Alfa Romeo Giulietta
“Ahead of the car’s European market debut in May, new details of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta were released today. The five-door 147 replacement will be available with five different turbocharged four-cylinder engines when it goes on sale.
Amongst these is the 232 bhp 1750 TBi petrol powerhouse that will be featured on the Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde. The direct-injection model has a “revolutionary scavenging control system” that reduces turbo lag.
Other petrol engines featured include a 118 bhp 1.4-liter, and a 1.4-liter Multiair that produces 168 bhp. The two second-generation MultiJet turbodiesels include the 1.6-liter model that produces 104 bhp, and the 168 bhp 2.0-liter unit.
All engines are fitted with Start/Stop to improve fuel consumption and reduce emissions. The engines are mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, though some of the units will be available with a dual-clutch automatic.
Other features include LED daytime runners in the front headlights, rear LED light clusters, and an ergonomically-designed interior. The car’s dashboard is a replica design of that found on the 8C Competizione.
The Giulietta has three different driving modes - All weather, Normal, and Dynamic - the driver can select through the Alfa DNA unit, which adjusts items like the suspension and electronic differential. The car will be supplied with 16-inch rims that may be upgraded to alloys, 17-inchers, or 18-inch wheels. Customers who buy the Quadrifoglio Verde get the 17-inch wheels standard.
When the Alfa Romeo Giulietta is released, new car buyers will be able to choose from two trim levels and two options packages. You can read more about the car in the press release below.”
