UK buyers can now purchase the Alfa Romeo Giulietta
in a new Sport trim which adds dynamic styling cues and enhances the model’s
standard equipment levels. The exterior gains 17″ five-hole alloys, side
skirts, a front splitter and rear diffuser with red trims, rear privacy glass
and extra large fog lights and exhaust tips for a more menacing look. Also new
is the addition of Misano Blue as an exterior shade, otherwise reserved for the
flagship Veloce spec.
The interior boasts a dark headlining
like on the Veloce, a techno-leather steering wheel, climate control, cruise
control and a 5-inch Uconnect multimedia system with Uconnect LIVE services.
Other features include the Alfa DNA selector with Q2 electronic differential
and Dynamic Steering Torque, the ESC system and Hill Holder.
There are two available power units to choose from.
Priced at £ 20,965 is the 1.4-liter petrol version, producing 120 HP and
allowing for a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.4 seconds. Spend
£ 22,230 and you could get the diesel-powered 1.6-liter JTDM-2 model, also with
120 horses, yet a slower 0-100 km/h time at 10 seconds flat.
This new Sport version is now the entry-level model
to the Giulietta ‘Performance DNA’ range, positioned underneath the Speciale
and Veloce trims.
