Alfa Romeo Junior | Everything you need to know about Alfa's first EV⚡️
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 май 2024
- Alfa Romeo's first EV has had a difficult birth. Just hours before the launch, a name change was forced upon it as 'Milano' was off the table. As the car isn't being made in Milan, that name is in fact illegal. So, with what we're assuming was a slightly frantic board meeting, the first EV was renamed 'Junior.'
In a weird turn of events, this difficult start has translated into a lot of press coverage which can only really be a good thing. So, let us walk you around this crossover SUV that has Alfa Romeo's future well and truly in its hands.

Of course it's another bloody crossover...
they really have done their best to make us hate everything about it
Bullying is bad but if I see you in one of these, I'm laughing at you.
Lmao, they had to rename it junior 😂 what a joke
Blame the italian government.
@@brickhead_07, blame Alfa Romeo for using Polish labor instead of Italian labor because it was cheaper.
@@flyingphoenix113 If they built it in Italy it would be more expensive. Who to blame that for?
Cars just keep getting more boring with every release. It's a shame alfa had to do this, it really is.
Nope, that's not going to make any difference in the end of the day.
I wish for Alfa to do well, but an electric crossover SUV (or whatever this is) isn't going to do them any favors.
Small Crossovers are selling well.
@@brickhead_07 most people will just buy the updated version of whatever crossover they have now.
@@brickhead_07 Yes, along with vapid movies, light beer, carcinogenic food, and 80 year old world leaders. Very popular.
The fact these cars are popular makes me hate the world.
People that are hating on this car are showing huge amounts of hypocrisy. Alfa just can't win. When they released the Giulia, which was beautiful and innovative and best in class, no one went out and bought it. The same thing happened with the Stelvio. People would say all the right things but no one bought it.
Now that they are releasing a model which is part of the quickest growing segment to ensure their future, everyone is hating on that. I'm not sure what people expect from Alfa these days but it sure seems as though they will never be happy, no matter what Alfa does.
Well said. It’s the same as people talking about manual cars. They talked about sports cars should come with manual box and yet look at the proportions of 911, M2 … 90% ended up being AT 🤷♂️🤷🤷♀️🐵🙊🙉🙈🙄
Alfas have not all been RWD in history. A lot of them were FWD from the 70s to the 2000s
More E Waste in 5 years time....
This right here. People go out of their way to maintain old Alfas, but nobody will keep these things going.
I hated this at first, but the more I see it the more I don't mind it as much. I just hope we get some real cars from Alfa soon...
The Giulia is a real car.
the saving grace for Junior (if any) will be that it achieves a traditional Alfa superlative - the best driving / handling experience of all in class - though I'm not sure that matters to the market for electric / hybrid crossovers.
the worst thing to ever be said in Italy was "you cant name it after an Italian city if its not built there" -Italian government to Alfa Romeo
needless to say the Chevy Bel Air, Monte Carlo, and Ferrari Roma are all illegal now according to italy
Ferrari Roma is assembled in Italy, it doesn't say that it hast to be in that specific city.
Just because they ‘need’ to make a crossover ev for the market doesn’t mean it has to be so bloody ugly 🤮
It’s not ugly it’s different like all Alfas before
@@brickhead_07yes it different… and ugly
Its insane how bad automotive design has become in the last 10 years or so
😔 What would Sergio Marchionne say?
Porco dio
That's what he would say.
I don't need to know anything about Alfa's first EV.
Video should be 0 seconds long.
Why did you click on this video then?
Based.
@@brickhead_07 Might be to tell the channel that I don't need to know anything about Alfa's first EV.
Don't really know why I'm replying to you; You obviously can't read.
@@C.I... There are people who are interested and that’s what counts. Who cares about the people who are not?
it looks alright, and I pray it sells well
it wouldn't sell even if you get full indulgentia with it...
This car make me believe that real love can exist !!!
Looks great!
What is up with the name?? Junior? makes me feel like im in high school again, horrible name
Qashqai by Alfa Romeo
Ouch, thta's a low blow.
Any idea about the price?
EV starting at 40K, ICE at 30K
well... if you want to have your own F1 team you first need to make some Redbull.
I hope this car will serve as a step towards releasing more "real" Alfas, and nothing else
Brilliant!
I like it. It turned out much better than could be expected after having seen the earliest pictures. Lower it at least 3 cm for the full 'normal hatchback' experience, and use 16" wheels with some meat around them (rubber) for a compliant ride.
Wonder if it’ll come with piped in Busso V6 noise. Probably will be offered as part of a $5000 “performance sound” pack. The 2025 Nissan Kicks has basically the same looks, but with a gas engine and for probably 20k less.
The answer to that is in the video...
No
“Most important car in Alfa Romeo’s history”????
What!?
Contrairement à ce qu'un certain nombre de personne disent, cette nouvelle Alfa est magnifique. Elle sort de l'ordinaire du design attendu d'une Alfa et c'est ce qui la rend intéressante. En même temps, je ne crois pas qu'elle trahi l'histoire d'Alfa Romeo même si elle partage la base technique des Peugeot et autres Jeep car les ingénieurs d'Alfa ont personnalisés la plate-forme commune ainsi que le moteur pure tech et c'est cela qui compte.
