In 2015 the company Alfa Romeo presented to the public many years later the second generation Alfa Romeo Giulia 2018-2019. The premiere took place in the summer at the manufacturer's museum, it was the company's birthday and on that day it turned 105 years old.
A little less than a year later, at the Geneva Motor Show, world premiere, the model was slightly different, as it was converted to a civilian version. Sales began a few months later. The car belongs to class D.
It makes no sense to discuss the changes, since the difference between generations is more than 50 years. Therefore, we will simply tell you as much as possible about all aspects of the new machine.
Exterior
The model looks aggressive and modern, while maintaining the corporate identity. The front of the car received a hood with massive recesses and embossed lines. Narrow lights are installed, adding sportiness, they have LED filling, which cannot but rejoice. A branded, triangular false radiator grille is used, which at the same time has a chrome trim.
The massive bumper of the Giulia 2019 has received shapes that not only look beautiful, but also work well for aerodynamics. The bumper also has large air intakes, the task of which is to cool engine compartment and brake discs.
On the side, the car has no less attractive forms. Many people notice the similarity of forms with, and there really is a slight similarity. Very great attention attract disks and arches in which they are located, it is decorated stylishly and a little unusual. Also attracting attention is a massive recess in the lower and upper parts, this is also done for the most part for aerodynamics.
At the back, we notice a slightly rounded 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia trunk lid, which is fitted with a not-so-little carbon-fiber spoiler. It also uses stylish optics with a formidable design. The bumper attracts the most attention, it is not small, but at the same time it has a huge diffuser in the lower part. It has 2 large exhaust pipes on each side. It looks great and is, roughly speaking, mandatory attributes for a sports sedan.
Machine dimensions:
- length - 4639 mm;
- width - 1873 mm;
- height - 1426 mm;
- wheelbase- 2820 mm;
- clearance - 100 mm.
By the way, such a wheelbase allowed the model to become one of the most spacious in its class, which will also please the owners.
Interior
The interior decoration also cannot but rejoice, because everything is very high quality, good materials are used, the design itself is also excellent. In general, the manufacturer used to make almost the same interior on all his cars, but now he has moved away from this and this is good.
Traditionally, we start with a discussion seats Alfa Romeo Giulia 2019. Front passengers will get on excellent sports seats, which are made entirely of carbon fiber at the back, and leather and Alcantara upholstery at the front. Alcantara is predominantly used. Lateral support is great free space is also sufficient.
The rear row is designed for three passengers, the passenger in the middle will be a little uncomfortable, but in general the space and comfort are at a good level. The rear sofa is also sheathed in a bunch of leather and Alcantara. For rear passengers, there are two air deflectors in the middle.
Doors Alfa Romeo Giulia 2018 are sheathed in leather, have chrome and carbon inserts, it looks especially beautiful in the area of the door opening handle. There is a small pocket at the bottom, unfortunately without a bottle shape.
The driver will control the sedan with the help of a sports 3-spoke steering wheel, sheathed in the same way as the seats. That is, it has carbon, leather and Alcantara, which is unusual and cool. On the steering wheel, according to the tradition of most auto manufacturers, there are buttons for controlling the multimedia system.
There is a large red button on the steering wheel to start the engine, which is unusual, but most likely inconvenient.
The instrument panel has a sporty look, it constantly encourages the driver to an aggressive driving style. In fact, it consists of two huge analog speedometer and tachometer sensors, between which there is a 7-inch on-board computer with great functionality.
The dashboard Alfa Romeo Giulia 2019 is also sheathed in high-quality leather with red stitching. The center console is rotated a small degree towards the driver, which improves ergonomics. Touch screen on the top multimedia system diagonal 8.4 inches. On this screen there's just a bunch useful information about the car. Further, everything looks simple, but in a general style. These are air deflectors and a climate control unit, everything is intuitive.
The tunnel is mostly made of carbon fiber, it has a niche with cup holders. We also see a small gear selector, near which there are three washers, this is the adjustment of driving style, music volume and general multimedia. At the end of the tunnel is the armrest.
Price Alfa Romeo Giulia 2018
The car is offered to the buyer in just two trim levels, the base will cost 35,000 euros. By the way, in Russia the model is not yet sold and most likely will not be. The fastest version and in fact the most expensive is called Quadrifoglio Verde, and it costs at least 79,000 euros.
IN the best modification Lots of cool equipment, including:
- full LED headlights;
- dashboard display;
- display on the center console;
- keyless access;
- navigation system;
- 6 airbags;
- separate climate control.
