Alfa’s first ever series production electric SUV

ALFA ROMEO has unveiled the Milano as its latest addition to the SUV lineup and its first-ever seriesproduction electric car.

Named after the brand’s hometown, the Milano is an urbanfocused crossover that aims to capture the essence of the Giulietta and Mito hatchbacks while offering premium appeal and engaging driving dynamics to attract a new generation of Alfisti.

Jean-Philippe Imparato, Alfa Romeo boss, stated that the Milano is designed to transition the brand “from exclusive to inclusive,” emphasising its position alongside the ultra-exclusive 33 Stradale.

He noted, “Alfa is the only brand that is able to sell a car at €2 million (RM10m) and €30,000 (RM153,059).”

With dimensions of 4170mm length, 1780mm width, and 1500mm height, the Milano incorporates bold new design elements while paying homage to Alfa’s heritage.

Its distinctive front-end grille features stylised elements from the brand’s logo in electric versions.

For reference, the smart #1 measures 4270mm in length, 1636mm in height, and 1822mm in width.

The Milano is available with either electric or mild-hybrid petrol power, sharing a platform with models like the Citroen C4, Fiat 600, Jeep Avenger, and Peugeot 2008.

The Milano Ibrida combines a 1.2litre three-cylinder petrol engine with a 48V starter-generator and a 28bhp electric motor for 134bhp and the option of short-distance EV driving.

Alfa emphasises the Milano’s driving dynamics, boasting optimal mass distribution and best-in-class handling tuned by the same team responsible for the Giulia GTA supersaloon.

The top-tier Veloce variant offers the most driver-focused experience with a 237bhp motor, Torsen limitedslip differential, and agile chassis upgrades.

In the middle of the dashboard and oriented towards the driver, a 10.25-inch touchscreen system was developed to work with widgets and graphic components designed for intuitive interaction with all the features.

Every user can create their own homepage, where each of the car’s features is an app in itself.

The Milano is available for order in Italy and will launch in 28 markets over the next six months.
