kW, which will get a 10-80% charge in around 30 minutes, or a 100-mile top-up in about 20 minutes. A 7kW home charger will deliver a full charge from nearly empty in eight hours.
