Finance offers for the first Alfa Romeo EV have been announced, with costs starting from £299 per month.
Those who order an Alfa Romeo Junior will also receive a £500 contribution towards an Octopus charging device for their home.
This comes on top of a £1,000 deposit contribution from Alfa Romeo across the model range, which sees cash prices starting from £33,895 on the road.
News of Alfa Romeo's finance offers follows the announcement of prices for the Kia EV3, plus the introduction of a new, cheaper version of the Volvo EX30.
More electric SUV competition
Alfa Romeo initially named its compact EV the Milano, in honor of the Italian marque's home city. However, some Italian politicians took exception to the fact that the car is produced in Tychy, Poland. The result was a name change to Junior.
The standard Junior Elettrica and Junior Speciale use a 156hp electric motor, with a potential range of up to 250 miles when fully charged. With a higher 240hp output, the sportier Veloce has a reduced range of 215 miles.
All versions come with 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, rear parking sensors and a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel. There is also a 10.25-inch central touchscreen, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, plus safety systems including adaptive cruise control and active lane assist.
The Junior Speciale gains a sportier exterior styling kit, along with satellite navigation and a 180-degree reversing camera. At the top of the range, Veloce models have lowered sports suspension, 20-inch alloy wheels and a Torsen limited-slip differential.
From less than £300 a month
The Alfa Romeo offer for the Junior is available until 8 October 2024, covering vehicles purchased using Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) finance with a 6.9 percent APR.
Based on a 37-month contract, the Junior Elettrica costs £299 per month, with a £8,860.84 customer deposit contribution, plus a mileage allowance of 6,000 miles per year.
For the Junior Speciale, the same terms see a monthly cost of £329 when combined with a £8,954.58 customer deposit.
Finally, opting for the range-topping Junior Veloce will see customers paying £399 per month, following an initial deposit of £10,701.46.
