2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia in West Nyack, NY - $0

As the first of a new generation of vehicles built on an all-new platform, the 2017 Giulia sedan embodies Alfa Romeo’s La meccanica delle emozioni (the mechanics of emotion), delivering inspired performance, advanced technologies, seductive Italian style and an exhilarating driving experience to the premium mid-size sedan segment.

Expanding Alfa Romeo’s lineup beyond the ultra-high performance Giulia Quadrifoglio, Giulia and Giulia Ti models deliver a comprehensive list of standard features.

With its muscular proportions and a “pure” design ethos of passion, lightness and simplistic elegance “clothing” its class-leading technical layout with near perfect 50/50 weight balance, the all-new 2017 Giulia exudes stunning and functional Italian style with a finesse of Alfa Romeo heritage, athletically taut lines and sculptural details.

Alfa Romeo designers styled the proportions of the all-new Giulia to have commanding presence and a menacing face determined to take on the world’s best roadways and road courses. A large signature “shield” grille is elegantly sculpted within the front fascia to form the “Trilobo,” a signature of Alfa Romeo design. Aggressively styled headlamps flank the signature grille and include LED daytime running lights (DRL) for a signature appearance.

The available Sport, Lusso and Performance packages add to the Giulia’s performance and style. Power for the midsize Alfa Romeo sedan is generated by an all-new, all-aluminum 2.0L direct-injection four-cylinder turbocharged engine connected to a ZF 8HP50 eight-speed automatic transmission. For more capability, the innovative Q4 all-wheel-drive system (AWD) is also available on Giulia and Giulia Ti models.

Giulia’s all-new rear-wheel-drive architecture extensively integrates lightweight, state-of-the-art materials that enable segment-leading torsional rigidity and the most direct steering available. As the first of the Alfa Romeo product renaissance to feature the all-new “Giorgio” architecture, Alfa Romeo engineers designed a lightweight rear-wheel-drive platform with a low center of gravity – all to deliver the high-performance and precision expected from an Alfa Romeo. Giulia’s aluminum front and rear vehicle frames, front shock towers, brakes, suspension components, doors and fenders also help shed weight compared to conventional steel. Additionally, the rear cross member is made from aluminum and composite.

An Alfa Romeo exclusive double wishbone front suspension with semi-virtual steering axis guarantees rapid and accurate steering feel. With the most direct steering ratio in the segment (11.8:1), Alfa Romeo Giulia can tackle high lateral accelerations as a result of the always-perfect footprint. At the rear, a patented Alfa-link rear axle design with vertical rod ensures top performance, driving pleasure and passenger ride comfort.

Inside the passenger cabin is built around the driver, focusing on simplistic elegance, with a focus on incorporating the essential elements for performance. Giulia’s high level of craftsmanship starts with an asymmetric-styled instrument panel, featuring a driver-focused cockpit. Wrapped in ultra-premium leather and Alcantara, and highlighted by authentic carbon fiber, aluminum and accent stitching, the Alfa Romeo Giulia features a bespoke look that could only be crafted in Italy. A Formula-1 inspired steering wheel features a thick-rim profile that transmits the chassis’ direct-steering feel and neatly groups the vehicle controls and the red engine start button. Behind the steering wheel, the Giulia features a full-color 7-inch driver information display (DID) cluster straddled by two large white-on-black face analog gauges.

At the center of the interior, Alfa Romeo Giulia’s all-new 3-D Navigation offers an intuitive, yet sophisticated series of features, including a high-resolution 8.8-inch widescreen display with real-time vehicle performance pages and telemetry, plus 3-D graphic navigation. An all-new and ergonomically located Alfa Rotary Pad offers a gesture recognition system, allowing the driver to interact with the 3-D Navigation system simply by moving fingers on the pad.