This is not all, there are many more systems whose task is to ensure your safety. By the way test Euro NCAP checked the car and gave it the maximum safety rating of 5 stars. These are the systems:
- pre-fill;
- help start uphill;
- automatic braking in an emergency;
- lane control;
- system control of the dead zones;
- fully circular view of the car.
In addition to all this, there are also additional options, but they are few, these are sports seats and ceramic brakes.
Specifications of Julia
| Type | Volume | Power | Torque | Overclocking | Max Speed | Number of cylinders |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diesel | 2.1 l | 150 HP | 450 H*m | 8.2 sec. | 220 km/h | 4 |
| Diesel | 2.1 l | 180 HP | 380 H*m | 7.1 sec. | 230 km/h | 4 |
| Petrol | 2.9 l | 510 HP | 600 H*m | 3.9 sec. | 307 km/h | V6 |
Now the model essentially has three engines, the first two are for people who want this sedan for ordinary city driving, and the third is sporty.
The first engine is a diesel engine with undivided combustion chambers. It also has a turbocharger and a volume of 2.1 liters. This allows him to issue 150 Horse power and 450 H*m of torque. With it, the car will accelerate to the first hundred in 8 seconds, and maximum speed will be limited to 220 km/h. It also boasts a low consumption of only 5 liters in the city.
The second engine does not have much technical differences from the previous one, but it produces 30 more horsepower, while the torque is 70 H * m less. Despite this, the engineers managed to reduce the acceleration of the Alfa Romeo Giulia 2018 by 1 second, while maintaining fuel consumption.
Now we will tell you about the most powerful unit that is installed on the Quadrifoglio Verde version. This is a 2.9-liter turbocharged V6 petrol. It was borrowed from another Italian car, namely . It produces 510 horsepower, accelerating the sedan to hundreds in 4 seconds, while the maximum speed is 307 km / h. It will not consume as little as the previous ones, but still, a consumption of 12 liters for such a motor is not such a high figure.
Giulia motors are paired with a 6-speed mechanical box gears, or with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Both boxes transmit the moment completely to rear axle. The units also have a DBA driving mode control system. The front suspension is paired and has double wishbones. Rear multi-link system.
All this allows the model to achieve excellent handling, plus here ideal weight distribution 50 to 50. Also, the model slows down quite well, here it is completely disc brakes with ventilation in the front. Expensive equipment will receive a ceramic system with an Integrated Brake System function and an active rear differential.
Outcome
As a conclusion, I would like to say that Italian manufacturer really created luxury sedan which can compete German cars giants. The manufacturer plans to sell more than 50 thousand models a year. Will wait and see if Alfa Romeo Giulia 2016 can really compete with BMW and Mercedes.

Presentation - new Alfa Romeo Giulia 2016-2017
If you take a closer look at the car, you can easily find confirmation of the words of the Alfa Romeo bosses. It is obvious that the car is wanted and will be compared with its classmate from Germany, the BMW M3, and according to the first impressions of the test drivers, the Italian has a better chance of winning. Note that this year the opponent has been updated. In Russia, the Italian supercar will be available only in a rear-wheel drive format.
Like all the new items expected by fans in automotive industry, the car will be officially presented on Frankfurt Auto Show in Germany, in mid-September of this year. Naturally, many wealthy people will immediately want to buy a chic gift for themselves, but those will have to wait until the spring of 2016, it is during this period that the start of mass sales falls.
Design Alfa Romeo Giulia 2015-2016
At a time when it has become fashionable for manufacturers to be similar in their decisions to each other, the Italian brand continues to dictate its ideas and desires. The novelty is made in a sporty style and this can be seen in every detail of its exterior. In the front part there are two false radiator grilles that wind up the image of aggressiveness and determination.
Alpha Julia 2016-2017, front view
Along with the aggressiveness in the design, notes of Italian elegance can be traced. In every bend of the body, in every smooth line, you can see the handwriting of professionals who have worked for a long time to create such a miracle. A small trunk lid, an unusual spoiler, a voluminous bumper and two pipes from the exhaust system are conveniently located behind.
No matter how ultra-modern and evolved the car is, the new Alfa Romeo Giulia, echoes of past models are felt in its figure.
The images of past models were very incomparable, and when they were all combined into one, what we used to call perfection came out. The body of the novelty has become more rigid, and the curb weight has decreased significantly, due to the fact that the doors and wings of the rear are made of aluminum alloys, and the roof, hood and cardan shaft made of high quality materials and heavy duty steel.
