This is how Alfa Romeo wants to drive in the future with the Milano

The Cuore Sportivo from Alfa Romeo had done badly recently and Alfisti’s hearts were bleeding. Because Giulia and Stelvio have grown gray in respect and the Italians haven’t done anything new since Tonale. And that was almost three years ago now. But now the pulse is increasing and the daughter of sports, the beautiful Stellantis wants to win our hearts once again – with an SUV just below the compact class and it enters the segment in Milano this summer at an estimated price of just under 30,000 euros. The music is loudest in Europe.

The Milano is like almost every Alfa, yes: even the small ones, of heart-breaking beauty. And because the Italians have never had a car like this before, they emphasize their identity especially with their brand logo in full format Scudetto radiator grille loaded with bright LED dots, with large letters or bright Alfa signatures inside .

But basically the 4.17 meter long four-door car with an unusual rear, inspired by the Giulia TZ from the 1960s, is a comparatively normal child from the large Stellantis family and nothing more than a gigolo version of the Opel Mokka , which suddenly seems to compare like cold coffee. Either way, the technology is largely the same and the Milano is based on the same modular system that Stellantis uses for all its small cars from the Corsa to the Peugeot 2008 to the Jeep Avenger.

For Italians, however, this is the dawn of the electric age. Because with the new small hybrids with a lean 1.2-liter cylinder with 136 hp and a relatively large battery for at least a few meters of electric travel, the Milano is the first Alfa with an estimated price starting at around 40,000 euros. The battery instead of the petrol tank – but only at the beginning with the standard 156 hp and 54 kWh from Corsa & Co, which they calculated a standard range of 410 km in Milan.

But they know better that you don’t have to get a real Alfisit with such lean engines – and so they have already announced a follow-up: That’s why in the medium term there will not only be a hybrid with an all-wheel drive, but. The E generation will also have a sports version in which the 240 hp electric machine will be made into an electric pacemaker. Then soon the Cuore Sportivo will strike again to the right.
