"Agile and graceful, tenacious and infinite": this is how TpgGear Italia, one of the most authoritative magazines in the motoring field, welcomed the advent of the new Julia, the car with which Alfa Romeo is leading sales in the D segment in Italy with "Bulgarian" shares close to 80%, a model destined to bring Alfa Romeo back to the streets of the United States and to counter the dominance in Europe hitherto practiced by German manufacturers. Totally Italian style, every detail is sculpted on the mechanics, from the "V" shape to the muscular lines created to emphasize the power that its sporty set-up transmits. The range starts at a price of 35 euros and consists of five trim levels: Giulia, Super, Quadrifoglio, Business and Business Sport.
It is also possible to access the Giulia world for 180 euros per month. And this October the range has been enriched, as well as with the Business AE intended in particular for companies, also with the Giulia Veloce. The star of the recent Paris Motor Show, where it made its world debut, the Giulia Veloce is equipped with the new 2.2 HP 210 Turbo Diesel engine, combined with an eight-speed automatic transmission and the unprecedented Q4 all-wheel drive. The new car boasts an evocative and glorious name in the Alfa Romeo tradition: in fact, the name "Veloce" was born in 1956 with the Giulietta model and since then has identified the sportiest and most distinctive versions of the Alfa Romeo. And today the Veloce acronym is back on the Giulia in order to satisfy a customer looking for content rich in personality. This new car stands out both for some refined aesthetic elements, such as the specific bumpers and the glossy black glass frame, and for some sportier contents such as the specific rear diffuser that integrates the double exhaust terminal and the 19" alloy wheels. ″ 5-hole available as an option.
The same sporty imprint inside, where the new leather Sport seats stand out, available in three colours, heated and with electric adjustment, the sports steering wheel with specific and heated grip, the aluminum inserts on the dashboard, central tunnel and door panels and the headlights to Xenon. A distinctive style, both inside and out, is matched by standard equipment which includes dual-zone climate control, the Alfa DNA system and the Alfa Connect 6,5″ infotainment system, as well as new and efficient active safety systems such as Forward Collision Warning (FCW ) with Autonomous Emergency Brake (AEB) and pedestrian recognition, the braking system IBS (Integrated Brake System), the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and cruise control with speed limiter. The new 2.2 Turbo Diesel engine makes its debut on the Giulia Veloce, developing a maximum power of 210 HP at 3.750 rpm and maximum torque of 470 Nm at 1750 rpm. In particular, the 2.2 turbodiesel of the Giulia is the first diesel engine in the history of Alfa Romeo built entirely in aluminium. This in-line four-cylinder is characterized by the latest generation MultiJet II injection system with Injection Rate Shaping.
(IRS) and operating pressures of 2.000 bar. The electrically actuated variable geometry turbocharger represents the state of the art of mechanics and minimizes response times while ensuring advantages in terms of efficiency. The new Giulia Veloce brings the innovative four-wheel drive system with Q4 technology to its debut, designed to manage vehicle traction in real time, in order to guarantee the highest level in terms of performance, efficiency and safety. The Q4 system therefore ensures all the advantages of all-wheel drive – in terms of stability, traction and safety – and, at the same time, guarantees reduced fuel consumption, responsiveness and all the driving pleasure of a rear-wheel drive car.
