Alfa Romeo Milan had its premiere. The curtain for the first (too) has been fully opened electric Alfa and the smallest model in the company's lineup. A case of B segment SUV and the spiritual successor of the models Juliet in Mito. It is based on the same platform as Fiat 600, jeep avenger, Opel Mokka ali Peugeot 2008, but still has a style all its own. It also promises “typical Alfa driving pleasures".
Exterior
With length 4,17 meters, width 1,78 meters and height 1,50 meters Alfa Romeo Milano takes over some of the brand's signature elements. Starting with the classic front trident, in which it is located Visconti Biscione, which emphasizes the close connection with the Lombard capital. The logo is located on the bonnet, directly above the radiator grill, and is not in color, but in gray-black. They are also a specialty lights "C", which almost close the front and have a segmental light signature that differs from the light signature of the models Giulia, Stelvio in Tonal. Instead, Milano took the matrix from its larger relatives LED headlights.
Refined front it contrasts somewhat with the clean sides, as the window line rises from the center of the rear doors. The roof (which is likely to be optionally available in a contrasting color) runs parallel to the floor. The last part of the it's swept back and has a strip of light running through the entire rear door. It also appears spoiler alert. The rear window is also particularly inclined, which cancels out the lines of the model Milan.
