Alfa Romeo Giulia

You’ll definitely enjoy the interior of the Alfa Romeo Giulia if you prefer a premium minimalistic styling that screams both luxury and performance. The inside of this luxury sedan is predominantly black and has a combination of sports-oriented equipment and perforated leather upholstery. The driver’s steering wheel and gear lever are both coated in perforated leather (also have sports counterparts). Its floor mats have non-contrast stitching, while its pillars are blacked-out, giving this car a sporty vibe inside. It is given stainless steel door sills with the luxurious Giulia lettering.

This luxury sedan is also equipped with cutting-edge technological features such as dual-zone automatic air-conditioning, automatic dimming rear view mirror, and an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that offers Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth and is linked to a premium 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. Exclusive to the driver is a 7-inch TFT color screen as his or her instrument cluster. 

Walking around this car is definitely a treat because of its highly-appealing exterior design, which showcases Alfa Romeo’s unique beauty on the road. At the front, it sports the brand’s signature glossy anthracite V-shaped grille, standing out from the rest of the crowd because of its innate distinctness. Its premium flare is all thanks to its bi-xenon headlights with LED DRLs. When you tail behind this luxury sports sedan, its premium-looking LED rear lights (that look like sideways Vs) will definitely get your attention. 

This vehicle’s exterior styling has a mixture of sophistication and mystique. It is given a lightened aluminum roof and an exhaust system with a double flow black coating. Meanwhile, its rear and side windows are darkened, giving all passengers more privacy. The Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce is 4,643 mm in length, 2,024 mm in width, and 1,436 mm in height. It has a 2,820 mm wheelbase and runs on 19-inch alloy wheels. 

The Alfa Romeo Giulia utilizes the brand’s ‘Alfa Link In Aluminum Adjustable’ suspension system. This suspension is responsible for the vehicle’s light steering and great absorption of road bumps. You can also precisely hit corners with this suspension. Overall, you and all your passengers will remain relaxed even at high speeds because the Giulia remains composed and stable on the road.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia runs on a 2L, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces a maximum power output of 280 hp and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. It is paired with the brand’s ZF 8-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system. Though it is not as powerful as other German luxury sport sedans, it still offers an exciting driving experience whether on city roads or free-flowing highways. This car has good overtaking capabilities. For a performance-oriented luxury sports sedan, this has decent fuel economy. That said, if you don’t feel the burden of fuel costs, then this car would be great for daily city driving.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia also offers cutting-edge safety features. It is equipped with lane departure warning, traction control, frontal crash sensors, tire pressure sensors and monitoring, and the brand’s “Alfa DNA Adjustable 3 Stage”, which is a feature that helps you have more dynamic control while driving. In terms of braking, this car utilizes brake calipers equipped with anti-locking and assistance systems. 

In terms of pricing, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce is in the middle. It is more expensive than other luxury sport/performance-oriented sedans like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but cheaper than a base BMW M3. However, its niche-based market really puts it at a disadvantage. That said, there is a low demand for an Alfa Romeo Giulia because many Filipinos tend to buy (or consider cars) that are popular or trendy. But, the Alfa Romeo Giulia does not get credit enough for its beautiful and unique design, its state-of-the-art features, and just its overall capability to provide a smooth driving experience for everyone.
