Alfa Romeo has introduced the new MILANO compact, now available with a fully electric powertrain. It’s sporty, compact, and unmistakably Italian. Pre-orders for the MILANO will begin in early summer, providing a fresh entry point into the Alfa Romeo world for Alfisti and fans eagerly anticipating the brand’s return to this segment. This compact car stands out as the sportiest and most thrilling option in its class, appealing to Giulietta and Mito enthusiasts while also attracting a new wave of Alfisti followers.
The Alfa Romeo MILANO exemplifies the perfect fusion of functional beauty and a rich heritage, embodying the essence of Italian automotive style. Its compact dimensions of 4.17 m in length, 1.78 m in width, and 1.5 m in height encapsulate the original and contemporary design crafted by Alfa Romeo Centro Stile.
MILANO showcases a harmonious balance of proportions, clean lines, and meticulous attention to surface quality. Departing from the prevailing trend of cold rationality, Alfa Romeo designers have meticulously sculpted the ‘skin’ of the vehicle with artisanal precision, resulting in a dynamic and captivating design that exudes elegance. Traditional stylistic elements such as minimal overhangs, muscular wheel arches, and the iconic ‘kamm tail’ pay homage to Alfa Romeo’s legendary heritage, particularly the Giulia TZ. Despite its seemingly simple Italian style, the creation of Alfa Romeo MILANO involves a highly intricate and sophisticated design process.
The vehicle’s strong identity is defined by a select few features, including the iconic scudetto shield, available in Leggenda and Progresso variants, which is widely recognized as a symbol of excellence in the automotive realm. The bold front end, featuring 3+3 adaptive Full LED Matrix headlights, adds to MILANO’s commanding presence. Alfa Romeo’s design philosophy is characterized by the meticulous quality of its surfaces, which play with light to create a visually striking and cohesive aesthetic.
The car’s interior exudes a sense of pure sportiness, with meticulous attention to detail, the use of premium materials, and the strategic placement of controls within easy reach of the driver. The instrument panel, designed with the iconic ‘Cannocchiale’ style, establishes a direct visual connection and entices the driver to grasp the steering wheel, ignite the engine, and embark on an unparalleled driving experience.
Positioned in the center of the cluster, a remarkable feature is the fully digital 10.25-inch TFT screen, providing access to the car’s data and driving technology settings. In the middle of the dashboard, oriented towards the driver, a 10.25-inch touchscreen system has been developed with intuitive widgets and graphic components, allowing for effortless interaction with all the car’s features. These features can be easily customized through a simple drag and drop function, enabling each user to create their own personalized homepage, where each car feature functions as an individual app. Adding to the interior’s allure, the air conditioning vents are designed in the shape of a quadrifoglio (four-leaf clover), the quintessential symbol of Alfa Romeo’s sportiness. To captivate and welcome the driver, optional Sabelt sports seats are available, boasting a snug backrest that combines exceptional mechanical strength, ergonomic perfection, and structural lightness.
Available in hybrid and electric versions, MILANO maintains its signature Alfa Romeo aesthetic and features, emphasizing its 100% Alfa Romeo identity. The ELETTRICA variant of MILANO comes with two fully electric powertrains, offering 156 hp and a range of up to 250 miles, while the sportier VELOCE model delivers 240 hp, embodying the essence of Alfa Romeo’s sporting DNA. The design of MILANO evolves with distinctive elements that establish an immediate emotional connection, reflecting the brand’s commitment to providing a driving experience that goes beyond mere transportation, fostering a genuine emotional bond with its drivers.
