Alpha Romeo Giulia- the first car produced as part of the next program of the next revival of a chronically unprofitable brand. According to the executive director of the FCA alliance ( Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) by Sergio Marchionne, by 2018Eight new models will be introduced to the market this year, and the output will reach 400,000 cars per year. An even more ambitious goal is to settle in the premium segment of suchas durable as BMW, Mercedes or Audi. For the development of the department Alfa Romeo the alliance is ready to spend a fabulous five billion euros! This is a little more than the amount that was required to establish 100% control over the Chrysler corporation ...
See what a beauty!
Well, if not the mafia, but the family is something sacred, immortal. And I presented the dialogue on the deck of a yacht that had departed from Palermo.
“Listen, brother Silvio, you heard that the Germans are asking for our sister's hand in marriage. They came from Munich, from Wolfsburg. There were also Americans. Of course, I sent them, but they will come again... You don't want our sister to go to the panel either, do you? Ten billion line of credit.
- Bratello Sergio, didn't I tell you that it's enough to play on promotions, and it's time to start production? You asked my advice when you registered a company not in Italy, but in Holland? No. And you asked me if we need to open a headquarters in London? And now he's come. Do you not know what a deep ass the Italian economy is, and you suddenly decided to draw out ten billion. I can't even get ten million.
“Are you still doing business with that electrician, Marelli?” Did the guys sitting on aluminum keep their promise to launch a new yacht faster? I would invite. We'll need a lot of electronics, a lot of aluminum. And call the police don. I'll show you what a beauty we made for his carabinieri. In the press, by the way, they wrote that you tied up with Panamanian offshore companies, but evil tongues ...
- Silvio, this will be the best Alpha, you will like it. And don't forget to give this bouquet to your daughter. How do you feel about the next Alpha being called Maria?
I rush on Julia along the race track of the branded (now Fiato-Chrysler) Balocco training ground, I make a mistake, I almost fly out in a hairpin, but I force myself not to be afraid of a protracted skid in a gentler arc - and I smile. Everything will work out. It's Italy. Even despite the strange act of the organizers.
The races began with the fact that they put journalists on the right, and test pilots behind the wheel. First, they say, we will show you what Giulia Quadrifoglio is capable of, and only then you yourself. And they showed! Moreover, each journalist was put on online heart rate monitors on their wrists, the data was recorded - and it seems that the pilots were promised a fee depending on the number of heartbeats that had gone to the heels of the heart. And now - behind the wheel! It’s even strange that at yesterday’s dinner, the Alfa PR man quietly complained: in the previous days, journalists crashed a couple of cars, but in your group, I hope, experienced guys ...
I revel in Julia - and I only regret that I didn’t manage to travel ahead of time on cars that the new Alfa will once again try to wipe its nose: and (or, but it has a couple of doors less). Now it seems to me that Giulia rides divinely. I’m no longer afraid that switching the settings of adaptive dampers, accelerator and electric power steering to Race mode will also entail complete shutdown stabilization system - it will not come to the rescue, even if I step on the brake pedal in a panic. I am surprised and glad that even on the extreme version of the Quadrifoglio with a 510-horsepower V6 biturbo engine, they left a six-speed manual. With it, it’s somehow easier for me, more familiar than with deliberately large paddle shifters on the same machines, but with an eight-speed ZF “automatic”. In addition, with the “mechanics” Giulia is “easier on the front”: more temperamental, mobile. It's funny that asking to leave on the most powerful version dealers from the USA turned to a manual gearbox: there it is a special chic, a matter of honor, so that a sports car was only with a “stick”. And the desire of the Americans is the law: after a twenty-year absence, Alfa Romeo is returning, having already launched and warmed up.
Even the two-tone interior bears the imprint of the solidity of medieval fortified cities. But ask me what exactly I remember, and I will tell you about the Start / Stop button on the steering wheel
Can I have another circle? It seems even faster with drifts. Bella macchina!
