Alfa Romeo Giulia (2015)#GTA and GTAm

In 2013 Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne requested a clean-sheet design for the next Alfa Romeo—a rear-wheel drive sports saloon to help return the company to its roots. He appointed former technical director at Ferrari and chassis engineer for the 458 Speciale Philippe Krief as chief engineer for the Giulia, and asked him to assemble a team of ten to create the Giulia, to be designed and built in two and a half years.{{Cite web |last=McNamara |first=Phil |date=10 July 2015 |title=Seven surprises on new Alfa Romeo Giulia revealed by chief engineer |url=https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/industry-news/alfa-romeo/seven-surprises-on-new-alfa-romeo-giulia-revealed-by-chief-engineer/ |website=CAR Magazine |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Walton |first=Mark |date=November 2015 |title=Ten good men and Giulia |url=https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/features/car-culture/ten-good-men-and-giulia-car-november-2015/ |website=CAR Magazine |language=en}} Krief oversaw the development of the Giulia, along with the platform that underpins it—Giorgio. This is an all-new, longitudinal-engine, rear-wheel drive platform developed by Alfa Romeo.

The Giulia had a long gestation and delayed launch due to Marchionne sending its design back to the drawing board.{{cite web |url=http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/Secret-new-cars/Search-Results/Spyshots/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-2014-CAR-Magazines-new-scoop/ |first=Tim |last=Pollard |title=Alfa Romeo Giulia (2014): CAR Magazine's new scoop |website=Car |date=23 July 2012 |access-date=16 January 2015}}

The new Giulia was unveiled to the press at the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo in Arese, on 24 June 2015, at an event which involved only the top-of-the-range Quadrifoglio variant and a rendition of "Nessun dorma" by Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli.{{cite web |url=http://www.lastampa.it/2015/06/25/multimedia/motori/per-la-nuova-giulia-bocelli-canta-nessun-dorma-g1KwwzfgjSOcfkRTP6jNaL/pagina.html |title=Per la nuova Giulia Bocelli canta "Nessun dorma" |trans-title=For the new Giulia Bocelli sings "Nessun Dorma" |website=La Stampa |date=25 June 2015 |language=it |access-date=8 August 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170802081025/http://www.lastampa.it/2015/06/25/multimedia/motori/per-la-nuova-giulia-bocelli-canta-nessun-dorma-g1KwwzfgjSOcfkRTP6jNaL/pagina.html |archive-date=2 August 2017 |url-status=dead }} The occasion coincided with the company's 105th anniversary, and also saw the company debut a restyled logo for all future Alfa Romeo models.{{cite web |url=http://www.alvolante.it/news/alfa-romeo-giulia-gli-interni-341872 |title=Alfa Romeo Giulia: gli interni|trans-title=Alfa Romeo Giulia: the interior |website=alvolante.it |date=26 June 2015 |language=it |access-date=26 June 2015}} The Giulia was also presented under the new La meccanica delle emozioni slogan ("the mechanics of emotions" in Italian).{{cite web |url=http://www.alfaromeo.com/com/alfa-thevoiceofgiulia |title=Alfa Romeo USA | Official Alfa Romeo Website |website=alfaromeo.com |access-date=31 July 2015}}

The Giulia is the first model in the company's relaunch plan, which involves a €5 billion investment for an eight car line-up and a worldwide sales target of 400,000 by 2018—up from 74,000 in 2013.{{cite web |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/with-new-alfa-romeo-sedan-fiat-chrysler-looks-for-rebirth-of-a-brand-1435172384 |title=With New Luxury Sedan, Fiat Chrysler Looks for Rebirth of a Brand |first=Eric |last=Sylvers |website=The Wall Street Journal |date=24 June 2015 |access-date=25 June 2015}}{{cite web |url=http://blog.caranddriver.com/alfa-romeo-5-year-plan-awdrwd-lineup-and-8-new-products-by-2018-semi-autonomy-from-fiat-chrysler/ |title=Alfa Romeo 5-Year Plan: AWD/RWD Lineup and 8 New Products by 2018, Semi-Autonomy from Fiat-Chrysler |first1=Alexander |last1=Stoklosa |first2=Andrew |last2=Wendler |website=Car and Driver |date=6 May 2015 |access-date=25 June 2015 |archive-date=15 March 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150315052903/http://blog.caranddriver.com/alfa-romeo-5-year-plan-awdrwd-lineup-and-8-new-products-by-2018-semi-autonomy-from-fiat-chrysler/ |url-status=dead }}

