NEW Alfa Romeo Junior Veloce Review: The most FUN small EV?

Рет қаралды 24,620

18 күн бұрын

The Alfa Romeo Junior is a small crossover that shares its underpinnings with other Stellantis models, including the Jeep Avenger and Vauxhall Mokka. In Veloce trim it's also a proper electric hot hatch, with 278bhp from its electric motor, a mechanical limited-slip differential and overhauled suspension. The Junior Veloce can get from 0-62mph in 5.9 seconds, and has a claimed 215-mile range from its 54kWh battery. Prices for this flagship model start from £42,295.
In this CarGurus UK review, Vicky Parrott tests the Junior Veloce EV on the twists and turns of Alfa's historic Balocco test track, and comes away very impressed indeed.
Would you consider a Junior Veloce over a more traditional hot hatch?

nice review that makes some optimistic suggestions for the future of the brand even with platform sharin g- would have been great to get a better taste of the range - is there still some of this dynamic in the more bread and butter models.

As the electric is so expensive for the man in the street, when will the hybrid be launched in the UK? I understand it will be 10,000 pounds cheaper.

@ISuperTed 16 күн бұрын

Like the looks (except the rear - looks like an EV6), interior and red colour but the rest is underwhelming and obviously shared with the many other small Stellantis crossovers. Veloce is very expensive but looks fun, the basic one just another 54kWhr clone like the 2008, Avenger, Mokka etc. Lease rates will be critical - if it’s cheap might consider one as our company car, but I get a feeling they won’t be.

@markbennett9787 16 күн бұрын

This top of the range model seems to have the handling capabilities that the alfisti are looking for, well done Stellantis ! However I do agree that the front is too fussy. I think there is a model in the range that has a much simpler scudetto that would improve the car’s appearance, the large Alfa logo is overdone. I think the presenter means to say mechanical limited slip differential, aren’t all differentials mechanical anyway ? It’s the cheaper form of electronic limited slip diff that my Guilietta has that the Veloce has avoided.

@Laaracansever 12 күн бұрын

Alfas have always aimed to inspire emotions by their design. In general, they do that with coherent curvy lines. Unfortunately, this car lacks coherence especially in the front. I agree with the presenter. It is fussy and the rear is also a bit non-Italian. I think they could have done better with a simpler design.

@johngarnham5772 16 күн бұрын

Alfa Romeo stylists have obviously and unfortunately spent too much time gazing at French and Korean body styling design. A real shame! I dare say it drives like an Alfa. Every Alfa should have a sole and bite hard into your sole but this 'AR Junior' (awful name), not quite sure?? It has managed to do one Alfa trick and that is to make you happy and smile. Will there be a QF version I wonder?! Price point too much also...

The UK is still allowing Chinese cars in without tariff so don't expect many of these but loads of MGs. We are be oning a dumping ground for Chinese EVs bought by the same people who voted Brexit and wept at sovereignty. European car brands need protecting from brands using cheaper labour with poorer protections, cheaper materials, stolen tech and dubious owners (MG is owned by the CCP - see HK, Taiwan, slave labour, spying etc).

EV’s are not wanted by the public yet they keep getting pushed and I suppose the best way is for the manufacturers to get them more agreeable is to get the motoring magazines to do it for them. Although we the public won’t entertain them. An electric Alfa Romeo is not an Alfa it’s just a Chinese electric motor with other industry parts. Cars engines is what keeps them unique to that brand take that away and the individuality is gone.
