Alfa Romeo Junior MY26: Orders Open and New Packages Revealed

Alfa Romeo launches orders for Junior MY26, adding Sprint and Ti trims, Sport and Techno packs, and the broadest powertrain range in the premium compact segment.

Alfa Romeo has officially opened orders for the Junior MY26, a model that has already surpassed 50,000 orders worldwide, underscoring its strong appeal and growing importance in the premium compact segment.

The highlight of this model year is a modular approach that lets customers configure their car with far more flexibility. The Junior now comes in Sprint and Ti trims, both of which can be enhanced with Sport and Techno packages. Sprint focuses on everyday style and comfort, offering a high-gloss black body kit, tinted windows, RGB interior lighting and navigation with traffic sign recognition. Ti caters to those seeking refinement with heated, electrically adjustable seats, a leather steering wheel and the Cargo Flex Kit for maximum trunk versatility.

The Sport Pack amplifies the car’s dynamic spirit with Sabelt Alcantara seats, aluminum pedals, red styling accents and paddle shifters for hybrid versions. The Techno Pack bundles Alfa Romeo’s most advanced technology, including Matrix LED headlights, Level 2 driver assistance systems, a 180° rear-view camera with 360° parking sensors, hands-free power tailgate and convenience features like wireless smartphone charging and keyless entry.

Junior MY26 continues to offer the broadest range of powertrains in the premium segment: a fully electric version, front-wheel-drive hybrid and Q4 all-wheel-drive hybrid. The Q4 is now also available with the Sprint trim, making all-wheel-drive more accessible. German sources confirm that the Q4 uses a 48-volt architecture, delivers a combined 145 PS, and pairs a 1.2-liter engine with an electric motor on the rear axle. The Veloce Elettrica achieves 0–100 km/h in 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 200 km/h, putting it among the quickest in its class.

Design updates include the addition of new 18-inch Aero wheels, alongside Petali and Fori designs, while the striking 20-inch Venti wheels remain exclusive to the Veloce Elettrica. This expanded wheel range reinforces the model’s versatility and its ability to match different styles.

Official pricing for MY26 has not yet been released, though German media previously listed starting prices around €29,500 for the hybrid and €39,500 for the electric version. It is expected that the new range will stay competitive against rivals like BMW X1, Audi Q3 and Mercedes GLA, offering more customization options and a rich technology package.

With orders now open, Alfa Romeo is clearly aiming to strengthen its position in Europe and beyond. Deliveries are expected to begin in early 2026, and demand for the electric versions is likely to rise in markets offering purchase incentives. MY26 reaffirms the brand’s strategy to blend Italian design, cutting-edge technology and driving pleasure while reaching a wider audience.