The Giulia uses a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, targeting an even 50% front and 50% rear weight distribution. Suspension is independent all-around—double wishbone with a semi-virtual steering axis front and multilink rear.{{Cite web |date=December 12, 2018 |title=The secrets of Alfa Romeo driving dynamics |url=https://www.media.stellantis.com/uploads/me/ME/2018/Alfa-Romeo/Files/121218_Accademia_Di_Guida_Alfa_Romeo_E.pdf |website=Stellantis |publisher=Alfa Romeo Driving Academy}} All Giulia models employ a carbon-fibre drive shaft made by Hitachi Automotive Systems,{{cite web|url=http://www.hitachi.com/New/cnews/month/2016/04/160426a.html|title=News Releases : April 26, 2016 : Hitachi Global|website=www.Hitachi.com|access-date=30 April 2019}} as well as aluminium alloy shock towers, suspension components, front wings, and doors.{{cite web |url=http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/alfa-giulia-will-the-plan-succeed-2015-06-25 |title=Opinion: will Alfa's masterplan succeed? |first=Paul |last=Horrell |website=topgear.com |date=25 June 2015 |access-date=25 June 2015 |archive-date=26 June 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626104054/http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/alfa-giulia-will-the-plan-succeed-2015-06-25 |url-status=dead }} All-wheel drive is offered in non-Quadrifoglio models.{{cite web |url=http://www.caranddriver.com/news/2017-alfa-romeo-giulia-photos-and-info-news |title=2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia: A Stunning Sports Sedan Headed for America |first=Tony |last=Quiroga |website=Car and Driver |date=24 June 2015 |access-date=25 June 2015}} The Giulia has a drag coefficient of {{cd|0.28}}.{{cite web|url=https://www.carthrottle.com/post/drag-coefficients-explained-which-kind-of-car-is-slippiest/|title=Drag Coefficients Explained: Which Kind Of Car Is Slippiest?|website=carthrottle.com|date=31 December 2016 |access-date=15 November 2019}}{{Cite web |title=2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Specifications |url=https://www.alfaromeo.ca/documents/alfaromeo/specifications/2020-alfaromeo-giulia-specifications-en.pdf |website=Alfa Romeo}}

The Guardian, testing a two-litre petrol model, described the Giulia as a "midsize executive car" and "a counterpoint" to the Audi A4, BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The Daily Telegraph, reviewing a Veloce Ti model fitted with the optional Performance Pack, called it a "sports saloon" and compared it "compact executive" competitors such as the Audi S4, BMW M340i, Mercedes-AMG C 43, and Jaguar XE S, noting that the Giulia was sold with what they considered a better warranty than those rival products.{{Cite news|url= https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/alfa-romeo/alfa-romeo-giulia-veloce-ti-review-finally-alternative-default/ |title= 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce Ti review: finally, an alternative to the default German performance saloons |last= Robbins |first= Alex |date= 29 October 2019 |access-date= 29 March 2023 |work= The Daily Telegraph |url-access=subscription}} The Sunday Times compared the Quadrifoglio Verde model they reviewed to the BMW M3, and implied it to be "a mid-sized, four-door car". Regarding the exterior design, the Guardian said "lines flow from the shield-shaped grill past the unusual rimless headlamps and make the car appear elegantly stretched" before saying "the wedged tail is topped by a curvaceous lip and flat-topped lamps", while the Sunday Times criticised the driver's door, saying it "is either too small or in the wrong place."

The Guardian said that the driving experience was "lovely", while the Sunday Times said "it's an absolute joy to drive. The steering is fast — there are only two turns lock to lock" and that the optional carbon-ceramic disc brakes "were tuned perfectly." The Daily Telegraph described the steering as "remarkably quick, but without that artificial off-centre dartiness that’s so often engineered into modern steering systems." The Sunday Times said that the {{convert|58|L|impgal usgal|adj=on}} fuel tank is "not quite big enough" and that the 2.9-litre V6 engine in the model they reviewed is "smooth and magnificently sonorous".{{Cite news|url= https://www.driving.co.uk/car-reviews/clarkson-review-alfa-romeo-giulia-quadrifoglio-verde/ |work= The Sunday Times |date= 26 July 2016 |last= Clarkson |first= Jeremy |title= The Clarkson review: 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Verde |access-date= 29 March 2023}}

Regarding the interior, The Sunday Times said "the quality of the interior fittings is not as good as you might expect" at the price point. They also found it hard to see which button on the steering wheel was which in dark conditions, and described the optional carbon front seats in their test car as "enormous" and "very comfortable" while noting that they limited space for rear passengers. The Guardian called it "generously luxurious."{{Cite news|url= https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/dec/03/alfa-romeo-giulia-review-lovely-drive-brawny-yet-sweet-tempered-italian |title= Alfa Romeo Giulia: 'A lovely drive, brawny yet sweet-tempered' |work= The Guardian |last= Love |first= Martin |date= 3 December 2017 |access-date= 29 March 2023}} The Daily Telegraph said "the quality of the plastics used is still slightly behind those of its competitors" and "you never feel short of space in the front. The rear seats offer enough room, too" while noting that the switches and instruments are more intuitive than in previous Alfa Romeo models. The Independent, reviewing a Sprint model in 2021, made note of the updated centre-console screen, saying that it is "partly touch, partly operated by a rotary dial in the console, which is OK and probably safer than doing the whole thing like an iPad."{{Cite news|url= https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/motoring/car-review-alfa-romeo-giulia-sprint-b1824318.html |title= Car review: The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint is a very lovable car |last= O'Grady |first= Sean |date= 3 April 2021 |access-date= 29 March 2023 |work= The Independent}}

The base Giulia, mid-level Super, and fully loaded Speciale are powered by a {{cvt|200|PS|kW hp|0}} 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.

