Alfa Romeo re-enters the small SUV sector with new Milano
Buyers will be offered choice of pure-electric and petrol models
IT’S almost six years since Alfa Romeo axed the Mito – but the iconic Italian brand is now returning to the small-car market with this new SUV, called Milano.
It’s the company’s twist on the formula already used by Stellantis stablemates Opel/Vauxhall (Mokka), Fiat (600), Peugeot (2008) and Jeep (Avenger). It uses the group’s e-CMP2 modular architecture and will be offered with a choice of two electric-motor versions or a 48-volt petrol hybrid.
The Milano is actually one of the bigger e-CMP2 creations; atlights, with a darker intake lower in the bumper and Alfa’s ‘shield grille’ set in textured plastic beneath a badge mounted on the leading edge of the bonnet.
