2025 Alfa Romeo Milano revealed: Australia confirmed for compact SUV

If you don't need petrol range or the greater interior space, you might want to skip the only recently launched Alfa Romeo Tonale in favour of the compact new Milano, unveiled today.

The very closely related Jeep Avenger will make its Australian debut in the fourth quarter of 2024, priced from $53,990 – learn more about that one at the story linked below.

But, with Alfa now a part of the wealthy Stellantis family, the Milano will likely be better served at the table.

To that end, Alfa Romeo promises “best-in-class driving dynamics”. Class rivals are limited in number, in terms of likely price, but the larger Volvo EX30 will be among them – along with the mechanically (and historically) related Abarth 600e, for a bit of sibling rivalry.

Both variants use a 400V electric system and a 54kWh battery pack.

The electric Alfa Romeo Milano claims a driving range of up to 410 kilometres on the combined WLTP test cycle, but Alfa reckons those sticking to urban environments will see as good as 590 kilometres.

There’s a petrol-powered ‘Ibrida’ version of the Milano, too, matching a 100kW 1.2-litre turbo petrol three-cylinder engine with a 21kW electric motor and a six-speed dual-clutch auto.

With the Jeep Avenger priced from just under $54K and the Abarth 500e priced from a smidge under $59K, the more premium Alfa Romeo Milano’s Australian pricing could easily start in that high $50,000 to low $60,000 window.

Stellantis hasn’t said if we’ll get the petrol version of the Milano, but as we’re only getting the electric Avenger, it would seem unlikely – especially with Alfa Romeo phasing petrol out of its global line-up by 2027.
