Giulia, Super, and Speciale The base Giulia, mid-level Super, and fully loaded Speciale are powered by a 2-litre gasoline engine, or the choice of 136 PS, 150 PS or 180 PS 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine. The base model comes with 16-inch alloys, the Super can be distinguished with 17-inch alloys and dual chrome exhaust tip for the diesel model. The Speciale has 18-inch alloys, black brake calipers, as well as leather sports seats and sporty bumpers from the Veloce. Fixed rear seat is standard on the base and Super, while the Speciale has folding rear seat.
Sprint The Giulia Sprint is positioned above the base and Super model grades, but below the Ti and Veloce. In Europe, the early Giulia Sprint was powered by either the base 2.0 gasoline engine, or 180 PS 2.2-litre diesel engine. For 2020, the Sprint got the updated diesel engine with 190 PS. In North America, the Giulia Sprint was new for 2021 model year. It is the entry-level model although motored by the same engine as the Veloce. The diesel-powered Sprint was never offered in North America.
Ti and Veloce The Giulia Veloce was presented at the
2016 Paris International Motor Show held in October. The Veloce offers the choice of two engines: the 2.0-litre turbo petrol and the 2.2-litre diesel inline-4 engines, both equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and Alfa Q4 all-wheel drive system (rear-wheel-drive in the UK). The Veloce has specific bumpers and a glossy black door trim; it has also various performance components like special rear extractor with double exhaust pipes and optional 5-spoke 19-inch alloy wheels (the 19-inch option is not available in the UK). On the interior, it has black, red or tan leather sport seats and a sports steering wheel with a suede grip, aluminium inserts on the dashboard, central tunnel, door panels and Xenon headlights. The new four-cylinder petrol engine is rated at a maximum power output of at 5,250 rpm and a maximum torque of at 2,250 rpm. It has
MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve activation system along with "2-in-1" " turbocharger system and direct injection with a 200-bar high pressure system. The diesel all aluminium straight-4 engine comes with MultiJet II technology and electrically operated variable geometry
turbocharger. The Alfa Q4 all wheel drive system behaves like a rear-wheel drive vehicle: 100% of torque is distributed to the rear axle. As it reaches the wheel adherence limit, the system transfers up to 60% of the torque to the front axle. To ensure maximum speed of response in re-distributing torque, the system exploits a high mechanical over slippage (up to 2.5%) between the two axles, which translates into segment-beating vehicle control in terms of traction and directional stability on bends. Meanwhile, the Giulia Ti is the luxury-oriented version. It has chrome grille and window surrounds, heated steering wheel and front seats, wood panel interior, 18-inch alloy wheels, and headlight washers. Basically, it came with more features than the Sprint, but without paddle shift like in a Veloce. The North American Ti is powered by the 280 hp gasoline engine, while the European Ti was also offered with the 187 hp diesel engine. The Ti was also available with Lusso package which consists of Cannelloni leather interior, heated rear seat, and the choice of multi-spoke or optional "Y" shape 18-inch alloy wheels. With paddle shift, 19-inch 5-hole alloy wheels, sportier front and rear bumpers, the North American Ti Sport was roughly the equivalent of the Veloce, before it was officially called the Veloce for 2022 model year. The American Ti Sport Carbon or European Veloce Ti is basically the Veloce with carbon fiber mirror caps and body kits. Based on the Veloce, the Estrema was released in 2022 for 2023 model year. It came with standard active suspension, 19-inch alloy wheels, "Estrema" side emblems, Alcantara with red stitching seats, dashboard, steering wheel and shift knob, and 14-speakers Harman Kardon sound system. The Giulia Estrema is offered with either 280 PS gasoline engine, or 210 PS diesel engine matched to 8-speed automatic gearbox and Q4 all-wheel-drive system.
Quadrifoglio The top-of-the-line Giulia
Quadrifoglio (Italian for "
four-leaf clover") was the first model in the new Giulia range. It was unveiled in Italy in June 2015. It made its official international debut at the
2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Quadrifoglio's main competitors are the
Mercedes-AMG C63,
BMW M3, and the
Cadillac ATS-V. The Quadrifoglio is powered by an all-aluminium alloy,
twin-turbocharged gasoline direct injection 90°
690T V6 engine, with a single-cylinder displacement of just under half a litre, and is derived from Ferrari's own twin-turbocharged
F154 CB V8 engine, The engine has a maximum power output of at 6,500 rpm, The turbochargers are single-scroll compressor
IHI units integrated into the manifold, with water-charge air coolers. It has side-mounted direct and port fuel injection, and the peak turbo boost reaches up to relative pressure. With the inclusion of
cylinder deactivation (that switches off the right bank of three cylinders), The Quadrifoglio weighs and has a
power-to-weight ratio of /PS. Official factory "wet weight" is 1620 kg for the automatic gearbox version and 1580 kg for the manual version.
