Alfa
Romeo Giulietta Facelift (UK)
The Italian Golf rival is
now available in revised and renamed trim levels, featuring subtle styling
changes to match the aesthetics of the Giulia mid-sized sedan.
The range also benefits from
the addition of a new version that pairs the 120 hp 1.6-litre JTDM diesel engine
with Alfa’s twin-clutch gearbox. Performance-wise, this new version of the
Giulietta is capable of a 0-62 mph in 10.2 seconds, a top speed of 121 mph and an
official combined fuel economy of 74.3 mpg UK while CO2 emissions are rated at
99 g/km.
The styling changes include
a new front-end treatment with a honeycomb grille, piano black bumper inserts
(sportier models also get red detailing) and revised headlamp and fog light
surrounds. Alfa Romeo has added new alloy wheel designs, updated tail pipes and
new colors in the available palette as well.
Inside there are now new
seat upholstery options and dashboard-door panel finishes, a more modern trip
computer display and the latest Uconnect infotainment system with connected
services.
The new Alfa Romeo will be
available in five trim levels: Giulietta, Giulietta Super, Giulietta Tecnica,
Giulietta Speciale and Giulietta Veloce. The latter is also the fastest version
of the Giulietta, using the same turbocharged 1.75-litre engine with the 4C
producing 240hp which is paired to a specially calibrated version of the
brand’s twin-clutch transmission.
Prices start at £ 18,450 for
the turbo 120 hp 1.4-litre version, with the new 120 hp diesel TCT model asking
for £ 22,300 and £ 28,480 the range-topping and TCT-only Veloce.
