Don’t like your new Alfa Romeo EV? Give it back after six months

Alfa Romeo will let drivers cut and run after six months with the Junior Elettrica Special under its new ‘Flex & Free’ scheme. Aimed at EV-curious drivers hesitant to commit to a fully electric car, the scheme is a tweak on the usual personal contract hire offer – drive the new Junior Elettrica Speciale for six months and you have the freedom to hand the car back, change to a different Alfa Romeo model, or continue with your contract.
