The Alfa Romeo Milano is the brand's first electric vehicle, and it is most likely stuck overseas.

The new subcompact electric SUV will be available in Europe next year, but Alfa Romeo may bring it to the United States if demand is great.

Alfa Romeo has revealed that its first electric car, the Milano subcompact SUV, will be on sale in April 2024.
The Milano will most likely be based on the Jeep Avenger and Fiat 600e, with gas-powered variants available once the EV comes.
If there is enough desire, Alfa Romeo may introduce the Milano to the United States, where it would compete with the $36,245 Volvo EX30.
Alfa Romeo is in a transitional phase. The Giulia and Stelvio are fading into obscurity, with each failing to sell 5000 units by 2023. Meanwhile, the Tonale debuted this year as the brand's first plug-in hybrid, a step toward a completely electric portfolio. Alfa intends to introduce just EVs beginning in 2025 and only sell electric vehicles beginning in 2027. The business has now stated that its first EV will be a subcompact SUV named the Milano, which will go on sale next year.

The Milano, named after the city where Alfa Romeo was established in 1910, will be launched in Milan, Italy, in April 2024, with deliveries beginning in September. The first model will be driven entirely by electrons, but a gas-powered counterpart, probably with a 48-volt hybrid system, will be available by November. This will be the last new Alfa Romeo to have an internal-combustion engine.

The Milano's key market is Europe, according to Automotive News Europe, and a decision on whether to introduce the compact ute to the United States has yet to be made. According to Alfa Romeo CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato, the Milano is ready for sales outside of Europe if there is enough demand, and he expects certain governments to soon have significant interest in "urban small electric SUVs." The Milano is expected to be even more compact than the Tonale.

The Milano will be manufactured in Tychy, Poland, where Stellantis currently manufactures the Jeep Avenger and Fiat 600e. Both vehicles are available in electric and gas-powered forms, so the same powertrains are expected to make their way into the Alfa Romeo. The electric variants include a 54.0-kWh battery with a range rating of 250 miles based on Europe's optimistic WLTP test cycle.

The Milano will most likely be comparable in size to the Jeep and Fiat, which measure between 160 and 164 inches long with a wheelbase of about 100 inches. In the United States, there aren't many automobiles in that market, much alone EVs. The only electric competitors would be the Chevy Bolt, which will be replaced by a new model in 2025, and the planned Volvo EX30. The latter is set to hit the market next year, with a starting price of $36,245. More information about the Milano will be available next spring.
