The new Alfa Romeo Milano is the company’s third crossover, and is said to be an indirect replacement for the long-gone MiTo and Giulietta hatchbacks. It’s also the first model from the storied Italian brand to feature pure electric drivetrains. Alfa Romeo plans to go electric only by 2027. The Milano’s styling isn’t a huge shock given it’s been leaked extensively over the past few months, although it is a departure from the recent Alfa Romeo design book.
The mild hybrid Ibrida is driven on electric power alone primarily during parking and at low speeds, but if the conditions are right EV mode can be engaged at speeds up to 150km/h. All together the Ibrida makes a total 101kW. Initial versions of the Ibrida will be front-wheel drive, but there will be a “Q4” all-wheel drive variant offered down the road. The Milano Elettrica marks Alfa Romeo’s entry into the brave new world of electric vehicles.
