The Alfa Romeo Junior currently opens the Italian brand’s lineup, and a new deal for the low-volume light SUV has made it better value than before.
For vehicles ordered and delivered before September 30, 2026, or while stocks last, the Junior Ibrida can be had for $49,990 drive-away with standard premium paint and a sunroof.
The base Junior Ibrida is typically priced at $46,990 before on-road costs, with drive-away pricing of $51,261 based on a New South Wales postcode. Premium paint and a sunroof ordinarily cost an additional $1990.
This offer applies to ‘Series 0’ vehicles, or the first stock of the Junior to arrive here when the city-focused SUV was launched here in 2025. It’s not available in conjunction with any other offers, nor is it available to government or rental buyers.
Newer Ibrida Series 1 stock is being offered for $54,990 drive-away with the same inclusions and terms and conditions. This minor running update saw the move from a tyre repair kit to a space-saver spare, and the deletion of paddle shifters.
The front-wheel drive Junior Ibrida features a turbocharged 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with a 48V mild-hybrid system (hence the name), with total system outputs of 107kW and 230Nm. It has a six-speed electrified dual-clutch automatic transmission and a 0.42kWh lithium-ion battery.
There’s also an electric version, the Elettrica, which features a front-mounted 115kW/260Nm electric motor and a 51kWh (net) battery offering 407km of WLTP range.
Last year, Alfa Romeo delivered 94 Juniors in Australia, putting it narrowly behind the related Jeep Avenger despite offering both mild-hybrid and electric powertrains.
So far this year, the Junior has nudged ahead with 69 examples reaching Australian buyers to the end of June, against 43 Avengers.
The Junior and Avenger are built in Tychy, Poland alongside the Fiat 600 that isn’t sold here, and all share the same platform.
Alfa Romeo’s cheapest model is only narrowly its best seller, with just one unit separating it from the Giulia sedan so far this year.
The Italian brand’s deliveries are down 26.2 per cent so far this year, with the Giulia, Stelvio and Tonale all posting double-digit declines. However, while new-generation Giulia and Stelvio models have been delayed, a refreshed Tonale has reached local showrooms.
