Alfa Romeo Milano Revealed In Factory Photos

By Jay Williams - 15/July/2009

Turin, Italy – If the boss over at Alfa Romeo ever finds out who took these photos of the all-new new five-door Milano on their mobile phone and leaked them on the famous networking site Facebook, I'm sure he will have a few choice words to say.

The revealing surprise comes only days after an initial leak on Friday, the photo gallery found its way onto a Facebook group page showing the new Milano from several angles and even a dashboard and centre console shot.

The five-door Alfa Romeo Milano clearly takes some design cues from its smaller counterpart, the Alfa Romeo MiTo, it also makes subtle references to the Alfa 8C Competizione, with it's oval headlights and sharp bonnet and grille. Looking at the vehicle from the rear you will notice that the Italian designers have opted for a totally different design, especially when looking at the rear tail lights.

Much like the 147 hatchback (which the Milano will replace) the rear door handles are hidden in the door pillars, which give the vehicle a much smoother and sleeker appearance.   

Photos taken from the interior show that the Milano will featuring an instrument panel with two deeply set gauges at either side, a design feature that is seen in most current Alfas.

The Milano will use the latest version of the Fiat Group's C and D segment platform which is known internally as the C-Evo. Details are still sketchy, but it is said that the Milano will go on sale in Europe before the end of the year or early 2010.

Sources say that the Alfa Romeo Milano will come with a choice of several diesel and gasoline/petrol engines including the Fiat Group's 1.4 litre TJet turbocharged engine in both a 90kW and 118 kW application.

To top-off the engine range, we are likely to see a 1.75 litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing somewhere in a vicinity of 150kW+.