Alfa Giulia 2016-2017 side view
If we assume that the car will be all-wheel drive and install the most powerful engine, then its weight will not pass the mark of one and a half tons. The LEDs on the back make the headlights shine in dark time days brighter and it gives a feeling of reliability and security.
The headlights look quite large, but still perfectly harmonize with all the details on the front of the car. At any time of the day, they will not let the driver down, because they are made of modern materials and high-class specialists who will not allow their creation to work the wrong way.

Most inserts are made of genuine leather (although there are artificial inserts), decorative elements are made of aluminum or carbon fiber. The seats are as comfortable as possible, but this is not their main feature. Like others modern cars, Giulia chairs have heating, various massage options and much more. They are embroidered as modern as possible and fit perfectly into the atmosphere of the sports salon.

Dimensions alfa giulia
On this moment there are no exact sizes and figures, as there is very little information. But according to preliminary estimates, we should expect the average Italian size of a sports car. Due to the inflated shapes on the sides, the sedan will seem rather wide and take up a lot of space in its lane while driving.
Length exceeds dimensions previous models, but the excess is insignificant.
Since it sports sedan, you should not expect a large amount of luggage space.

Video presentation of Alfa Romeo Giulia 2016-2017:
Alfa Romeo Giulia 2015-2016 photo:
Yes, it's an Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce! Our date is only one day long. But will this day be the most memorable of all summer? After all, this "beauty" has everything to fall in love with at first sight: a well-known name, original appearance, decent size (I'm talking about power - 280 "horses"). Everyone, get your wallet? ...
They messed up, jumped, kayfonuli
On an unexpectedly chilly morning, two manager guys hand me an Alfa Romeo Giulia. It seems that they are worried: Alfa does not even have 400 km on the odometer, and indeed, this is its first “outing”, that is, to the media. "Pretty Woman" dressed up: Veloce lettering on the sidewalls and a dual exhaust with a diffuser indicate a "heated" 280-horsepower version, put on "stilettos" - 18-inch wheel disks With Goodyear tires Eagle Asymmetric 3 Run Flat. In the guise of not a single extra line and not a single extra millimeter: with a length of 4.64 m and a wheelbase of 2.82 m, Alfa Romeo Giulia is right in the center of the D-Premium segment adored by marketers - it's like a university where everyone wants to send their child parent.
in appearanceAlpha Romeo Giuliathe main thing is originality. The front part remained incomprehensible to me because of the almond-shaped headlights, but rear end and the overall silhouette of the body are beautiful. Details are remembered: for example, turbine rims or dual exhaust and a small diffuser. Everyone turned to this car: a rare and luxurious “thing”!
Shall we ride? I sit down in the salon and wonder at the steering wheel with the engine start button under the left hand. The right hand at this moment rests on the selector lever of the 8-speed "automatic", which is very similar to BMW: well, not a bad object to follow. Nearby is already a typical “Alpha thing” in the form of a ring for selecting driving modes “Alfa DNA”: position “d” is Dynamic, “n” is Normal, “a” is All Weather. I am glad that the positions are fixed: you can select a dynamic mode and ride in it until you snap the ring back.
And believe me - you will drive in a dynamic mode all the time: another Alfa Romeo Giulia simply does not accept! Gas to the floor, a small pause at the start - but from 2.5-3 thousand rpm, the turbine starts whistling a melody of joy, and the beauty Giulia starts dancing! And in the truest sense of these words: a light but sharp steering wheel (from lock to lock about 2.2 turns) provides instant rebuilding. Add the assembled suspension, which allows almost no roll - and this means that you can literally be in the next row on the road in one careless sneeze. At first it seems terribly interesting, but comprehending such behavior, I just can not come to the final decision, which word in the phrase "terribly interesting" is defining.
A click into the dynamic mode - and everything fell into place: Alfa Romeo Giulia “gathered”, the speed increased (the automatic transmission dropped one gear), the steering wheel became heavier and no longer allows frivolous vibrations. Let's fly! We soar over bumps, revel in power (the main thing is not to lower the tachometer needle below 3 thousand), sing about obedience and suspension work. I forget about headlights, price, consumption. I almost forgot about my wife...
SalonAlpha Romeo Giuliagreat for the driver: a cockpit with a classic-round steering wheel, a deep and low landing in sports chairs(even with adjustable side support rollers!), speed indication in italics on the display, convenient “automatic” joystick, system ringAlpha DNA, round ventilation deflectors… Even the overhead console is beautifully and stylishly designed. But the wife sat in the passenger seat, looked around the cabin in the style of "different grades of black and gray plastic" - and issued: "not impressive." Jealous?
