The 2026 Alfa Romeo Junior

The Alfa Romeo Junior (Type 966) is a subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) produced by the Italian company Alfa Romeo since 2024. At its introduction, it is the smallest Alfa Romeo currently on sale.

During its introduction, the Junior was launched as the Alfa Romeo Milano. Following a complaint from the Italian government that claimed it is illegal to sell "Italian-sounding" products that were not produced in Italy, Alfa Romeo renamed the vehicle to Junior. The nameplate was previously used by the brand for entry models of the 105- and 115-series Giulia coupes as well as Zagato-bodied Giulias in the 1960s and 1970s. The previous name, Milano was the US-market name for the Alfa Romeo 75 saloon, and a reference to Alfa Romeo's hometown, Milan.
