2026 Alfa Romeo Junior Sport Speciale Auto FWD

The 2026 Alfa Romeo Junior Sport Speciale is a compact SUV that combines distinctive Italian styling with a practical five-door layout and an electrified petrol powertrain. Finished in Black with an ALCANTARA BLACK LEATHERETTE interior, this new example has travelled just 20 km and is configured for buyers seeking a small SUV with a more individual character than the class norm.

Power comes from a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 21.0 kW electric motor. The system produces 107.0 kW of combined power and drives the front wheels through a six-speed electrified dual-clutch sports automatic transmission. Its 48-volt electrical system and 0.9 kWh lithium-ion battery support the hybrid assistance, while the petrol engine remains the primary source of propulsion. The quoted combined fuel consumption is 4.1L/100km, with the engine designed for premium 95 RON unleaded petrol.

The Junior’s compact dimensions suit urban driving, with a 4,173mm body length and a 10.50-metre turning circle. At the same time, the SUV format provides useful everyday versatility, including five doors, seating for five and a 415-litre maximum boot capacity. The 151mm ground clearance gives it the proportions and driving position expected of a contemporary small SUV, while front-wheel drive keeps the mechanical layout straightforward.

Sport Speciale equipment places an emphasis on comfort and convenience as well as appearance. An electric sunroof, privacy glass and LED headlights add to the cabin and exterior experience, while electric front seats with adjustable lumbar support and massaging functionality provide additional scope for tailoring the driving position. Climate control, heated and power-folding mirrors, proximity key access, remote keyless entry and a hands-free boot are useful details for regular day-to-day use.

The cabin’s technology suite is centred on a digital instrument cluster, digital radio and a six-speaker stereo. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide familiar smartphone connectivity, complemented by wireless device charging, USB ports and a connected smartphone app. Selectable drive modes, paddle shifters and sports pedals give the driver more control over the way the car responds, while rain-sensing wipers and graphical parking assistance reduce the effort involved in routine driving and manoeuvring.

Driver assistance equipment is comprehensive for a vehicle of this size. Adaptive cruise control can help manage speed and following distance, while lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, road-sign recognition and a road-sign adaptive speed limiter support the driver on longer journeys. Blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking add further monitoring around the vehicle. A reversing camera, parking sensors, automatic headlights, high-beam assistance and tyre-pressure monitoring contribute to visibility and awareness in everyday conditions.
