Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica brings style to daily driving

The Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica uses a familiar Stellantis platform, but it manages to feel different through its design. With compact crossover proportions, Italian red paint, muscular details, and a front end inspired by Alfa Romeo history, it has more visual character than many of its close relatives. Inside, the cabin mixes practical Stellantis controls with Alfa touches like Alcantara trim and sporty seats. The physical climate buttons are easy to use, but some materials, especially piano black surfaces and hard plastics in the rear, feel less impressive. On the road, the Junior Elettrica works best as a city car. It has light steering, easy parking manners, good front visibility, and quick electric response at everyday speeds.
