Alfa Romeo Junior

I've owned an Alfa Romeo Junior Ibrida Intensa since June 2025 and have already driven about 13,000 km. Aesthetically, it's a real success. The car turns heads, the interior finish is meticulous, and the cabin atmosphere is very pleasant. This is clearly one of this model’s strong points.

Unfortunately, over the past few weeks, several electronic malfunctions have been occurring randomly. In particular, I’ve had problems with the hands-free key recognition, a trunk that sometimes refuses to lock properly, and a dashboard screen that stays black, making it impossible to change driving modes or use certain controls.

In addition, the transmission got stuck in Park on one occasion, and the radio volume would increase or decrease on its own. I also noticed premature wear on the driver's side running board seal.

After contacting the dealership, it appears that some of these issues are known to affect several models from the Stellantis group. The car will soon have to spend several days at the repair shop for diagnostics.

I'm still pleased with the comfort and design of this Junior, but these electronic issues are currently dampening the experience. I hope a lasting solution will be found soon, because this car's potential is undeniable.

I've been driving an electric Alfa Romeo Junior Veloce for a year now. It's a real pleasure to drive on the road. The handling is excellent, the performance is impressive, and the overall comfort is very satisfying. It’s a pleasure to drive every day, with dynamic handling that truly reflects Alfa Romeo’s DNA.

On the other hand, my experience with the electronic system’s reliability has been less positive. The car has already been back to the dealership twice for repairs. For about six months now, I’ve been having a recurring problem with the center display. When starting the car, the multimedia system sometimes freezes completely, rendering the screen unusable. In this situation, none of the controls respond, and restarting the vehicle usually doesn’t help. The system eventually starts working again on its own, for no apparent reason.

The situation is all the more frustrating because the dealership that sold me the car no longer has a technician who specializes in electric vehicles. For any major repairs, the car has to be sent to another repair shop more than two hours away by car.

The Junior Veloce remains an excellent car in terms of driving pleasure, but the recurring electronic glitches and difficulties with after-sales service are areas that need improvement. Today, I’m torn between the joy it brings behind the wheel and the frustrations caused by its unreliable electronics.

I've had this car for three months and driven 5,000 km; it's very pleasant to drive, though the center display can be a bit finicky at times.

I’ve been driving the Alfa Romeo Junior Hybrid for three months now—it’s a beautiful car. It’s a pleasure to drive, though the trim on the roof is peeling a bit; I’ll take it to Alfa Romeo in the next few days. The left blind-spot sensor isn’t working very well. It’s a bit pricey for some of the trim details (trunk mat), and the seats feel a bit flimsy—we’ll see how long they last.

I've driven 7,500 km and I'm thrilled. I think it's beautiful and a real pleasure to drive (smooth and responsive). I've got the hang of the multimedia system and the cameras now. I think it’s a good, well-equipped car, but it is a bit slow off the line despite having 145 hp. Well, I’m retired and pretty slow by nature, so I’m not in a rush to get going. Since I make a lot of short trips, it doesn’t exactly shine in terms of fuel economy.

A very pleasant car with adequate power and excellent fuel economy. I've driven 10,000 km and have no complaints.

I’ve owned an electric Veloce Junior for a year now. In terms of driving, comfort, and everything else, it’s great—no complaints. However, it’s already been back to the dealership for repairs twice, and since the dealership that sold it to me no longer has an electrician, it has to be taken to a shop 2.5 hours away from my home. In short, for the past six months, the tablet has been acting up. The screen freezes when I start the car, and I can’t do anything. No matter how many times I turn the car on and off, nothing helps. It goes back to normal whenever it decides to.

I’ve owned an Alfa Romeo Junior Ibrida Special for a year and a half and have driven 23,000 km. No problems.

I've had it since September 2025, and after just a month, the screens were turning off, Apple CarPlay was working whenever it felt like it… and the central display was glitching all the time (even though a lot of functions are controlled through it). In short, the electronics aren’t up to par at all...
On the other hand, it’s a nice little car—comfortable and fun to drive.

I've had a Junior Elettrica since October 2025, which I bought brand-new; it currently has 11,000 km on it, and I haven't had any issues so far.

It's a nice car, but I've had nothing but problems with the dashboard turning itself off... and there's no solution yet. The speed sensors are unreliable, the brakes are mediocre, and so on.
