The test of this Alfa Romeo Giulia is special because I personally have been driving a 2016 Giulia 200hp gasoline for more than 3 years, with almost 50,000 km on the odometer. I know it by heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What more can I say that I have not already said in 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia 10,000 km test drive<\/a>and how to do it an essay that is not only for the already convinced alfists<\/strong> of the many qualities of this Italian ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this essay, I will tell you about the new features of the 2020 version<\/strong> which corrects the weaknesses I listed in my 2016 essay and I will try to convince the non-alfist reader who hesitates<\/strong>If you are in the process of deciding to buy a (beautiful) sedan, read on. Ladies and gentlemen, if you are hesitating with an Audi, BMW, Peugeot, Volvo, Mercedes, Lexus or another brand of sedan, read on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giulia's DNA: cuore sportivo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


To begin and understand the genesis of the Giulia: Alfa Romeo is a sporty brand<\/strong> 110 years old, centenary, and, on the occasion of the 105th anniversary, it was decided to present a new car, a sedan, which ticks all the boxes of what should be the DNA of an Alfa Romeo: beautiful, comfortable, sporty and fun to drive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus the Alfa Romeo Giulia was born as well as the model presented in 2015 in its sportiest version Quadrifoglio with its V6 engine of 510 hp. Why is it important to mention this? Because all the less powerful versions, even the cheapest one in the Giulia catalog, is equipped with the same features: chassis, transmission, suspension... this may not be an important criterion when you buy a car for everyday life, but it makes the difference in the car's behavior which offers a real driving pleasure<\/strong> whatever the engine. You have in your hands a sedan developed by Philippe Krief, current technical director of Ferrari. What other brand can boast this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design: exclusive, it always turns heads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I remember when I got my Giulia in late 2016, there were very few of them in France and it was turning many heads (and raising thumbs), so much so that some were wondering what brand it was. More than 3 years later, even though we see more and more of them (especially Stelvio in my area), its design still pleases and does not age. It's normal, it's an Alfa Romeo.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I like about Alfa Romeo, and therefore the Giulia, is customization possibilities during configuration<\/strong>. It is possible to make a car either \"classy\" or \"sporty\" or even both thanks to the Ti or Sprint finishing packs, but also with the choice of different customization options: colors, rims, calipers, rear view mirror, interior, everything is customizable. You can have a black sedan with a sunroof, beige interior, black calipers and 19-inch wheels or a red sedan, yellow calipers, double exhaust and 21-inch wheels. Bottom line, you drive in an exclusive premium sedan because you won't see the same one as yours on every street corner<\/strong>or even in a whole city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the purposes of the test, the Giulia was a Ti trim with a\u00a0red color Villa d'Este 6C<\/strong>\u00a0(available mid-2020)\u00a0beautiful<\/strong>.
The 2020 vintage does not bring any visible change to the exterior<\/strong>\u00a0but a streamlining of the range and options so that your future\u00a0Giulia be easier to configure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
