The Alfa Romeo Junior is a compact passenger car nameplate used by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo for select entry-level or smaller models within its lineup. Historically, the “Junior” designation was applied to versions of models such as the Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior in the 1960s, which offered smaller engine options while retaining the brand’s sporty character and distinctive styling.
In modern usage, the name has been revived for compact crossover or small vehicle segments, depending on market strategy and generation. These vehicles are designed to combine Alfa Romeo’s characteristic design language—featuring sculpted bodywork and a prominent front grille—with contemporary platforms and technology.
The Junior designation typically signifies a model positioned toward the lower end of the brand’s size or price range, aimed at drivers seeking a compact vehicle with performance-oriented styling. It reflects Alfa Romeo’s long-standing focus on dynamic driving experience and Italian automotive design within a smaller format.
