Roughly five months after a series of images of the facelifted 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio surfaced online, it appears that the facelifted Giulia has also leaked. These images were recently shared to Instagram by the Alfaromeo.it page with the first two showing the sedan modified for the Italian police force. You could be excused for thinking the Giulia pictured looks identical to the current model but take a closer look at the headlights, and you’ll notice they have more defined inner design elements, more akin to the lights of the Alfa Romeo Tonale SUV.
Importantly, the headlights pictured on
this Giulia appear largely identical to those that were fitted to a facelifted
Stelvio, snapped both in Alfa Romeo’s factory and on the street in March. This
Giulia crafted for the Polizia can also be seen sporting a pair of circular fog
lights incorporated into the lower grille section. While entry-level Giulia
models on sale in Europe are already offered with these fog lights, they are
not present on the Giulia models currently used by Italian police forces.
The police livery has also been updated
when compared to the current model with the most notable alterations being the
redesigned white sections running across the hood and contrasted with blue,
green, and red stripes.
No further details are known about the
facelifted Alfa Romeo Giulia, including when it could hit the market, though we
could see it as early as this year or the beginning of 2023, either as a 2023MY
or 2024MY in North America. It is possible that Alfa Romeo will also update the
rear fascia with new taillights complete with different LED signatures.
Alfa Romeo is expected to continue selling
the Giulia and Stelvio until around 2027, the date when it will morph into an
all-electric brand. As such, the facelifted models could be in the market for
four or five years and if so, may also benefit from some technology updates in
their cabins.
