Dubai: Alfa Romeo Milano is new sporty car that gives off both SUV feelings and a sports car feeling too
The revitalised Italian manufacturer’s new small car Alfa Romeo is making waves in the automotive world with the introduction of The Milano, a vehicle that places a strong emphasis on sportiness. Offering customers a choice between one combustion option and two levels of electric power, including the top-of-the-range Veloce model boasting an impressive 240hp equivalent, The Milano promises exhilarating performance on the road.
Milano Elettrica
In a bold move, Alfa Romeo is also set to release the Milano Elettrica, its first pure EV. Positioned to compete in the burgeoning small EV segment, The Milano Elettrica is expected to challenge rivals such as the Volvo EX30 and the upcoming Cupra Tavascan, bringing a fresh wave of excitement to the electric vehicle market.
Alfa Romeo's Centro Stile in Turin has set a new standard with the Milano, a car designed to captivate both on the road and in appearance. Unlike Volvo's focus on simplicity, Alfa Romeo has spared no effort in crafting a vehicle that promises an intriguing driving experience and striking aesthetics.
Low weight
Boasting a relatively low weight for its class, the Milano offers a spacious cabin and a generously sized boot, reflecting Alfa's commitment to practicality without compromising on style. The dashboard pays homage to the marque's iconic small-car heritage from the 1960s, with twin instrument binnacles reminiscent of classic models like the GT Junior.
In a departure from conventional design, the Milano seamlessly integrates a touch screen into the dashboard, creating a cohesive and streamlined interior aesthetic. This innovative approach reflects Alfa Romeo's dedication to blending tradition with modern technology, setting the Milano apart as a truly unique driving proposition.
Driving dynamics
The driving dynamics of the Milano will be a pivotal factor in its success. In an automotive landscape where scales and weights seem to constantly inflate, the Milano stands out with its compact and agile nature. With dimensions of 4.17m in length and 1.78m in width, it falls on the smaller end of the spectrum, promising nimble handling and maneuverability.
While the projected range of 250 miles is impressive for a small electric car, Alfa Romeo has remained somewhat reserved in divulging details about the performance and capabilities of the ICE version. This cautious approach from Alfa Romeo suggests a deliberate strategy, leaving room for speculation even as electric vehicle acceptance reaches new heights.
This blend of nostalgia and modernity underscores the Milano's unique design, capturing the essence of Alfa Romeo's iconic past while embracing contemporary innovation.