It's not! "the most important car in Alfa Romeo's history"
I really hope they are not going to ruin upcoming Giulia
Alfa Romeo Junior 🍀😊
Best looking in it's class.........................if you want high performance buy the QV Giulia 😀
It is front wheel drive, but so was the Alfasud. So, was the Sud not considered as a true Alfa Romeo?
Wait??? It’s not called the Milano????
The Italian government had a issue that such a car would hold the name of an Italian city
Sweet, it looks like every other boring crossover blob. Thanks Alfa Romeo.
Who's going to buy a 2 door crossover? It's like they're going out of their way to not sell cars.
Looks like a remake of the alfasud….the rear especially
I'm not an EV hater so that's not my main problem (though petrol with a manual gearbox will always be more fun imo), but this look is really not my cup of tea. It looks like a Peugeot.
Non solo sembra una peugeot ma e" una peugeot telaio carrozzeria motore 3 cilindri e batterie elettriche tutto peugeot e poi assemblata in Polonia con stemma alfa le alfa romeo e un marchio morto negli anni 80
Busso 👏 Busso 👏 Busso 👏
Wait. So the hope is that if Alfa sells enough, “they’ll use the money to build the things we care about”…but they’re not building petrol cars beyond 2027?.
Join the line of previously loved marques that are aligning with government legislation over what their target market wants. RIP Alfa, you were flawed but brilliant.
Alfa is likely to have a change of heart in regards to offering more ICE versions. The market has already spoken on EVs.
the prosecutor has a haircut from the future!!
No no no!
It look like a Peugeot Italian variant 🤐
That new Spaniard designer just ruined it! What a pitty for AR...
If the new way of Goodwood is to post ads for electric cars, I will be unfollowing the organization.
I love it, looks great
First! Very attractive car I must say!
Not interested in Alfa’s first EV. In fact not interested in any EV. ICE all the way …..
Why did you click on this video then
@@brickhead_07 first I didn’t watch the video and second to communicate my absolute and utter disdain for EVs and I’m happy to say that judging by the comments I’m not in alone 😁
@@hansbambach4854 A man of culture, I see. :^)
why do they have to touch the paint soo much
Junior ? really ?? omg...horrible name for Alfa
Blame the Italian Government,
It would've been called the 'Milano'
it worked ok back in the '60s & '70s.
Do some research you will see it has a long history the Junior
Difficult to like. Styling is too complicated and fussy at the front (better at the back) and FWD, even as an EV.
Go home, Alfa - you're drunk...
EVs will be the downfall of the automotive industry, not the savior.
Kinda unacceptable to have less than 300 miles of range…
It's a B-segment car.
Same range as the others on the same platform (Peugeot 2008, Fiat 600e, Opel Okka) and totally reasonable with a 50 kWh battery.
@@leoscock Yes, that’s why they should’ve used a bigger battery…
The italian government is fighting against the so called "italian sounding" (non italian made products using italian naming to artificially suggest premiumness, noble origin, and higher price ) which is an abusive practice that costs billions to Italian companies each year. To keep the battle against false origin coherent, It make sense to stop Alfa Romeo/Stellantis, since "Milano" suggests milanese origin. The car might have the spirit and the feel of Alfa Romeo (I hope), it is not an 100% italian car.
Shocked to see them wasting the history of the name of one of the most beautiful cars of all time on an ugly SUV
this brand has lost its prime long ago
🤮 Says everything anyone who has ever owned a real Alfa Romeo is thinking right now. So sad how this brand has been hollowed out by corporate brown nosers
Dead. Long gone. Alpha is being desecrated by current owners.
@@Jimmy_Watt That's "Alfa".
It's crap
Take a look at those panel gaps. Traditional Alpha then.
hope you hate Teslas then
@@wololo10 I dislike all EV's. Tesla did have appalling panel gaps in the early days, but the latest cars are much improved. Tesla was founded in 2003, Alpha in 1910 and they still can't get it right.
@@frednerk8366 And you still can't spell "Alfa" correctly.
@@rlsedition Yes, a silly mistake. But it does not alter my opinion !
EVs are simply not the future. Don't buy one.
I like it. People think alfa must make only cars like 4c or Giulia. Why? I do not need them. I need junior.
If you need a functional car why bothering Alfa? Buy Peugeot 2008 insted. This Junior is a shame for an historical brand like Alfa
@@user-fy9zk2bq7q do u think? Do not buy It. I do not think so. I like this, not a peugeot
@@user-fy9zk2bq7q I like It, not Peugeot. I like alfa style and what alfa team realize in this car.
Come on Alfa be original, don't be making a crappie ev that no one wants. We all love alfa romeo but this is a let down
No way I'll buy this to replace my Giulietta.
No thanks.
I love Alfas, but that’s them bust if this is their idea for the future. 😖 😂😂
Alfa romeo non esiste piu
I don’t get why people in the comments rather say something not so nice when saying something nice costs essentially nothing.
I just can’t believe Alfa would make something not so nice!
Because Goodwood is apparently actively pushing the death of what it proclaims to support?
another car which. you can't sell to anyone...
Much more ev slop clogging my feed on this channel and im probably unsubbing.
Your audience do not care about EVs
Stelantis really do like making dogshit.
Saviour?
EV & all the crap that brings. Very expensive for what it is. Ugliest Alfa in a long time. No longer even built in Italy.
Everything you need to know: It's an electric car. 🥱 (Or "Crossover SUV" or whatever the heck they call 'em these days)
