The Junior Q4 will also make its international debut to complete the widest range in the segment. Available in the Ibrida version, which brings the sporty spirit of Alfa Romeo to the style of everyday urban life. The new version features two electric motors – one located on the front axle, integrated into the six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission; the second mounted on the rear axle, providing traction to all four wheels, but without a physical connection between the front and rear axles. This configuration allows for optimal torque distribution and ensures excellent traction in all driving conditions.
Definitely not to be missed on the stand is the "Italian Premiere", the Alfa Romeo Junior 280 Veloce, the highest-performance version that embodies the brand's sporting attitude in a compact car. It is built on the usual Alfa Romeo formula, combining its renowned excellence through best-in-class driving dynamics, segment-leading technological and engine solutions with an extremely distinctive design, unmistakably the work of Alfa Romeo Centro Stile.
The new 33 Stradale, a true work of art in motion, the result of a perfect combination of beauty and technology, is also expected to be admired. Produced in just 33 exclusive units, using a unique artisanal process, the new two-seater coupé pays homage to its 1967 predecessor – a car considered by many to be one of the most beautiful of all time – and carries the brand of noble Italian sporting spirit from 1910 into the era of efficient sports cars. The first of the 33 units was delivered a few weeks ago.
World premiere of the new INTENS special series
Alfa Romeo presents the new INTENSA special series, available across the entire range and featuring exclusive design interventions that highlight the brand's identity in a particularly strong and profound way. Available for the Giulia, Stelvio, Tonale and Junior models, the new INTENSA special series offers a new, distinctive perspective for all the models in the range, strongly expressing through the details the brand's attitude, its historical tradition and its vision.
Alfa Romeo's history is marked by technical innovation, sporting spirit and national identity. From its earliest victories in motor racing to today's cutting-edge technologies, the focus has always been on the intensity of research and development. Just as driving an Alfa Romeo is an intense experience, thanks to the combination of driving dynamics, agility and human-machine interaction. The result is a driving pleasure that few other brands can match. The brand's extensive historical heritage, which dates back to 1910, is
filled with moments that can be described as intense – from economic and industrial challenges to great sporting victories. Each phase of its evolution has contributed to building a strong and passionate identity, embodying Italian culture and lifestyle. Intensity is a common thread that runs through the entire history of Alfa Romeo, making it a unique and loved brand worldwide.
The spirit of this special series is perfectly captured in the famous words of Orazio Satta Puliga, Alfa Romeo's technical manager at the end of the Second World War: "Alfa Romeo is not just a car factory - its cars are more than conventionally built models. It is a kind of illness, an enthusiasm for the means of transport. It is a way of life, a very special way of creating a motor vehicle. Something that resists definitions. Its components are like those irrational traits of the human spirit that cannot be explained in logical terminology." This quote captures the very essence of the Alfa Romeo brand and is fully reflected in the new INTENSA special series, where every detail has been designed to embody this philosophy and offer a unique and unforgettable experience, paying homage to a legendary history that now looks to the future of mobility.
The Tonale INTENSA features 20” bi-tone alloy wheels with a new design, a light gold finish and a dark grey Dark Miron paint. The exterior has a distinctly sporty look, featuring glossy black painted trim elements and exhaust tips with matte Dark Miron accents, exclusive black brake calipers with Alfa Romeo’s signature in light gold and a double chrome exhaust tip (available on the Plug-in Hybrid Q4 version). Three colours are available – Rosso Alfa, Verde Montreal and Nero Alfa. The interior offers a refined colour contrast and is adorned with new black Alcantara seats with contrasting stitching, the Alfa Romeo logo embroidered on the front headrests in light brown and contrasting grey stitching exclusive to the Intensa version.

World premiere of Junior Q4
At the Brussels Motor Show, Alfa Romeo is proud to present the new Alfa Romeo Junior Ibrida Q4, a car that redefines the standards of the Premium B-SUV segment to offer the most complete range on the market. Its customers will have complete freedom to choose between the 100% electric versions with 280 or 156 hp and the two hybrid versions with 136 hp, now also with all-wheel drive.
Equipped with a 48V hybrid system combining a 1.2-litre turbocharged engine with 136 hp and two 21 kW electric motors, the Junior Q4 is designed to offer safe and highly efficient driving in all conditions, especially in poor traction. Four-wheel drive is an essential factor for a premium brand like Alfa Romeo and the Q4 has a smart way of providing it, using Power Looping Technology to ensure it works even when the battery is depleted.
The Junior Q4 hybrid system features two electric motors – one located on the front axle, integrated into the six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission; the second mounted on the rear axle, providing traction without a physical connection between the two axles. This configuration allows for optimal torque distribution and ensures excellent traction in all driving conditions. The rear motor can provide torque of up to 1900 Nm to the rear wheels, allowing for maximum traction and stability. This not only guarantees high performance, but also ensures comfortable and safe driving in any situation, making the Junior Q4 ideal for tackling even the most difficult roads and adverse weather conditions.
The new Junior Ibrida Q4 is also perfect for a diverse clientele – from winter and summer sports enthusiasts to off-road enthusiasts. The vehicle has been designed to meet the needs of those who want maximum versatility, so that they can tackle both urban routes with agility and detours on less convenient terrain in complete safety. With its versatility and performance, the Junior Q4 is a natural choice for those looking for a car that can adapt to any driving need.
Alfa Romeo's DNA selector allows the driver to adapt the car's performance to different driving needs - Dynamic mode offers sporty driving with maximum power, while Natural mode is ideal for everyday use. The "Q4" mode is designed for low-grip conditions, always ensuring maximum safety and control. The Advanced Efficiency mode optimises fuel consumption and offers a smooth ride, ideal for maximising energy efficiency.
The Junior Ibrida Q4 is equipped with an independent MultiLink rear suspension, designed to provide maximum comfort in everyday driving and improve traction in all road conditions. This advanced suspension system provides increased ability to absorb unevenness in the ground, providing superior comfort for all passengers and excellent handling. The Q4 system is automatically activated based on traction conditions and road gradient, ensuring that all-wheel drive is always available through Power Looping technology, so that the car maintains all-wheel drive even when the battery is discharged.
