SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 1, 2025 - Bold performance meets smart efficiency in Alfa Romeo’s latest hybrid innovation
Alfa Romeo has officially unveiled the full details of its newest all-wheel drive marvel—the Junior Ibrida Q4. As the final chapter in the international media drive concludes, consumers around the globe now have access to the most dynamic and versatile version of the Junior yet: a hybrid that blends power, precision, and premium comfort with remarkably low fuel consumption and emissions below 120g.
Pioneering Q4 hybrid technology: efficient, powerful, and always in control
At the core of the Junior Ibrida Q4 lies an innovative 48-V hybrid system. It combines a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine with two electric motors—one at the front and one at the rear—for a combined output of 145 hp. This unique configuration operates without a physical connection between axles, using Alfa Romeo’s proprietary Power Looping Technology to deliver power intelligently and consistently, even when the battery is low.
“The all-wheel drive is functional to the DNA and is always active thanks to Power Looping Technology.”
This system ensures that the Junior Ibrida Q4 operates efficiently without sacrificing safety or traction. The DNA selector offers multiple driving modes, including “Dynamic,” “Natural,” “Advanced Efficiency,” and “Q4,” allowing the car to adapt seamlessly to varying road conditions and driver preferences.
Unmatched versatility and traction with SMART Q4
The new Q4 configuration excels in all-weather and low-grip conditions. At lower speeds and during start-up, the system ensures all-wheel drive is fully active, maximizing grip. Once over 30 km/h, SMART Q4 mode takes over, enabling faster rear-axle engagement when needed—up to 90 km/h. This results in superior responsiveness and stability in every scenario.
“In ‘Dynamic’ driving mode, Q4 all-wheel drive optimizes performance to ensure maximum traction and responsiveness.”
The seamless transition between front-wheel and all-wheel drive enhances agility and improves acceleration, all while maintaining top-tier energy efficiency.
Enhanced cornering and driving dynamics
Q4 all-wheel drive isn't just about grip—it's about precision. Thanks to the updated torque distribution and the MultiLink rear suspension debuting on this platform, the Junior Ibrida Q4 reduces understeer by 30%. This means faster, smoother, and more confident cornering, with superior control in any drive mode.
“The cornering speed is a significant improvement on the FWD hybrid version, and is always responsive and accurate.”
This makes the Junior Ibrida Q4 not only fun to drive but also a safer option for drivers who demand more from their vehicle—whether cruising city streets or navigating winding mountain roads.
Leading the way in efficiency and comfort
Alfa Romeo’s Q4 hybrid solution also sets a new benchmark in emissions and fuel efficiency. Without a mechanical link between the axles, the vehicle maintains impressively low consumption. The independent MultiLink rear suspension improves ride comfort across all terrains, ensuring every journey is smooth and enjoyable.
Striking design with premium features throughout
Aesthetically, the Junior Ibrida Q4 exudes Italian craftsmanship. The design includes the legendary “Leggenda” badge, sleek Full LED headlights, and exclusive 18” “Petali” alloy wheels. Inside, the cabin offers an upscale experience with features like Spiga heated seats, a leather steering wheel, and ambient 8-color lighting. Drivers also benefit from advanced tech such as a 10.25” infotainment system with navigation, a 180° rearview camera, and level 2 autonomous driving capabilities.
Catering to diverse lifestyles and driving needs
With this launch, Alfa Romeo completes the Junior lineup—now the most comprehensive in the compact premium segment. Whether you're a winter sports lover, a city commuter, or a business fleet operator, the Junior Ibrida Q4 delivers unmatched versatility.
“The Junior Ibrida Q4 is therefore a natural choice for those looking for a car that can adapt to every driving need or professional task.”
Customers now have the freedom to choose between Full-Electric for urban mobility or Hybrid for longer journeys, with model options like the sporty Junior, the performance-driven Junior Veloce, and now the safe, capable Junior Ibrida Q4.
