Alfa Milano, Jeep Avenger, Fiat 600 (and the new Y): what’s the difference

Call it, if you want, the “rule of 3”. Or rather, the “rule of 3+1”, given that a car built elsewhere also belongs to a happy company, but still with the same “raw materials”. the first time in the company Alfa Romeo Milannow each of the four brands are integrated into the Stellantis Group fromThe former FCA group he owns his very personal electric car in his wallet. Very personal in name, style, in the discipline in which they are champions, Alfa Milan, Jeep Avenger, Fiat 600 e Lancia Ypsilon. Very less personal from an industrial point of view, since they are all born on the same platformtechnical name Small STLA (derived from the CMP platform, former PSA Group), as well as at the same production site, the Tychy plant in Poland (except for the Ypsilon, which moved to Spain, in Zaragoza, and which compared to the other three is not a B-SUV, but the most common vehicle of segment B). In the result of Show it Of “alpha child”we want to venture compare the first desk? Come on, nothing big (for now…). Read and browse art gallery for comparison also on the image level (which always helps).

Alfa Romeo Milano, what is different from its “sister”?

All four of the ”magnificent four” therefore register for the model championship part Bso the cars come out the right size for the city instead of daily long-distance use, a for individual or couple use, but also for families and together (as long as it will not be a habit, given that in the fifth you risk an argument). Alfa Romeo Milan It’s long 4 and 17 meterslike new Fiat 600. So it’s all 9 cm and more Jeep Avengerboth new Lancia Ypsilonboth stopped 4 and 08 meters. The Milano is 1.78 meters wide, again like the Fiat 600: it is therefore wider than the Avenger (1.72 meters) and the Ypsilon (1.76 meters). Finally, in length, the Milano measures 1.50 meters and is the shortest of the three SUVs, since the 600 and the Avenger reach 1.53 meters, it is clearly more than the company (1.46 meters).

Milan height 4.17 meters

Design is a material that each expresses the personal language and sense of belonging of its brand. Milano it reinterprets the classic Trilobo Alfa in a natural way, but he recognizes himself as a member of the Alpha clan at first glance: triple front and rear lights, side view, toned rear. In short, the landscape effect is very different from that offered by Jeep Avengerthat has more ”boxy”, perpendicular and muscular shapesall from Fiat 600more happy and soft, and a (thin) layer of fat covering the body’s function. Lancia sets itself apart Ypsilonwhich is a sedan and which it combines elegance with references to the pastwithout leaving the image of a sports car planted firmly on the ground.

The new Alfa scudetto is… a surprise

Having said that the starting project is shared (that economy of scale of which the Volkswagen Group is another example) everyone interprets the interior in their own way, also showing the values ​​of the reference brand in the interior. One detail immediately catches the eye: Milano he is the only one to choose a dashboard-mounted infotainment display half-length, rather than a floating, full-length solution. Design aside, this (in broad terms) requires you to lower your eyes further to read the information on the screen. Apparently, the central tunnel in Milan seems to be more generous for small things, the most advanced part is occupied by the ignition, transmission and steering column. In any case, the smartphone holder under the display and the discreet well in front of the armrest remain: the Milano is finally the most “athletic” of the bunch, if the priority is comfort, there is the Fiat 600.

Milan, the interior scent of Alfa Romeo

MINI-CARGO All adopt a digital instrument panel as standard: Milan’s cockpit-shaped ‘telescope’ He certainly stands out as the most different of them all. Rear passenger space is fine, and what about the boot? For Milanoability to 400 liters regardless of the engine, it is an excellent value (Fiat 600 stands on 385 litersJeep Avenger a 380 literstail light Ypsilon con 340 liters)

On the surface, the lowest denominator of total electrical impulse was mentioned. In no case, however, electric motorization is the only one available: in fact, they all include a traditional (and economical, see price) variant fuel or electrical component. If anything, the Alfa Romeo Milano is the only one of the four whose orders for the non-electric version open at the same time as the electric version.

The aforementioned ”telescope” panel

BATTERY Shared powertrain (battery from 54 kWh and about 400 km of freedom together), but individual adaptations for each. In more detail: Milan EV all the configuration is there 156 CV (Electricity), all in steps from 240 CV (Fast Electric), when it is Avenger it is new 600 they only suggest the ability to 156 CV. Option two will also affect Lancia in the future Ypsilon: today only with da engine 156 CVtomorrow also in Ypsilon format HF and 240 CV.

Electric Milan or Hybrid Milan

PETROL As with its younger siblings, the internal combustion version of the Alfa Romeo Milano takes its cues from the classic. 3 cylinder 1.2 liter turbo petrol. Like the Fiat 600, Jeep Avenger e Lancia Ypsilonturbo 1.2 is associated with technology 48 volt mini hybrid and electric gearbox double clutch a 6 reportshowever under the hood of Hybrid Milan the power of is created 136 CV, instead of 101 HP. Alfa Romeo Milan Hebrew Q4 adds a rear mini-electric motor, giving shape to the type “smooth” all-wheel drive: the system shows in the Alpha button what is happening Jeep Avenger 4x, soon to be introduced. Unlike the Avengers, however, the 1.2 petrol engine is missing clean and manual gearbox.

Strength aside, Alfa Romeo Milan it is definitely an urban recession more games the fourth and one which for him driving dynamics prepared more carefully (direct operation in the category, claims Biscione). Just like Jeep Avenger it targets a more sensitive audience with the personality of off road driving (Selec Terrain), as long as it is reasonably accessible (there is no ”real” four-wheel drive). And how Fiat 600 transports to this day, so with enough space on board, a high ride and good technology, the concept of silly little car. And the necessary variations of the body, Lancia Ypsilon and finally more elegant and more sophisticated of the quartet, with the aim of winning, along with the female pelvis, also ”boys”. Each one has its own personality, each one aims at its own target. But each, at the same time, winks at the other’s target.