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. {{cite web|url=https://moparinsiders.com/the-sprint-nameplate-returns-to-the-2021-alfa-romeo-giulia/|title=The Sprint Nameplate Returns To The 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia: New Name, New Packages For Entry-Level Giulia...|date=18 December 2020}}

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).{{citation needed|date= March 2023}}

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.{{citation needed|date= March 2023}}

The new four-cylinder petrol engine is rated at a maximum power output of {{cvt|280|PS|kW hp|0}} at 5,250 rpm and a maximum torque of {{cvt|400|Nm|lb·ft|0}} 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 {{cvt|210|PS|kW hp|0}} diesel all aluminium straight-4 engine comes with MultiJet II technology and electrically operated variable geometry turbocharger.{{citation needed|date= March 2023}}

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.Fiat Chrysler Automobiles EMEA Press: [http://www.alfaromeopress.com/press/article/118134] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161106152103/http://www.alfaromeopress.com/press/article/118134|date=2016-11-06}} the Giulia Veloce with Q4 system behaves like a rear-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 drive torque to the front axle in real time, thanks to a dedicated transfer case. To ensure maximum speed of response in re-distributing torque, the system exploits a high mechanical over slippage (up to 2.5%) between the Quadrifoglio with an optional carbon fibre pack and standard 19-inch alloys from the Quadrifoglio.{{Primary source inline|date=March 2023}}

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.

The top-of-the-line Giulia Quadrifoglio (Italian for "four-leaf clover") was the first model in the new Giulia range. It was unveiled at 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 Alfa Romeo Giulia QV Is Going To Crush The Competition: [http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2017/1/2/The-Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-QV-Is-Going-To-Crush-The-Competition-7737152/ Mercedes-AMG C63, BMW M3, and Cadillac ATS-V], access-date: 5.

From the front, the Quadrifoglio distinguishes itself from the rest of the range by a specific front bumper — with a carbon fibre splitter and enlarged air intakes for the added radiators (additional air-to-water intercooler on the right and additional engine cooling radiator on the left) and for the brakes — and by a bonnet featuring two cooling outlets for the engine bay. The front fenders have air vents and bear Quadrifoglio badges; the side skirts are specific to the model, as are the 19-inch cast or forged alloy wheels. At the rear, a low-profile carbon fibre lip-spoiler is applied to the boot lid, and a rear diffuser makes up the lower half of the bumper, flanked by quadruple exhaust tips. Working in conjunction with the faired-in underside, the diffuser is fully functional in generating downforce — as at the front is the "Active Aero Splitter", which lowers by 10 degrees between {{cvt|100|and|230|km/h|mph}} in Dynamic or Race modes.

In May 2024, Alfa Romeo released the Quadrifoglio Super Sport version of Giulia and Stelvio. This limited edition of 275 units Giulia and 175 units Stelvio are built to celebrate Alfa Romeo's first Mille Miglia victory in 1928 with an Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 Super Sport. These Super Sport editions are to be marketed globally, and available in 3 colors: Rosso Etna (red), Nero Vulcano (black), and for the Giulia only Bianco Alfa (white).

Like the facelift regular Giulia Quadrifoglio, the Super Sport is also powered by the 520 PS engine and has standard mechanical limited-slip differential and Synaptic Dynamic Control (SDSC) suspension, as well as the Akrapovič exhaust system like the one of the Giulia GTA.

The Super Sport comes with the "V" grille, side mirror caps, and trunk spoiler made of carbon fiber, and Quadrifoglio logo with black background. Dark 19-inch alloy wheels and black brake calipers are also standard.

The interior of Super Sport features red carbon fiber on the dashboard, door trims, and center console. The black leather seats have red stitching, and on the front headrests, there are red Alfa Romeo logo and "Super Sport" stitching, as well as the black numbering stitching to certify this limited-edition model. The steering wheel is upholstered in leather and Alcantara with carbon fiber accent. {{cite web|url= https://www.topgear.com/car-news/first-look/want-even-rarer-giulia-or-stelvio-quadrifoglio-these-super-sport-variants-are|title=Want an even rarer Giulia or Stelvio Quadrifoglio?
