Sporty at heart, compact in size and Italian at first glance. The wait is now over. Alfa Romeo chose the historic headquarters of the Automobile Club Milano to present the new MILANO to the international press. And this, with a double objective: on the one hand, to make known the new language of Alfa Romeo; on the other hand, to confirm the unwavering and precious link with Milan, the city where the brand was born in 1910, symbol of the perfect balance between innovation and tradition, founding characteristics that link Alfa Romeo to its city of origin.

MILANO can be ordered now in its “SPECIAL” launch version and represents the new gateway to the Alfa Romeo world for all those, Alfists and others, who have been waiting for the return of the brand to the B segment. To play a leading role, Alfa Romeo offers a compact car, the sportiest and most stimulating to drive in its category, the only one capable of interacting with Giulietta and Mito enthusiasts, and attracting a new generation of ‘Alfisti’.

MILANO is a universal car that offers everyone the opportunity to access a distinctive and attractive vehicle. Its mission is to conquer a new generation, by becoming the ambassador of a new stylistic language. The aptitude for sportiness, which has driven Alfa Romeo since 1910, remains unwavering. Sportiness is designed as a driving experience that can be enjoyed every day.

In a segment populated by sports versions derived from general models, MILANO stands out from the competition for its intrinsic sportiness and as a unique and trendy object, combining an attractive style with the most advanced technology in terms of comfort, connectivity and dynamics of conduct. It is also one of the only cars in its category to offer a dual offer, hybrid and electric, without distinctions in terms of aesthetics or equipment, because the only thing that matters is the fact that it is 100% Alfa Romeo.

MILANO is available in “IBRIDA” configuration, which for the first time in the segment, also offers a Q4 all-wheel drive variant with automated rear axle management. MILANO is also available in “ELETTRICA” configuration, in two power variants with 156 hp. and a range of up to 410 km, as well as a sportier 240 hp VELOCE version, the ultimate expression of Alfa Romeo’s sporting DNA. Its design is muscular with distinctive features allowing it to create an immediate emotional connection. Because an Alfa Romeo has always been intended for those for whom a car is not just a useful means of transport, but rather a true symbiosis, an agreement guided by authentic emotions.

Intended to profoundly change the concept of sportiness in the most important segment in Europe, the new Alfa Romeo Milano was born from the desire to produce a compact car just over 4 meters long, with a sporting spirit. unique and contemporary, which goes beyond just performance and moves towards a positioning definitively specific to Alfa Romeo. This is of course a bold and ambitious goal, which can only be achieved by a brand with more than a century of sporting history, forged on the circuits and on the roads of everyday life. In summary, Milano is a kind of “manual” for an Italian brand dedicated to stimulating the sensory faculties, because the car is and remains a fascinating object that must be felt with passion and commitment.

EXTERIOR DESIGN

The Alfa Romeo Centro Stile redefines the canons of design in the B segment.

An Alfa Romeo is born from the perfect balance between functional beauty and an unrivaled heritage that makes it the highest expression of Italian style in the automobile sector. The new MILANO is certainly no exception, as its compact dimensions – 4.17 meters long, 1.78 meters wide and 1.5 meters high – express the singularity of the made-in-Italy design of the Centro Stile Alfa Romeo . Original and modern, typical of the brand, it is reflected in the balance of proportions, the purity of the lines and the attention paid to the quality of the surfaces. It is the “skin” that the Alfa Romeo stylists have modeled with refined art on the mechanical parts, completely breaking with the concepts of cold rationality in vogue in the category, to give life to a sinuous and seductive design that captures attention at first glance. This creates a real emotional bond between the driver and the car, to the point of arousing the desire to touch it. The proportions are expressed by stylistic elements inherited from tradition, such as the contained overhangs, muscular wheel arches and the iconic coda trunca, reminiscent of the legendary Giulia TZ. The “simplicity” of Italian styling, and of Alfa Romeo in particular, hides one of the most complex creative processes in the industry: designing a car. Alfa Romeo MILANO has a strong identity, made up of several strong attributes, like the legendary scudetto, in the Leggenda and Progresso variants, one of the most famous and recognizable signatures in the automotive world. The determined look of the front end, with the “3+3” headlights and the Full LED Matrix adaptive headlight units, helps to reinforce the car’s personality. Finally, the Alfa Romeo style is characterized by the quality of the surfaces, which create rich and harmonious reflections thanks to strong volumetric contrasts.

INTERIOR DESIGN

“Driver oriented” for an authentic and immersive driving experience.

The same sporting spirit is found inside the car, where we notice the attention paid to every detail, the use of the finest materials and the position of the controls within easy reach of the driver, as evidenced by the compact steering wheel suitable for all driving styles and above all the iconic “cannocchiale” instrument cluster, which creates that direct visual connection inviting you to take the wheel in hand, start the engine and enjoy a driving experience unique. In the center of the dashboard and facing the driver, a 10.25-inch touchscreen system has been developed to work with widgets, graphic components designed for intuitive interaction with all of the car’s features, and which can be personalized with a simple and quick drag and drop. Each user can thus create their own home page, where each functionality becomes an application in its own right. The air conditioning nozzles in the shape of a quadrifoglio (four-leaf clover), symbol of Alfa Romeo sportiness par excellence, further embellish the interior. Finally, to catch the eye and welcome the driver, the Sabelt sports seats are characterized by an enveloping backrest combining high mechanical resistance, perfect ergonomics and structural lightness.

