Alfa Romeo Giulietta at the forthcoming Geneva Car Show

The new Alfa Romeo Giulietta will be presented at the forthcoming Geneva Car Show. Sales of the new model will start in spring and gradually be extended to all the major markets. The Alfa Romeo Giulietta is expected to give the brand new impetus in one of Europe's most important segments.

In the Centenary year, the name is a tribute to an automobile myth and Alfa Romeo. The Giulietta is a car that, in the fifties, caught the imagination of generations of car enthusiasts, making the dream of owning an Alfa Romeo and enjoying the high level of comfort and technical excellence accessible for the first time.

The Alfa Romeo Style Centre has produced a new Giulietta, a sports car capable of expressing great agility on the most demanding routes and providing comfort on everyday roads.

A new architecture for enhancing road hold and agility in total comfort and safety

Meet the new Alfa Romeo, a compact car created to appeal to customers who seek top dynamic performance, distinctive style, and a high level of comfort.

The Giulietta has a brand-new architecture designed to meet the expectations of the most demanding customers in terms of road holding, agility, and safety. Its excellent dynamic performance and great comfort are the results of refined technical solutions implemented in the suspensions, a next-generation steering system, a rigid yet light structure made of aluminum and high-strength steel, and state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies.

Alfa DNA, a device that customizes the behavior of the car according to different driving styles and road conditions, can adapt the new Alfa Romeo to the needs of each individual driver to enhance driving pleasure and comfort. The new architecture of the Alfa Giulietta was designed to integrate and enhance all onboard systems. Three set-ups (Dynamic, Normal and All Weather) are available and can be selected using the Alfa DNA. This device - standard across the entire range of the new model - modifies the operating parameters of the engine, the steering system, and the Q2 electronic differential, in addition to fine-tuning the stability control system (VDC) behavioral logic.

Italian style sportiness and comfort

Combining sportiness and elegance, the Alfa Giulietta is the result of Alfa Romeo's new direction in style and technology - an approach that started with the 8C Competizione supercar and which recalls the brand's glorious past while projecting its traditional values of technology and emotion into the future.

The front end is developed around a “trilobe shape” and features a brand-new interpretation of the classic Alfa grille, set into the front bumper and suspended between the two air intakes. The entire car develops from here to combine a lively personality with an elegant form. The front headlamps implement LED technology and a Daytime Running Lights (DRL) function for maximum active safety.

The profile of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta is rich in personality and confers the appearance of an agile, solid model. This is, above all, the result of the coupé-shaped side windows, which highlight the dynamic and streamlined shape of the concealed rear handles. The side ribbing adds to the car's slender look, while the taut lines closing in on the rear end accentuate the "wedge" shape of the body.

The style of the rear end, like that of the front and the side, is strong and consolidates the impression of a muscular car, firmly gripped to the road. Like the headlamps, the rear light clusters implement LED technology, to the advantage of preventive safety, in addition to good looks.

The interior design is taut and light: a horizontally developed dashboard with aluminum element accents and rocker controls that explicitly recall the 8C Competizione. Painstaking attention to detail and the high quality of the materials used are the most advanced expression of Italian style.

Finally, the new car's dimensions give it a compact, dynamic shape, excellent roominess, and a spacious boot (350 liters): it is 4.35 meters long, 1.46 meters high, and 1.80 meters wide, with a wheelbase of 2.63 meters.

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta guarantees top-level performance and next-generation technology regarding technical solutions, performance, and environmental friendliness. Four Turbo engines will be available at launch, all Euro 5 compliant and fitted with a standard “Start&Stop” system for reducing consumption and emissions: two petrol engines (1.4TB - 120 HP and 1.4TB MultiAir - 170 HP) and two diesel engines (1.6 JTDM - 105 HP and 2.0 JTDM - 170 HP, both belonging to the second generation of JTDM engines). Finally, the range is completed with the lively 1750 TBi - 235 HP with an exclusive Quadrifoglio Verde configuration.

Safety and dynamic behavior at the top of the segment

Alfa Romeo Giulietta was designed to obtain the maximum Euro NCAP rating to protect drivers and passengers. Furthermore, the suspension, steering, and braking system are designed to be perfectly balanced even during extreme maneuvers.

Finally, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta is fitted with the most sophisticated electronic devices for dynamic control, such as VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control), DST (Dynamic Steering Torque), Q2 electronic differential, and Alfa DNA selector. All these systems guarantee driving safety, dynamism, and performance in the best Alfa Romeo tradition.
