Alfa Romeo reveals poorly designed Junior Elettrica front grille
- The Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica is an electric vehicle that shares components with other Stellantis models.
- Critics have pointed out a significant flaw in the car's grille design, which seems unappealing and poorly executed.
- This design choice has led to a debate about the vehicle's marketability and the expectations of Alfa Romeo fans.
In Italy, the new Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica has attracted attention for its unique design as it enters the market as a stylish electric vehicle. The vehicle shares its mechanical components with other models in the Stellantis group, including the Peugeot e-2008 and Fiat 600e. This shared technology does result in nearly identical performance and driving experience across different brands, making consumer choice heavily dependent on personal preferences. Critics have pointed out a significant flaw in the design, specifically the car's grille, which has received negative feedback for its aesthetic appearance. Instead of the traditional Alfa shield design, the grille appears as a simple cutout that fails to impress, resembling a missing component rather than a designed feature. This design choice has sparked debates among car enthusiasts and consumers alike, as many expect a higher level of visual appeal from Alfa Romeo. The Italian government's earlier concern about branding also highlighted how closely tied the identity of this electric car is to its Polish manufacturing origins, complicating its image as a quintessentially Italian vehicle.