Weight distribution is 52.5% front, 47.5% rear. This is achieved courtesy of the Quadrifoglio sharing the other models' composite and light alloy construction, as well as featuring a roof and bonnet made of carbon fibre. and an 8-speed automatic transmission manufactured by
ZF, with a ZF six-speed
manual transmission A
dual-clutch transmission was initially announced The differential was changed to a mechanical limited slip for the 2024 model year. The braking system has the option of Ceramic Composite Material (CCM) carbon-ceramic rotors, and comes to a standstill from that speed in . The Quadrifoglio can attain a top speed of . This model equipped with a manual transmission completed the
Nürburgring's Nordschleife circuit in 7 minutes and 39 seconds, a record for a saloon car. In September 2016 a new lap record for the automatic transmission version was published: 7 minutes and 32 seconds.
Car and Driver magazine has recorded a standing quarter mile time of 11.9 seconds at and a 0 to acceleration time of 3.6 seconds.
Quadrifoglio NRING Edition At the
2018 Geneva Motor Show, the Alfa introduced the Giulia Quadrifoglio NRING Edition. The NRING edition has carbon-ceramic brakes, Sparco carbon fibre seats, carbon fibre interior trim, a Mopar-branded gear shifter, and
Mopar floor mats. The car is differentiated on the exterior by 'NRING' badges as well as carbon fibre mirror caps and side skirts and an exposed carbon fibre roof. The equipment was upgraded to include adaptive cruise control and a premium sound system.
Quadrifoglio Racing Edition At the
2019 Geneva Motor Show the Alfa Romeo Racing limited edition was introduced, which celebrates Alfa Romeo's legendary racing history and the entry of a new Italian driver in Formula 1 competition:
Antonio Giovinazzi joining the "Alfa Romeo Racing" team together with the 2007 F1 World Champion
Kimi Räikkönen. This special edition has exclusive paintwork, as a tribute to the
Alfa Romeo Racing C38 Formula 1 car. It has also some stylistic details like some carbon fibre aerodynamic parts and an
Akrapovič titanium exhaust system. The weight was reduced by about from the standard Quadrifoglio, followed by a technical tune-up by Alfa Romeo engineers that has resulted more torque and power, which now amounts to .
Giulia Advanced Efficiency At the
2016 Paris Motor Show the Giulia's economic version called "AE" - Advanced Efficiency was unveiled. The AE was available with the Giulia and Giulia Super trim levels, it has diesel engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The fuel consumption combines to and just 99 g/km of emissions in the combined cycle. It has some specific technical solutions to achieve these values like implementation of a low-pressure EGR valve that improves engine efficiency, an air-water intercooler, a secondary engine cooling circuit in addition to the primary circuit, and specific gearbox ratios. The height of the car's body is lowered by , it has specifically designed alloy wheels and the drag coefficient has been reduced to 0.23 for less drag force. The Giulia "AE" Advanced Efficiency is fitted with specific 205/60 R16 tyres for reducing rolling resistance. It was discontinued beginning with 2019 model year. models which would have a limited production run of 500 units. The GTA and GTAm versions are developed to celebrate the marque's 110th anniversary in 2020, and pay tribute to one of the most emblematic automobile of Alfa Romeo:
Giulia GTA. The GTA and GTAm use the same engine, rated at and are lighter than the Quadrifoglio, allowing for a power to weight ratio of 2.82 kg/PS. The GTAm weighs and the GTA weighs . The GTA and GTAm can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, with launch control. The GTAm is a track focused model and as a result has two seats, racing harnesses, and
Lexan side and rear windows. The GTA's handling was improved by widening the front and rear track by . The car is fitted with single nut wheels for weight reduction measures. Broader fenders cover the additional width. New springs, shocks, and bushings update the suspension as further means to improve the handling. Buyers will also receive a “personalized experience package” which includes a
Bell racing helmet in special GTA livery, a full racing suit by
Alpinestars, a personalized Goodwool car cover, and a specific driving course devised by the Alfa Romeo Driving Academy. ==Engines and performance==