It is no longer possible to drive at a normal pace. Talking about a car comes down to talking about practicality. She - Alfa Romeo Giulia - does not understand this. There is enough space for rear passengers in almost all dimensions: for the head, in width, there is room for the knees. But when it comes to the little things, everything gets worse: there are no ventilation deflectors, but there is a huge transmission tunnel. There's also little room for feet under the low base of the front seats. Similarly, with the trunk: it is on this point. Because there are no niche pockets (only one small shelf), just as there is no spare wheel (only a repair kit). And Alfa Romeo Giulia constantly kicks painfully on those small pits that we just recently flew under the roar of the turbine ... I put on studs, and you made me carry shopping bags from the supermarket ?! Get it, maniaco sporco!
I'm trying to apologize in the form of refueling. But it seems that Alfa Romeo Giulia was also jealous and decided to specifically pour the bitterness of everyday life: from brief observations, the consumption is at least 12.5-13 liters in the city, and with dynamic driving, all 15 liters. As a result, during normal driving, Giulia drinks pretty well, doesn’t really pull “on the motor”, but decently shakes on trifles (thanks tires Run Flat, yeah). "Alfa" wants to dance - and she was forced to peel potatoes and cook soup for the arrival of relatives ...
The rear is not to say that it is crowded, but there are not enough ventilation deflectors and space for the feet. Here the rule “You are being taken toAlpha Romeo– here and rejoice. Similarly, with the trunk: well, it is - that's it, period. To the credit of the car, I’ll note that let it shake on “little things” (here I blame 18-inch wheels and tires moreRun Flat), but on medium and large irregularities (where the springs and shock absorbers work), everything remains at an acceptable level - harsh, elastic, collected, but nothing more.
The Alfa Romeo Giulia model is completely about emotions: to twist feelings to the maximum and live on the edge, at the peak, on the verge of perception. Think thrice if you are ready for such a life every day. Just don't fool yourself - otherwise, instead of driving pleasure, you will constantly ask yourself: why all this? However, if you firmly say "YES" at your first meeting, then be sure - Giulia not only justifies itself, but also truly gives the driver a sense of unity with the car.
Female name - male technique
The Alfa Romeo Giulia was built on a new chassis known as the Giorgio and is today used to build the largest and most powerful cars brands - for example, I also note the Stelvio crossover. This platform and chassis are distinguished by the wide use of various materials to facilitate the construction: aluminum in the suspension and subframes, carbon fiber propshaft. Hence the lightness of the car: for the test model Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce, the curb weight is only 1.43 tons (although 1.6 tons is treacherously written in the data sheet, but in general this is also not much, as for a 4.6-meter sedan with all-wheel drive). Due to the strong displacement of the motor towards the center of the wheelbase, a 50/50 weight distribution between the front / rear axle was achieved. Suspension front independent 2-lever, rear - multi-link, brakes - disc "in a circle".
The chassis is always identical: a strong displacement of the motor to the center of the wheelbase, independent suspensions and disc brakes "in a circle", rigid body with extensive use of aluminum, there are even some carbon elements. A close look will notice stretch marks-amplifiers under the hood. Mainly rear-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is also offeredQ4 with an emphasis on the rear axle. Engines differ significantly: the base and medium versions get a 4-cylinder 2-liter engine with a turbine, the maximum version - a gasoline turbo engineV6 with a volume of 2.9 liters, which is designedFerrari AndMaserati. We don't have diesel engines. Which, by the way, leads to a conversation about different versions models that are available for Ukraine.
Different versions of Alfa Romeo Giulia: what are they?
Generally speaking, there are many various versions Alfa Romeo Giulia: petrol or diesel engines, rear or four-wheel drive, "mechanics" or "automatic", various configurations. For Ukraine, three variants of the car were chosen, which are a sort of “package offers”: with them it is easier in terms of logistics and self-determination of the client with what to choose.
So, test car- this is Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce: 2.0 l 280 hp petrol turbo engine, Q4 all-wheel drive, 8-speed. automatic transmission. Equipment includes the following: Alfa DNA system, six airbags, rearview camera, bi-xenon headlights, 2-zone climate control, sports seats“in leather” and a sports steering wheel, Alfa Connect multimedia system, dual separate exhaust and diffuser, 18-inch wheels, lane control, emergency braking warning system, etc. The price of such a car is about 1.3 million UAH. or about $48 thousand.
