Inovev forecasts 40,000 units per year of the new Alfa-Romeo Junior
- To complete its range in the lower segements, the Italian brand Alfa-Romeo (one of the 14 brands of the Stellantis group) presented the Junior (name of a former model of the brand), a B-segment SUV which in some way succeeds the Mito, the brand's only B-segment sedan, produced between 2008 and 2018 at 300,000 units.
- The Junior shares its STLA-Small platform (ex-CMP) with the B-segment models of the Stellantis group, such as the Peugeot 208, Peugeot 2008, Opel Corsa, Opel Mokka, DS 3, Fiat 600, Lancia Ypsilon or Jeep Avenger.
- The Alfa-Romeo Junior, which measures 4.17 m long, 1.78 m wide and 1.54 m high, competes with B-segment SUVs such as the Renault Captur, Nissan Juke, Ford Puma, Volkswagen Taigo, Volkswagen T-Cross, Skoda Kamiq and Toyota Yaris Cross, as well as B-segment SUVs from the Stellantis group (Peugeot 2008, Opel Mokka, DS 3, Fiat 600, Jeep Avenger).
- The Italian new model is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.2 MHEV petrol engine delivering 136 hp (100 kW) and a electric engine of 156 hp (115 kW) or 240 hp (177 kW) coupled with a battery delivering 54 kWh, for a range of 400 km. The choice between gasoline engine and electric motor will optimize the sales volumes of the Junior.
- This model will be assembled in Poland, in Tichy, alongside the Fiat 500, Fiat 600 and Jeep Avenger, at a rate of 40,000 units per year according to Inovev, including 75% in the gasoline version and 25% in the electric version. Its announced price is 31,500 euros in the gasoline version and 40,500 euros in the electric version. Alfa-Romeo has indicated that it will launch a new Stelvio SUV in 2025 and a new Giulia sedan in 2026.
