The innovative Q4 technology debuts in Junior, now with the most complete range in the segment

Everything is ready for the dynamic debut of the Q4 Hybrid Junior, an event that will give international journalists the opportunity to learn the details and test the evolution of Q4 technology, now a feature of the brand's entire offering. This completes the launch of the Junior model, already available in 38 countries. Just a few months after its launch, it has accumulated more than 27,000 orders worldwide, a significant 19% of which are for the full-electric configuration.

Significant figures that are expected to increase with the introduction of the new Ibrida Q4, the all-wheel drive variant with automated rear axle management. After all, all-wheel drive is essential for a premium brand like Alfa Romeo, and the Ibrida Q4 has a clever way of providing it, using Power Looping Technology to ensure it works even with low battery power.

Strengths of the new Ibrida Q4 Junior, which expands the most complete range in the segment

In terms of efficiency, the new model is the benchmark in its category: with no physical connection between the two axles, the weight increase is extremely low, and consequently, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are equally low; the latter are below 120g—values ​​that represent the best balance between performance and emissions in the segment. Furthermore, the Junior Hybrid Q4 debuts the MultiLink independent rear suspension on this platform, ensuring maximum comfort and the highest levels of everyday driving pleasure. Not to mention the exceptional traction performance in all conditions: whether in snow, mud, or on rainy country roads, the vehicle guarantees maximum grip, offering safety and control in any scenario.

With the launch of the new Q4 technology, the Junior range has expanded, becoming the most comprehensive in its segment. Customers can freely choose between Full-Electric engines (ideal for the city) or Hybrid (perfect for long distances) and different versions: Junior Elettrica, for everyday sportiness; Junior Veloce, for those seeking extreme sportiness; and Junior Ibrida Q4, for maximum traction and safety in all conditions, especially in cases of poor grip, without sacrificing weight or efficiency.

Configuration of the Ibrida Q4

The Junior Hybrid Q4 combines a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine with 136 hp and two 21 kW electric motors. The configuration includes an electric motor on the front axle, integrated into the six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and a second motor mounted on the rear axle, ensuring traction without a physical connection between the two axles. This arrangement ensures optimal torque distribution, guaranteeing excellent traction in all driving conditions.

The rear engine is equipped with a gearbox that increases torque to the rear wheels, ensuring maximum traction and stability. Ideal for challenging roads and adverse weather conditions, the new Junior Q4 version is designed for a diverse clientele: from winter and summer sports enthusiasts to all-wheel drive enthusiasts. It also meets the needs of those seeking maximum versatility, allowing them to confidently tackle both urban routes with agility and detours through less comfortable terrain. The Junior Ibrida Q4 is therefore a natural choice for those looking for a car that adapts to any driving need or professional task, making it also ideal for fleets and the corporate sector.

DNA selector and maximum driving comfort with MultiLink rear suspensions

The Alfa Romeo DNA Selector allows the driver to adapt the vehicle's performance to different driving needs: "Dynamic" mode offers a sporty driving experience with maximum power, while "Natural" mode is ideal for everyday use. "Q4" mode is designed for low-grip conditions, always ensuring maximum safety and control. "Advanced Efficiency" mode optimizes fuel consumption and offers a smooth ride, perfect for maximizing energy efficiency. The MultiLink independent rear suspension, debuting for the first time on this platform, is designed to ensure maximum comfort in everyday driving and improve traction in all road conditions.

In addition, the springs, dampers, and stabilizer bars have been specially developed for this configuration. This advanced suspension system provides greater ability to absorb uneven terrain, ensuring superior comfort for all occupants and excellent handling. The Q4 system is automatically activated based on road grip and gradient conditions, ensuring all-wheel drive is always available through Power Looping technology, so the car maintains Q4 traction even with low battery levels.

High-end configuration: "Leggenda" badge and premium equipment

Aesthetically, the Junior Ibrida Q4 stands out with a reinterpretation of the "Leggenda" emblem, full-LED headlights, and 18-inch alloy wheels. The cabin is embellished with exclusive elements such as a leather steering wheel, heated Spiga seats in vinyl and fabric (electric adjustment for the driver's seat with massage and 6-way manual for the passenger seat), a 10.25-inch infotainment system with navigation, a 6-speaker sound system, and aluminum pedals and door sills. Attention to detail is also guaranteed by the elegant and distinctive 8-color interior lighting that highlights the air vents, the center tunnel, and the iconic Telescope. Also standard are Level 2 autonomous driving, a 180° rearview camera, a hands-free electric tailgate, and a keyless entry system with proximity access technology.