Under the hood is a gasoline 2-liter turbo engine with 280 hp: although I think its potential “at the top” is a little higher: a large turbine hints at this (although this is the reason for the turbo lag up to 2.5-3 thousand) and large air ducts. All versionsAlpha Romeo Giuliain Ukraine receive a systemAlpha Connect: 6.5 inch color display, clear menu, separate and convenient control joystick. But no supportApple carplayAndAndroid Auto. And the picture of the rear view camera is displayed in a small window the size of only half the display. But this camera is available in all versions for Ukraine.
A step below the Veloce is the Alfa Romeo Giulia Super version: a 2.0-liter gasoline turbo engine with 200 hp, rear-wheel drive, 8-speed. automatic transmission. The package is similar, but the headlights and seats are normal (although the latter are still upholstered in leather), and the rims are now 17-inch. The price is about UAH 1.15 million or about $42.5 thousand. And the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Verde version is a step higher: the same 510-horsepower 2.9-liter V6 turbo engine, a smart rear differential, a sports saloon And exhaust system for four branch pipes, plus almost all the items of equipment that are possible for the Giulia model in principle. Price - about 100 thousand euros, sale only on order.
Three versions of the car are offered for Ukrainian buyers. Two main ones are usually in warehouses in Ukraine -Super(200 hp and rear wheel drive) orVeloce(280 hp and four-wheel drive). One exclusive -quadrifoglio Verdewith a capacity of 510 "horses" - it is supplied only on order. The latter is priced so highly that it turns out to be more expensivebmw M3. True, such an "Alpha" immediately offers a package on an "all inclusive" basis.
The question is not even the price, but how loudly the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Verde "twists" the adjustment of emotionality. Because a brief acquaintance with the Alfa Romeo Giulia shows that it cannot be approached with traditional requests - this car can either be hated or loved. There is no third.
Car provided -
The international debut of Alfa Romeo Giulia took place at the annual Geneva Motor Show in 2016, and in the summer, the first cars appeared in the pavilions of European dealers. The novelty received an expressive and memorable appearance. She has stylish elongated headlights with linzovannaya optics and LED sections of daytime running lights.

Such a small clearance is characteristic of sports cars. They hold the road perfectly, they screw even into the most sharp turns and due to the low center of gravity are less prone to rollover. However, due to the low ground clearance, there is a high chance of damage to underbody units or body kit elements while driving on public roads.

Video
This car was first presented to the public last spring. The new model is premium sedan, which is distinguished by both a bright appearance and a beautifully executed interior. Alfa Romeo Giulia 2018 is also going to conquer everyone with its technical data, which, by the way, are on par with many sports cars.
One of several trump cards of the car is the exterior. He really succeeded, as the model combines both conciseness and aggression. The front part turned out to be quite smooth, the hood is only slightly embellished with a relief in the form of a ledge in the center. The bumper with body kit is a single unit and includes three air intakes - a branded triangular one in the center and two rectangular ones on the sides, located a little closer to the edge. Also, a beautiful view of the car is achieved thanks to the massive acute-angled optics, filled with either LEDs or xenon.
The side of the car has changed quite a bit. Restyling brought here only new, more functional mirrors, sporty look a skirt and a small indentation on the doors just below the handles.
The rear bumper is beautiful, whatever one may say. New body here it also perfectly combines aggression and a representative look. It all starts with a small trunk, the lid of which protrudes a little in the form of an aerodynamic wing at the end. Further, there is the same sharp and long optics with high-quality filling as in the front, and everything ends with a massive body kit, from which two wide exhaust pipes stick out.

As you can see from the photo, the center console is dominated by interesting view multimedia monitor, with the help of which almost all the functionality available in the car is activated and configured. Below it is a row of deflectors, and even lower is a small panel with air conditioning settings.
The tunnel is directly connected to the torpedo. This is done with a hole for wireless charging gadgets hidden under the shutter. The tunnel itself is quite wide and set high. On it you can find a huge variety of various comfort elements - from coasters and openings for things, to a multifunctional armrest with a refrigeration unit. In the very center is the gear selector and a pair of washers to select the driving mode.
The steering wheel seems unrealistically thin, both steering wheel and spokes. But even a small width did not prevent the designers from stuffing a number of buttons here that are responsible for setting up the machine's functionality. Impressed and the instrument panel. It takes up quite a lot of space. Along its edges are semicircular visors, under which the main sensors are hidden - a speedometer with a tachometer. The rest of the space between them is filled with a multifunctional on-board computer monitor.
The chairs are made of fine leather and are very soft. Thanks to the division into several parts that can be adjusted independently of each other, the seats will provide the maximum level of comfort for each passenger. There is also heating with ventilation. The second row is no less beautiful, but is designed for only two people.
