Alfa Junior will be called Mito





The Mito will be Alfa Romeo’s smallest production car since the Alfasud, measuring slightly smaller in length than the popular Alfa 33 and Alfa 145 models. The Mito will share the same platform as the Fiat Grande Punto although with reworked suspension. Prices in Italy will start at around €15,000 including taxes for the entry-level 95bhp 1.4 petrol model with 5-speed transmission.

The Mito will also be offered with a 1.4 Multiair engine with 105bhp, accompanied with a 6-speed transmission, as well as the turbocharged 1.4 JTB (Multiair with turbocharger) offered in outputs between 135 and 165 bhp. The range-topping model, which could use the GTA badge, will most likely be fitted with a 1.8 Turbo engine producing 230bhp. There will also be a diesel offered, fitted with the excellent new 1.6 JTDM 120bhp unit.

The Alfa Romeo Junior(Mito) is currently in its final testing stages and a dealer presentation will be held 18th-19th March where the final car will be presented.
