With the model Giulia Quadriofoglio, Alfa Romeo has impressed all car connoisseurs, but this model will most likely not find its way into most garages. The regular Giulia is thus looking for its place in the strong competition of the D segment, which is dominated by the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C Class, Audi A4 and Jaguar XE.
Alfa Romeo Giulia is a special beauty that does not lack beauty. The proud lines of the hips end beautifully in an almost erotic rear. The front part boasts the very classic triangular grille, common to all Alfas since the first model. Side silhouette It is almost unique and naturally shaped.
Giulia is easily the most beautiful car in its class, successfully carrying the story of a beautiful exterior into the interior. Here too Giulia It looks arrogant and with the quality materials used, it is quite top-notch. But even at the expense of external beauty, the interior is slightly less spacious than in the competition. A particularly interesting phenomenon is the luggage compartment, which seems small, but the data on liters shows that it has an identical volume as the closest competition – Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series.
The exterior beauty is easily followed by driving dynamics, which can be adjusted with the system DNA. This will turn a beauty into an athlete, firming her hips and raising her blood pressure. Angry and arrogant, she will take you into corners with incredible precision, while remaining neutral for a long time. New Giulia Of course, thanks to the rear-wheel drive, it drives interestingly and, in keeping with tradition, even a bit nervously at times. Alpha namely, the rear wheel drive has not been used since the model Alfa Romeo 75But Alfa hasn't forgotten about making cars like this. The credit for the exceptional driving dynamics lies, among other things, in the lightweight materials and the car's low total weight.
The test version hid under the hood 2.2-liter JTDm enginewho squeezes out of his soul 180 horsepower or 134 kW. This is an engine at the top of the diesel range. That's why it has enough power to often go too fast and to easily exceed the legal speed limit on the motorway and drive the Giulio to 222 km/h final speed. From traffic light to traffic light, you will be forced into violations by the acceleration that launches Giulio to 100 km/h in 7.2 secondsIt should be emphasized that even a slightly more dynamic ride will not drain your fuel tank excessively, as the test Giulia used under 6.5 liters when we managed to behave decently in her company.
Giulia is a heartbreaker, which will raise the hormone levels of many fans of this brand to such a level that they will decide to buy it. But at least for those who are a little more rational, the price of the Giulia is set a little high. The price of the test car easily exceeded the magic mark 50,000 euros, which in the D segment is the amount for which you can think of any premium brand with a comparable level of equipment. From now on, of course, also Alfa Romeo.
