So you know what we think. But do you agree? Can a hot crossover be a true Alfa Romeo, especially if it unlocks the funds to make more exotic models? Let us know what you think and we'll let Alfa know 👍

May have power, but has no Alfa looks, will have no Alfa dynamics. You can clearly see the head designer from Cupra, horrible looking car, bulky front seats stiled in Cubra design. Please get this guy out of Alfa and put back an Italian designer!

Many thanks for this comprehensive and competent report. I see you had a lot of fun driving it 😀 Unfortunately, there are always people who say that at these presentations the invited journalists report favourably on the car so that you can be invited back. Can you say something about that? I'm not accusing you of this opinion of some people, but I'd still be interested to hear what you have to say. Thank you

@@zagatolinoj9991 Thanks for the nice words. I can confirm that we are at no risk of not being invited back if we don't give a positive review, because the manufacturers respect that we have to be independent. A recent example of a car we weren't so keen on was the Honda e:Ny1 (video in our feed). It's proof that we certainly don't hold back if we are not impressed. So when it comes to this Junior, we were as relieved as anybody to see that this Veloce model is a very fun car. All that remains to be seen is if the less sporting Junior variants can retain some of its sparkle. We hope so, and will find out when we driven them later this year 🤞 / Sam

Leaning on voice commands is not a viable substitute for a well thought out user interface. It relies on the voice recognition to be reliable (which it wasn't at the time of review) and not ideal when you're listening to music, having a conversation with a passenger or in the midst of a phone call. Swiping up only works from the very bottom edge of the display which requires too much coordination while driving (horizontal swipes from the edge closest to the driver make more sense) These tweaks can easily be rectified in a software update. /Jamil

The question is not if its really an Alfa Romeo the way it drives. It Just does not look as an Alfa Romeo, Who says is a good looking car does not understand nothing about the brand. Alfa Romeo was always about clean lines in very sportive looks. This looks like a renault in the front and Peugeot in thw back, only the wheels and the interior looks like a real Alfa.

Oh dear Alfa. Sat in one the other day. Doesn't feel like an Alfa at all (I'm a Giulia owner). Very soft seating (no front seat lateral support) and cheap scratchy wheelie bin plastics on the door cards. RWD and/ or FWD with 2.0 Turbo ICE. It may stand a chance for high sales volumes with ICE hybrid. Looks very French to me with regard to exterior styling.

As an old school Alfa owner, it is very hard to warm to these types of cars. But last year I came close to leasing a new EV for the FBT and luxury car tax exemptions (and other tax benefits of leasing) that are available in Australia. I briefly considered the Tonale until learning that the non plug-in hybrid initially available here was not eligible for the main exemptions. The plug-in version should actually qualify, so this review has me thinking it may be time to revisit a novated lease... (This would also probably be my best chance of convincing my missus to like Alfas - as the car would be used by her mostly and she hates my low-riding, much older and very loud ones).

Come to think of it, the Junior might just be the ideal car for an Alfa Romeo enthusiast with family that are not so enthusiastic 🤣 Please let us know if you do find yourself getting a Tonale or Junior. What old school Alfas do you have/have you had? Is that your GTV in your profile picture? /Jamil

@@cinch cheers mate. Potenziata was basically the ultimate "final" version of the top-spec Alfa 75 3.0L QV. It had the Digital Motronic fuel injection and engine management system, uprated cams (same as the 164), higher compression ratio at 9.5:1 and 3.73:1 diff ratio instead of the taller 3.55:1. I've got Buckley's of finding one here in Australia - only maybe 50 RHD versions made it Downunder, and no more than a dozen are still on the road here. But I could live with a 2.0L Twin Spark, or the 2.5L V6 too. I don't think any unicorn 1.8L Turbo Evoluzione versions made it here.

This car is matchless within the competition - more precisely the competition beats it's ass in every way. Junior doesn't have attributes to have good sales: 1/ looks? No thank you i would take lexus or cupra, even Volvo ex30 looks better 2/ engines? 1.2 puretech or electric crap - no thank you! 3/ reliability? Like above - Good luck with unreliable 1.2 puretech (going back to roots I guess), or go with electric crap engines which are much less popular 4/ price? For this price it gives only one advantage - driving experience and only in top version 😂 which can be not enough to compete with others. Competition has lower prices. 5/ Driving? If other cars can offer 80-90% of the fun and have attributes from above I would take them instead.

Consider these as factory "mods". They exist to differentiate this car from others that share the platform. We get more variety at a cheaper price while manufacturers get to reduce R&D costs. It's a win-win / Jamil

In 1962 my father bought a Giulia TI which as a nineteen year old I was allowed to drive occasionally. The car developed only 91bhp from its 1600 cc engine but had beautifully balanced handling and, a rarity in those days, a very slick 5 speed gearbox. Later on I hankered after an Alfasud but ended up buying a Citroën GS estate which was more suitable for my work as a farm vet. Now in my dotage I have a Guilietta 150 bhp Multiair. The Junior has to go some to match the two Alfas that I have experienced in my life. The 280bhp version of the Junior is no doubt a very good car but is too expensive for me, let’s hope the less powerful all electric version retains the same chassis mods that distinguish it from its Stellantis stablemates. PS Most of my cars have been Saabs 99, 900 and finally 9000.

@@cinch hmmm I’m still not convinced tbh. The price of new cars spiralling out of control. If governments want us to buy EV’s then manufacturers need to bring prices down. £43k for a snazzy Vauxhall Mokka sized car? Come on. Presumably that’s even before options, on road charges, etc? Eye watering prices I’m afraid. As we see, the second hand value of EV’s are plummeting so who’d buy this brand new?? Cars don’t make financial sense, EV’s less so.

The base (Electtrica) model starts at £33,895 (which is already more premium and better looking than the Vauxhall Mokka). The top trim level Veloce (the one we tested) comes in at under £43,000 with the bespoke performance components such as the Torsen LSD, 280HP motor, uprated dampers, springs and performance tyres. So it's actually a pretty good deal. There are more flawed performance hot hatches that cost more than this. / Jamil

@@cinch I mean with all due respect, just under £43k for a small crossover isn’t really a good deal. Most of us mere mortals don’t have £43k to spend on a small car. PCP deals won’t be that competitive since residual values on EV’s are falling quicker than a baby grand from the Empire State Building. I’m not just highlighting this car, even a Yaris or Jazz are both coming in at just under £30k! £30k for a supermini, really?? Manufacturers are actually taking the consumer for a ride, hope you like the pun 😉 Beautiful as the Alfa is, a good it is not.
