Alfa Romeo Giulia

The Giulia is a premium compact sports sedan that seats up to five passengers. It’s the only sedan in the Alfa Romeo lineup and shares a platform and some components with the Italian automaker’s other model, the Stelvio, a compact crossover SUV.

Alfa Romeo has offered the Giulia in a variety of trims over the years. They include the base model (renamed Sprint in 2021), the mid-range Ti, and the high-performance Quadrifoglio. Both the base and the Ti offer Sport versions, which add some unique styling details. The Ti Lusso, on the other hand, offers a more luxurious interior. The Ti Sport trim was renamed Veloce in 2022. Standard equipment includes keyless entry and ignition, leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, and rear parking sensors. In 2018, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration became standard, and in 2020, the infotainment system was upgraded from a 6.5-inch display to an 8.8-inch touchscreen. Alfa Romeo made a host of other desirable features standard in 2022, including heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a wireless device charger, navigation, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning, and lane-departure warning. They had previously been optional or limited to higher-level trims.

Most versions of the Giulia employ a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine making 280 horsepower. It’s backed by an eight-speed automatic transmission, which routes the power to the rear wheels, unless the car is equipped with optional all-wheel drive. The range-topping Quadrifoglio gets a Ferrari-derived 2.9-liter turbo V6, which sends a whopping 505 hp to the rear wheels (only) via an eight-speed automatic. It also utilizes a torque-vectoring rear differential to ensure maximum traction and performance. No hybrid or electric versions of the Giulia have yet been produced.
