Alfa Romeo Junior priced for Australia

ALFA ROMEO Australia has confirmed pricing for its keenly anticipated Junior compact SUV, the model available to order now from $45,900 plus on-road costs.

Ready to vie against the likes of the twin-under-the-skin Jeep Avenger, Nissan Juke, and Volkswagen T-Cross, the Alfa Romeo Junior will be offered in Ibrida (hybrid) and Elettrica (electric) formats, each featuring an “emotional” design Alfa Romeo says reinterprets its typical stylistic features.

Measuring in at 4170mm in length, 1780mm in width, 1500mm in height, and with a kerb weight of 1545kg, the Alfa Romeo Junior combines several features linking to classic Alfa Romeo design language.

These include a fascia comprising the iconic “leggenda scudetto” (legend shield) on a blackened grille, Alfa Romeo lettering in acrylic, paying homage to the Alfa Romeo sports cars of the 1920s and 30s, 3+3 styled adaptive LED matrix headlights, and dual side air intakes in the front bumper.

In profile, the Junior is said to offer a sleek and dynamic form that is carefully crafted to reduce aerodynamic drag, while at the same time providing practical interior accommodation for five adults and their luggage.

Staying inside the cabin we find a blend of premium materials and driver-centric ergonomics as well as customisable 10.25-inch digital instrument and infotainment screens, the latter of which supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Under the bonnet, the Ibrida variant offers a turbocharged 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine assisted by a 48-volt system comprising lithium-ion battery and 21kW electric motor. Drive is to the front wheels via a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Alfa Romeo quotes system output at 107kW/230Nm, 0-100km/h acceleration time at 8.9 seconds, top speed at 206km/h, and a combined cycle fuel consumption of 4.1 litres per 100km (NEDC).

Meanwhile, the Elettrica offers a front mounted Hybrid Synchronous Motor delivering 115kW/260Nm. Power is drawn from a 54kW battery pack to deliver a 0-100km/h time of 9.0 seconds and a driving range of up to 407km (WLTP).

AC and (100kW) DC charging is supported, the latter said to provide sufficient charge in 10 minutes for 100km of travel, or a 10-80 per cent charge in approximately 30 minutes.

All variants are equipped as standard with a comprehensive list of safety inclusions, such as active lane management, adaptive cruise control, automated parking assistance, autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, driver behaviour warning system, high beam assist, lane keeping assistance, six airbags, and traffic sign recognition.

In terms of standard equipment, we find both the in Ibrida and Elettrica offering 18-inch alloy wheels, body-coloured door handles, dusk-sensing headlights, a gloss black body kit and wing mirror covers, LED tail-lights, two-tone black roof, rain-sensing wipers, and rear privacy glass.

A sunroof is available optionally at $1990.

In the cabin, the duo is finished with Spiga black cloth and leatherette combination upholstery, a leather-bound steering wheel, aluminium pedals and sill covers, 60:40 split-fold rear seats, and a height adjustable cargo area floor.

Further to the dual 10.25-inch screens listed above, we also find technologies including native sat nav, DAB+ radio reception, six-speaker sound, Alfa Connected Services suite, a wireless device charging pad, front USB-A and USB-C charging ports, a rear USB-C port, single-zone climate control, a six-way power adjustable driver seat with two-way lumbar support and massage function, front seat heating, a self-dimming rear-view mirror, and powered tailgate.

The 2025 Alfa Romeo Junior will be offered in a choice of six paint colours including White Sempione (NCO), and cost-option ($1990) hues including Arese Steel, Black Tortana, Blue Navigli, Galleria Light Grey, and Red Brera.

Alfa Romeo Australia backs the Junior with a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty inclusive of roadside assistance. An eight-year/160,000km warranty applies separately to the high-voltage battery on the Elettrica variant.
