Alfa Romeo Giulia (UK)
The UK arm of Alfa Romeo is getting
ready to welcome the new Giulia, releasing at the same time range and pricing
details of the hotly-anticipated model.
The new Alfa Romeo Giulia will be
available in the UK in five trim levels, Giulia, Super, Tecnica, Speciale and
the range-topping Quadrifoglio. The available color palette includes 13
different exterior color options.
Customers in the UK will be able to
choose between four engines -two petrol and two diesel units which are all paired
to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The range kicks off with the turbocharged
197 hp 2.0-litre petrol engine, followed by two 2.2-litre diesel units
with 148 hp and 178 hp respectively.
The remaining engine is of course the 503 hp twin-turbo 2.9-litre V6 engine that powers the Quadrifoglio version
which will be offered only as an automatic in the UK market.
Entry-level models get lots of standard
kit, including a range of active safety systems like Forward Collision Warning
with Autonomous Emergency Brake with pedestrian recognition, Integrated Brake
System, and Lane Departure Warning. Other standard features include a 6.5"
display infotainment system with DAB plus MP3 and Bluetooth connectivity,
8-speaker audio system, rear parking sensors and cruise control.
Pricing starts at £ 29,180 for the base
petrol model and reaches all the way up to £ 59,000 for the M3-rivalling
Quadrifoglio version. Alfa Romeo says that the first cars are expected to reach
the UK shores later this year.
