Alfa Romeo unveils the new Giulietta

The new Alfa Romeo Giulietta has been unveiled simultaneously in five locations across Europe, with the main event taking place in the Alfa Romeo Museum, Arese.

Further enhancing the range, following its extensive revision in 2014, the new Alfa Romeo Giulietta features revised front-end styling that includes a striking new honeycomb grille, piano black bumper inserts and revised headlamp and fog lamp surrounds.

The styling revisions are complemented by new badge designs, new alloy wheel designs, revised tail pipes, new colours (Alfa White and Lipari Grey) and a new engine and transmission combination. 

Inside the new Giulietta there are revised seat upholsteries, dashboard and door panel finishes, a Uconnect infotainment system now with smartphone-enabled LIVE services. Also debuting on the new Giulietta is Alfa Performance, a new service specifically created to enhance the driving experience. Using an array of digital gauges and instruments, drivers can control the main parameters of the car, measure their performance using special timers and see driving statistics on their smartphone, in addition to receiving real-time driving tips. 

Under the bonnet there's now the option of combining the 120bhp 1.6-litre JTDM-2 turbo diesel engine with the Alfa TCT twin dry-clutch transmission. Employing second generation MultiJet technology with a variable geometry turbo charger, this engine produces 120bhp and 320Nm of torque.

The new Alfa Romeo Giulietta's model range features five trim levels: Giulietta, Giulietta Super, Giulietta Tecnica, Giulietta Speciale and Gulietta Veloce, with a wide and varied range of engine choices, ranging from a 120bhp 1.4-litre turbo petrol all the way to a 240bhp 1750 turbo petrol engine, the most powerful in the Giulietta range.
