Alfa Romeo’s hybrid Junior lands in the UK priced £6K less than EV version

Alfa Romeo has unveiled the Junior Ibrida for the UK market, a hybrid twist to its compact SUV lineup, with orders opening later this month. Priced from £27,895, the Ibrida undercuts its electric sibling by £6,000, making it a more wallet-friendly option for those eyeing Italian flair without the full EV commitment. Full pricing is available below.

Under the bonnet, the Ibrida boasts a 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine paired with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. This setup delivers a combined 136 PS, channelled through a six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The integrated 21 kW electric motor allows for short bursts of electric-only driving, ideal for city commutes and tight parking spots. If this setup sounds familiar to you, that’s because it’s used in several other Stellantis products.

Standard features include the signature Leggenda scudetto grille, 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, LED lighting all-around, and gloss black mirror caps. Inside, drivers are treated to Icona seats in a black and blue cloth finish, ambient lighting, a 10.25-inch configurable instrument cluster, and a central touchscreen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety hasn't been skimped on either, with adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and Alfa Romeo Connected Services coming as standard.

For those looking to sprinkle a bit more tech or luxury into their ride, optional packs are available. The Technology Pack adds LED Matrix headlamps, a wireless charging pad, and a suite of parking sensors, while the Premium Pack offers a cargo flex kit, tinted rear windows, a leather steering wheel, and heated, massaging seats.
