Alfa Romeo Giulia 2025: Price, consumption, picture, technical data.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia appeals to driving enthusiasts with its fun-to-drive chassis, resonant powertrain and drop-dead gorgeous design. It’s designed to take on sports sedans like the BMW 3 Series, Genesis G70 and Mercedes ML , and that hot-blooded Italian flair easily sets it apart from the more mundane crowd. A 280-hp turbocharged four-cylinder delivers ample power, and the Giulia’s sharp handling will meet the expectations of even the most aggressive driver.

Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan

Though its interior design is less inspired than its boisterous exterior, the Giulia still offers an upscale experience with plenty of amenities and a driver-focused layout. Those looking for a more extreme sport sedan should instead consider the high-performance Quadrifoglio variant — reviewed separately — which swaps the standard four-cylinder for a 505-hp twin-turbo V-6.

What’s new ?

Alfa Romeo has trimmed the Giulia range from five to three trims , starting with the new entry-level Sprint. Both the mid-range Ti and top-of-the-range Ti Sport get new standard equipment. Both models now come with a panoramic sunroof and in-dash navigation; the Ti Sport also gets a standard limited-slip differential. A quartet of new colors – Ocra GT Junior, Rosso GTA, Rosso Villa d’Este and Verde Montreal – are also new to the options sheet .

Since the Giulia’s best feature is its crisp driving dynamics, we’d double down on the mid-range Ti model and specify the Performance pack, which includes active suspension and a mechanical limited-slip rear differential, both of which enhance the Giulia’s handling performance. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and we’d stick with it, but all-wheel drive is available and adds €2000 (Euros) to the bottom line.

Engine, transmission and performance

The Giulia’s 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder produces 280 horsepower, sounds intoxicating and feels gutsy when driven hard. The Giulia pulls away from stoplights with gusto while singing Italian arias. Our rear-wheel-drive test car’s 5.7-second zero-to-60 mph time and an all-wheel-drive model’s 5.5-second time put the Giulia in its segment in our acceleration tests; the Audi A4 managed it in 5.2 seconds and the four-cylinder BMW 330i managed 5.4 seconds, although both cars have less horsepower than the Alfa. All Giulias come with a drive mode selector with three unique settings:

Dynamic, Natural and Advanced Efficiency – cleverly forming the acronym DNA – which respectively alter the car’s transmission, engine management and steering feel. Agile and snappy at all times, the Giulia is a sporty sedan for any driving enthusiast. The front tires respond very well to driver inputs and speak clearly to the driver through the leather steering wheel. Body roll is well controlled and in hard corners the Giulia remains flat and predictable. It’s easy to drive fast and aggressively, but it’s just as comfortable when driven quietly.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

Among its turbocharged four-cylinder rivals, the Giulia has competitive fuel economy numbers from the EPA that are just near the top of their class. Rear-wheel-drive models are rated at 24 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. All-wheel-drive models see a slight deficit at 23 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, but that’s common in this class. In our real-world highway fuel economy test, our rear-drive Ti test vehicle nearly delivered its EPA number with a 32-mpg result.

Interior, comfort and cargo

The Giulia’s interior is finished in soft-touch plastics, rich leather and either textured metallic or real wood trim. It’s an elegantly designed cabin, with a wide, curved dashboard that acts as a visor to protect the integrated infotainment screen from the sun. The seats are comfortable and well-bolstered, especially the optional sports seats. But pack your sunglasses: the Giulia’s sun visors are laughably small and ineffective when driving head-on into the sun. The Giulia managed to fit five of our carry-on suitcases in its trunk; with the rear seats folded down, it managed to fit 14 of our carry-on suitcases behind segment leaders by one carry-on. The Giulia and Giulia Ti models feature a split-folding rear seat that easily folds flat to expand cargo capacity.

Infotainment and connectivity

All Giulias come with Alfa Romeo’s new 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which sits between the dashboard and the central climate control vents. Three USB ports, an auxiliary input jack, and Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity are standard. The infotainment interface is relatively intuitive and offers customization options, but we found the optional navigation to occasionally be slow to update at crucial times during turn-by-turn directions, and some of the on-screen icons are small and difficult to activate while driving. Although the new system has a touchscreen, Alfa Romeo has retained the additional rotary knob controller on the center console. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration are standard, and a 14-speaker Harman/Kardon audio system is optional.

Safety and driver assistance functions

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration hasn’t released a safety rating for the Giulia, but the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety did admirably in that agency’s crash tests. Unfortunately, the standard headlights fared poorly, costing the Giulia a Top Safety Pick nomination. Alfa has made automatic emergency braking standard , but more advanced driver-assist technology is still optional. Key safety features include:

• Standard automatic emergency braking
• Available lane departure warning and lane keeping assist
• Available adaptive cruise control with semi-autonomous driving mode

Warranty and maintenance coverage

Warranty coverage can be an important issue to consider when buying an Alfa Romeo. The brand’s reputation for reliability is among the worst in the industry. Alfa Romeo’s warranty coverage follows the same convention as most of its rivals, although Jaguar bucks the trend here with longer warranties. Giulia owners are treated to free scheduled maintenance for the first year, but the 3 Series and Jaguar XE both offer better value here.

Alfa Romeo Julia Price

Despite such a long wait, the price of the Alfa Romeo Giulia is already known. It starts at 11,200 euros and goes up to 23,000 euros. Of course, the cost of a car depends on the number of options and systems included in the package.
