To have an Alfa Romeo Junior delivered quickly, here's the color you shouldn't choose

While theAlfa Romeo Junior is saving the Italian brand in 2025, stabilizing registrations after two halcyon yearscustomers rushing to order their copy discover another reality: not all models are delivered at the same rate.

If you're in a hurry to get behind the wheel of your Junior, there's one configuration you'll want to avoid... especially if you don't want to wait up to eight months.

Red with black roof: the configuration most affected by delays

Among the buyer testimonials shared on social networks and specialized forums, a clear trend is emerging: the red Alfa Romeo Junior Ibrida with black roof seems to accumulate the longest lead times. One customer explains that he has already been waiting for eight months:

"I'm already waiting for the 8ᵉ month for my order, they can't deliver the red one with the black roof at the moment."

Another Internet user, in the same situation, is reassuring:

"Courage, it was supposed to be 3 months for me too, but we got it 2 months late. Today, we're enjoying it."

But that doesn't change the fact: delays are frequent for this highly sought-after configuration.

Red pleases... a little too much

A dealer Alfa Romeo has confirmed that the red Ibrida version is particularly hard hit.

"It's the combination of color and engine that's the problem. Red is very much in demand, especially in hybrid versions. This means long production times.
Conversely, the Junior Elettrica Speciale red seems better off.

Average lead time: 3 to 5 months... or more

In cases without delays, the best lead time for an Alfa Romeo Junior is 3 months. But at the moment, it's more like 5 months, as shown by this very detailed testimonial from a buyer of a grey Alfa Romeo Junior Ibrida:

• End of February: order placed
• June 3: start of production
• June 11: factory outlets in Poland
• July 4: arrival at the dealership
• July 11: registration
• July 12: finally delivered

But if we add delays in production, transport or color availability, some customers reach 8 months.

Conclusion: if you're in a hurry, avoid red.

Dreaming of an Alfa Romeo Junior? Then avoid the red with black roof hybrid version for the time being. This configuration is one of the most desired, but also one of the slowest in production. Until the supply chain is readjusted, it's best to opt for more classic colors, or turn to a red electric version already in stock.