COMFORT

MILANO at the top of its category. The most spacious trunk in the segment.

Choosing MILANO means refusing any compromise between the central driver’s seat and the maximum well-being of all passengers. For Alfa Romeo, talking about comfort means making every travel experience simple, extremely pleasant, organized and safe. This is why, upon entering the passenger compartment, you immediately perceive the attention paid to details, the quality of the coverings and the enveloping sensation of finding yourself in a comfort zone with a sporty character and typically Italian quality. Despite its compact dimensions, MILANO has maximum loading capacity thanks to the largest luggage compartment in its category (BEV), with a capacity of 400 liters, accessible by a simple swipe of the foot (hands-free technology). “). In addition, MILANO is equipped with exclusive elements such as the cable organizer compartment located under the hood, allowing easy storage of the charging cable. To further increase the level of comfort, MILANO offers a range of driver aids, which enable level 2 autonomous driving (longitudinal and lateral control of the vehicle: centering in the lane and maintaining the distance with the vehicle in front), as well as the 180° rear camera which, together with the 360° parking sensors, monitors the surrounding area and enables an innovative and useful semi-autonomous parking system.

Finally, proximity access technology (“Key-Less entry”) is available on MILANO, allowing the customer to open and close their car simply by approaching or exiting the vehicle, without any intervention on their part. .

DRIVING DYNAMICS

MILANO offers best-in-class driving dynamics.

With the lowest weight in the segment and optimal weight distribution, MILANO enters the world of electric cars like a real Alfa Romeo. The driving dynamics team is the one that developed the Giulia GTA at the Balocco Experimental Center (VC), with the clear objective that MILANO has the best handling in its category, thanks to specific technical solutions: the steering is the most direct in the segment (14.6) and extremely precise, with ad hoc calibration to improve the exceptional handling qualities; on the VELOCE version, the configuration is sporty and lowered by 25 mm; the front and rear anti-roll bars have a sportier calibration to guarantee fast and precise turns with complete stability; the braking system includes discs larger than 380 mm at the front with 4-piston monobloc calipers; the Torsen differential provides the best possible traction in all conditions. Additionally, the 20-inch tires are specifically designed for high-performance electric vehicles and provide high levels of grip. The result is a compact car with pure sportiness, unique in its kind from Alfa Romeo. Furthermore, the Alfa D.N.A. system. is available on MILANO: the “Dynamic” mode, thanks to specific steering and accelerator settings, offers maximum performance and driving pleasure. “Natural” mode is designed for daily use thanks to a clever balance between performance and comfort, while “Advanced Efficiency” mode is calibrated to achieve maximum energy efficiency by reducing consumption without affecting driving pleasure. Finally, only on the Q4 hybrid version, a fourth mode, called Q4, is available for low grip conditions.

CONNECTIVITY

EV ROUTING: Connected navigation

Alfa Romeo considers the use of software and connectivity as a way to improve the sensations of the driver, who remains at the center of the system. This is why MILANO is equipped with the most advanced connected technologies to guarantee maximum comfort. EV Routing is an innovative connected system integrated into the navigation system and which manages the customer’s charging needs, automatically and stress-free. The driver simply sets their destination, then the navigation system automatically calculates the necessary stops along the route, with access to more than 600,000 charging points, the most extensive network in Europe. Real-time monitoring of traffic, battery and driving style allows you to rely on EV Routing for a driving experience free of the anxiety of charging.

Alfa Connect Services, the suite of connected services

The new Alfa Romeo MILANO is equipped with Alfa Connect Services, a tool offering advanced on-board connectivity and a range of services for maximum safety and comfort. Thanks to over-the-air (OTA) technology, the car’s maps and software are always updated. Among the various functions that make the on-board experience the best possible, we find “My Navigation”, allowing you to remotely search for destinations and points of interest (PoI), and alert in real time on the traffic, weather and danger zones. Thanks to the My Alfa Connect smartphone application, customers can also interact with the car using “My Remote”, which includes different services, including the possibility of remotely controlling, via a smartphone/smartwatch, certain functions of the car (opening/closing doors, indicators), to locate the vehicle, to control certain parameters (speed and danger zone) and to be alerted if they are not respected. E-Control also allows you to remotely manage the start, stop and programming of charging, or if necessary, to heat or cool the passenger compartment before accessing it.

Another important novelty is the integration of the Hey Alfa virtual assistant, GPT Chat (A.I), which, thanks to voice recognition, allows you to have on board a useful and discreet travel “co-pilot”, capable of inform, advise and satisfy the driver’s requests.
