Since Tonale is coming in 2022, Alfa Romeo has remained on two models, and the only way to increase the offer is to present a special model, Stelvio GT Junior.
After the Giulia GTA / GTAm and the newer version of the 6C Villa d’Este available for the sedan and Stelvio, the focus is again on the limited SUV model. The inspiration was the GT 1300 Junior model, at least in a spiritual sense.
The Stelvio GT Junior pays tribute to the Alfa coupe (1965-1977). The high-performance SUV is based on the sporty Veloce package. It is powered by a 2.2-liter engine with 210 hp (155 kW) and 347 lb-ft (470 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The GT Junior is painted in Ocher, which connects it to the GT 1300 Junior. The color was previously used for the unique Giulia Quadrifoglio introduced a few years ago. It rides on 21-inch light alloy wheels. Also, the headrests feature the GT Junior logos, while the dashboard features the silhouette of a classic sports car.
Standard equipment includes electric tailgate, front parking sensors, aluminum blades behind the steering wheel and LED fog lights. The interior has not undergone major changes.
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio GT Junior is 6,550 euros more expensive than the Veloce model, and you can buy it in Italy for 72,750 euros.
The following year, a compact crossover with plug-in hybrid drive arrives from Alfa’s workshop, positioned below the Stelvio model. By 2025, a subcompact Brennero crossover is also expected, possibly as an electric model.
