Another Stellantis shitbox by any chance? Same 50 something kwh battery with insufficient range and dog slow charging?
Probably like the jeep Avenger. FWD. Depressing!
Stellantis: we pulled together all of your favourite brands to use the same architecture, and then gave that architecture the development budget of less than a single brand. 🤷♂️
156 - best looking saloon ever (to my eyes)
Always preferred the 159, ok I'm biased but I used to have one.
just embarrassing what happened to Alfa!
I'm glad you ended up testing the lower-powered Junior - all the others I've watched were the Veloce spec models.
I've never owned an Alfa and my only experience of being driven in one was as a school kid, since my neighbour's Dad had a Sud...
But, as sad as the Alfisti might feel seeing this move towards EV, it's what will keep the brand making money so they can, perhaps, also keep bringing out more 'typical' Alfa models.
Pretty sure it will only fund very exxy specials that no ordinary people can afford. Meanwhile the brand is trashed… and I say that having owned 3 Alfas.
Was waiting for you guys to do this review. Kudos on your camera team. They're the best I've ever seen
Really nice presentation of the video. Great to watch.
I know these are different segments, but I do feel the much cheaper Renault 5 is overall a better package, especially given the tight rear legroom you show here. Maybe the small suv/crossover is reaching the end of the road and we may happily be going back to small hatchbacks......
I really hope this car sells well. It’s looks like a competent enough car and if it does bring the number, that only a good thing for Alfa Romeo. I don’t care about the negative comments, go on Junior, make some money for the brand, so Alfa can stay in business
If they made a good looking 156 style estate it would be unique and standout. This is just generic and bland. Alfa giulia will be the last good one.
This is not an Alfa Romeo.
Maybe not really, but it's a usable, fun to drive ev that looks quite good and without it, there might be no more new Alfa 's at all in the future. Is that better?
Almost every new car today share a platform anyway
So maybe it will be reliable!?
Yes it is an Alfa. There is no future for petrol engines, you are killing our future generations.
'Frunk'?????? This isn't America and Musk did NOT invent the concept of a front boot (have you never heard of the Porsche 911 or VW Beetle?'). Sorry, but you're getting a downvote for that - bloody awful word, and a bloody American/Musk one to boot!!! 😡
I’ll take the EV3
Great review though!
Anyone know the song starting at 0:50?
Two Forty Five - Ted Griggs 😊
@ my N*ggah! Thanks
Wouldnt go near one!
It’s a travesty to call that an Alfa Junior - what next ? A 2 tonne electric Alfasud ti.
Well at least the “engine” won’t break!
Every stelantis EV I've driven has been fundamentally flawed by it's small battery, woeful efficiency, and lackluster performance. Given my long history of Alfa ownership, I hope this is the exception...i suspect that sadly it won't be
Its a Peugeot.........no question
A better looking Peugeot small SUV? A better driving one?
Kinda looks like a KIA, lol
What were they thinking?!
Wish u test drove the top of the line one ? 😒
Its the cheapest feeling interior in decades. Most uncomfortable rear seat too, no wonder the luggage space is large. I keep my Giulia Q thank you!
Awful
Only thing Alfa Romeo about it is the small black part of front grill...all the rest is too french, from the front lights those are like from renault (not PSA still French), hood is like new 2008 bf facelift, whole side is like any other PSA "SUV".
But they totally killed it by the name - Junior ? REally ? Italian cars should have more imaginative names - Giulia, Giulietta, Tonale, Stelvio...where does JUNIOR fit in this...they just do not care any more at Stellantis... like GM did they just hope they are now TOO BIG TO FAIL (hoping for support from the governments), or to be effectivelly the only (or one of 2) producer in Europe - like they are in small van segment....argh ... this should not have been allowed for them to buy fiat alfa and jeep ... they became too big for their own good...too many models with nothing special/or even different.
And absolute blow is using french 25 year old turn signal and light levers...it must be a design marvel it can not be done better... like Lada cars used to be for 50 years all the same, or with minimal changes.
I have no conclusion , but just why ? who will buy it ? it is called JUNIOR....car like Giulietta is proper Alfa (you can recognize it from afar and enjoy just looking at it), this is not like that at all. Do they want it to fail?
That is the saddest looking thing with the 'Alfa' name on it. You could name this flying turd anything You want.
Euro shit box
❤❤❤
You seem to enjoy gimmicky details with 'Alfisti' aroma.
Funky
Simply: NO!
