ALFA ROMEO JUNIOR - IS THIS THE CAR THAT CAN SAVE ALFA ROMEO?

EV Channels Review

The Alfa Romeo Junior aims to be the car that saves the brand, entering the crucial B-segment crossover market. While its styling is a definite strong point, drawing praise for its distinctive and attractive design, the interior presents a mixed bag. The design is praised, but the reviewer expresses significant disappointment with the quality of materials used, particularly in the mid-range Speciale trim, feeling it doesn't live up to the Alfa Romeo premium aspirations or even some Stellantis stablemates like DS. Practicality is average, with a decent boot but lacking in rear-seat amenities like storage and USB ports. The real standout, however, is the driving experience. In 'Dynamic' mode, the Junior transforms into a fun, responsive, and engaging car to drive, with quickened steering that sets it apart from other Stellantis platform siblings. Real-world range is estimated around 220 miles, with charging speeds being average for the class. Ultimately, the Junior's success hinges on its ability to attract new buyers with its looks and engaging driving dynamics, despite interior quality concerns.
