Alfa Romeo Junior
The Alfa Romeo Junior is the Italian brand's first B-SUV. Unlike the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Alfa Romeo Tonale SUVs, the Junior is produced in Poland, on an eCMP platform used by the Fiat 600 and Jeep Avenger. This SUV was called Milano when it was first presented, before becoming Junior after a few days.

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 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.
