The Alfa Romeo Junior Ibrida mild-hybrid is comfortable and competitively priced, but is not as engaging on the road as its all-electric twin.
The Junior Ibrida is a small mild-hybrid SUV that arrived in the UK in early 2025, built on the same foundations as the Jeep Avenger and the Citroën C4.
It is powered by the same 1.2-litre petrol mild-hybrid engine as found elsewhere in the Stellantis crop of small SUVs.
The Parkers team argues that the Junior Ibrida stands out due to its “slick” styling and its driving experience, which is “far better than the Jeep Avenger and Fiat 600” with a well-judged balance between ride and handling.
An all-electric version, called the Junior Elettrica, arrived a bit earlier.
