Alfa Romeo Junior: hybrid, electric and trims
The Alfa Romeo Junior is a small premium crossover launched in 2024, available with a mild hybrid and electric powertrain. We look at the versions, trims, and what to consider when buying a Junior that's just a few months or years old.
Junior in brief
The Junior is the smallest Alfa Romeo model currently on offer, built in Poland. It's designed for city and daily use but retains Italian styling with the signature front grille and sporty proportions.
The car is very new, so there aren't many used options available. Most are just a few months or a year old, and the key points are the remaining warranty and the true service history.
Which version to choose
The Junior comes in two main variants: mild hybrid (Ibrida) and fully electric (Elettrica). There's also a more powerful Elettrica Veloce version.
If you drive a lot in the city and have somewhere to charge, the electric version seems convenient. If you often drive long distances, it makes more sense to choose the hybrid.
Engines and gearboxes
The Ibrida has a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine with a 48V mild hybrid (around 136hp) and a 6-speed automatic dual-clutch gearbox. The Elettrica has an electric motor (around 156hp), and the Veloce has a more powerful one (around 280hp).
The electric versions' range according to WLTP is around 400km. Check the exact figures in the specific car's documents.
What to check when buying a used Junior
Check the software version, multimedia, and assistance systems. New models sometimes have updates that need to be performed.
In the electric version, request battery health data and test the charging. In the hybrid, listen to how the engine engages and how the gearbox operates.
Inspect the body, wheels, and tyres. Check if the warranty is transferred to the new owner.
