Say ciao bella to the Alfa Romeo Milano – the Italian firm's new VW Golf rival! Replacing the ageing 147 family hatch, the stylish family hatchback should make its worldwide debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
From these spy shots it’s easy to see that the design language from the supermini MiTo has been translated to the Milano. Large headlights sit proudly up front, while the signature Alfa Romeo grille nestles between. At the rear are a pair of bold, circular lights.
While Alfa is ditching numerically tagged cars and switching to names they’re also doubling up on platforms. The Milano is based Alfa’s new, larger mid-size car platform and will go on to underpin the next 159, which is likely to be called the Guilia.
Expect the Milano to be more spacious than the 147 and be powered by a range of turbocharged four-cylinder engines, including the MiTo's 155bhp 1.4-litre turbo, while range-topping models will get the classic Alfa 3.2-litre V6.
More details will appear before the proper reveal at Frankfurt but sales will start early next year. For more details click here.
