Shortly after being unveiled in China, the
2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio have been presented in North American and
European spec just ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Changes start on the outside. Both the 2020
Stelvio and Giulia get a body-color appearance kit for Sport models.
Additionally, Sport models can be optioned with a Dark Miron kit that features
fender flares, side sills, and a rear fascia in a dark-painted finish. There is
also an exterior carbon fiber package available. New paint options include
Anodized Blue, Lunare White, and Verde Visconti.
The interiors have also been updated. One
of the most significant updates is the fitment of a new standard 8.8-inch
center touchscreen display that includes a host of new performance pages while
also offering digital HVAC and other controls. Users are also able to customize
the homepage by selecting their ideal layout. A 12-month trial of SiriusXM
radio is also offered standard on all models.
Additionally, Alfa Romeo has redesigned
the standard 7-inch TFT instrument cluster screen of the Giulia and Stelvio
with a new layout and improved graphics. The display has also been updated to
provide real-time data for the driver.
A new center console has also been
developed for the duo complete with a machined-knurled aluminum-look rotary
dial, upgraded knob materials, and increased storage capacity. There is also a
small Italian flag placed at the base of the shifter. The Italian car
manufacturer has also enlarged the cup holders and incorporated wireless phone
charging. Other alterations include a new premium leather-wrapped shifter and
race-inspired steering wheel.
Complementing the host of interior
upgrades is a level 2 autonomous driving system that includes Highway Assist
System, Traffic James Assist System, Traffic Sign Recognition, Lane Keep
Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist, Driver Attention Alert, and Standard Full
Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus. Other updates include a WiFi hotspot,
Mobile App with Remote Operations, Vehicle Finder, Stolen Vehicle Locater and
Assistance, as well as Over-The-Air updates for the vehicle’s firmware.

start at $39,345 excluding a US$ 1,295 destination fee while the 2020 Stelvio starts
