About the Alfa Romeo Giulia
With its unique character and appearance, the Alfa Romeo Giulia introduced freshness to the executive saloon category. Unlike most mainstream executive saloons, the Romeo Giulia only comes available in 1 body style; the 4-door model. Thanks to its taut curves, a distinctive front-shield grille, a rakish roof and slender lights, the Giulia has a sporty appearance. The Romeo Giulia also provides performance to match its sporty look, recording 0-62 mph in 7.2 seconds on the test track. The Giulia's lower-power diesel engine manages a solid 8.2 seconds, while the upper-level 197 bhp petrol engine does the same in 6.7 seconds. Alfa's top performer, the Quadrifoglio, can reach a maximum speed of 192 mph.
What can you expect to find in an Alfa Romeo Giulia?
The Alfa Romeo Giulia comes in many trims, as well as some sneaky sub-trims that can easily fool you into thinking you bought the next higher-level trim spec. The standard range trims are the the Giulia Super and Giulia Speciale. The top of the range is the Quadrifoglio, while mid-range trims include the Veloce and Veloce TI. All Alfa Romeo Giulia trim variations are fit with the following standard features:
- Bluetooth and USB connectivity
- Sat-nav & DAB radio
- Heated seats and steering wheel
- Lane-sensing assist technology
- Reverse parking camera
- Adaptive cruise control
The Speciale trim has 18-inch alloy wheels, dual exhaust, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The mid-range Veloce trim comes with:
- 270 bhp petrol engine
- Ferrari-style gearshift paddles
- Improved exterior styling
- Leather interior
- Upgraded brakes
The Veloce TI trim gets the same engine as the Veloce, but it also comes with the same range-topping equipment featured in the Quadrifoglio, including a sporty body kit and 19-inch alloy wheels. Other similar features are electric-powered sports seats, dark-coloured exhaust tips and carbon-fibre grilles. The Quadrifoglio gets an insanely powerful 503 bhp 2.9-litre turbocharged V6 engine, which delivers a whopping 0-62 mph sprint in only 3.9 seconds.
