About Giulia

When the Giulia was revealed in 2015, it was Alfa Romeo's most important car in a generation: a rear-drive sport sedan built to take on the BMW 3 Series on its own ground. The name came from the 1960s Giulia, a boxy four-door that out-handled most sports cars of its era, and the new car honored it with sharp steering, a balanced chassis and genuinely beautiful proportions. It was the first product of the Giorgio platform, a costly architecture that Alfa's revival depended on.

The headliner was the Giulia Quadrifoglio, with a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 developed with Ferrari know-how, more than 500 horsepower and a record lap of the Nurburgring for a production sedan at its launch. Lesser versions use a turbocharged four-cylinder with rear- or all-wheel drive. Drivers fell for the steering and the ride; owners and critics poked at the infotainment, early electrical niggles and depreciation. Sales were respectable in Italy and modest almost everywhere else, especially in the United States, where shoppers stuck with German badges.

The Giulia has lasted far longer than planned. Its successor has been delayed and rethought to offer combustion and hybrid power alongside an electric version, so Alfa has kept the current car on sale with updated technology and styling tweaks. Rivals remain the BMW 3 Series and M3, Mercedes C-Class, Audi A4 and S4, Genesis G70 and Cadillac CT4, a field that has thinned as sedans lose ground to SUVs. Recent coverage has included coachbuilders reimagining the Quadrifoglio as a coupe, collector-focused special editions and the steady drip of news about the next Giulia. Recalls, pricing changes and long-term reviews round out the picture of a car that keeps outliving its expiry date.