When I asked one of the Alphas about the volume of the trunk, he looked at me with regret: “Are you really interested in this?”
Of course not.
And yet, the appearance did not cause that puppy delight, as at one time the Alfa Romeo 156, and then. Oh yes, Giulia is beautiful and harmonious. But this is not a prima on stage that beats a leg with a quick leg, but a general's wife sitting in the stalls. Julia lacks grace, she does not flow. And, just looking at the description, you will find out that Giulia weighs a little more than one and a half tons - and in terms of power, power-to-weight ratio, it is better than the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S (the same 510 forces - and there are 308.2 per ton hp) and BMW M3 (431 hp, 276.3 hp / t, and Julia has 322.8 forces per ton). Aluminum doors, hood, wheel arches, almost all suspension elements and new engines, and this also applies to diesel "fours" (2.2, 150 or 180 hp). A cardan shaft and completely made of carbon fiber.
Cardan shaft...
The muted graphics of the multimedia system and the matte surface of the monitor are in the spirit of the military. This is at odds with the sensual appearance, but at least inspires hope that for some time the electronics will work fine.
Here it is, a blatant blunder of designers: Giulia is silent about the main thing, that, unlike its predecessors, it has rear-wheel drive! She would be a little lower and a little more authentic line of the hood, she would have a little more swiftness.
Mamma mia, rear-wheel drive ... Well, offhand, who can name at least one more or less "circulation" manufacturer who would transfer their mid-size models from front wheel drive on the back (reverse examples are a dime a dozen)? Oh yes, at the turn of the century, Cadillac decided to take such a step, combining the transition to rear-wheel drive with a three-letter indexing of new models, which is why, after an awkward second's hesitation, you have to ask again which Cadillac you are talking about. Well, steady success. German manufacturers leads marketers to the idea that rear-wheel drive is almost the main feature of the premium segment.
Italian brand cars Alfa Romeo I respect you very much. Everything is present in them - bright, stylish appearance, excellent running characteristics, power, endurance. I recently learned that from May to October 2019, a mega-presentation of the new Alfa Romeo Giulia 2019 will be held at the Milan Motor Show.

All companiesMoreover, the creators warm up the public's interest in the new product in advance, without disclosing all the details. But still, I managed to find out a lot of details about what the new car will be like.
Also updated and.
The appearance of the new model is simply amazing. Low seating, reminiscent of a sports car, streamlined shape, arched sloping roof noticeably distinguish Julia from the rest of her brothers.
The triangular radiator grille in the form of a shield with a chrome trim and transverse stripes looks very beautiful and inimitable. The optics are completely new. The headlights have changed their shape, which has become even more elongated. Huge air intake sinuses look great, which fit perfectly into the powerful, semicircular front bumper. 
From external design angularity has disappeared, and the swiftness and excellent aerodynamic qualities of Julia perfectly emphasize two clear edges on the hood.

In all likelihood, the interior of the 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia will retain most of its features and options. In general, the interior is quite convenient and comfortable. Everything here is simple, ergonomic, practical. The center console is turned towards the driver, which makes it much easier to control the machine. It is also worth noting the excellent visibility, which became possible due to the presence of a large number of driver's seat adjustments.
Provided with height adjustment steering column. Moreover, it has the function of automatic folding inwards upon impact. The luggage compartment remains the same and is 378 liters. At a decent level, the equipment of the car is made. The basic version has:
- Driver's seat height adjustment.
- Heated seats.
- Air conditioning system.
- System of exchange rate stability.
- ABS system.
- Navigation system.
- Six airbags.
- Electrically adjustable mirrors.
Everything is in order with the technical characteristics
Based on the power equipment proposed by the manufacturer, we can conclude that the technical characteristics of Alfa Romeo Giulia 2019 are at their best. It is known that a fairly wide range of engines will be offered. Thanks to this, buyers will have the opportunity to choose the most suitable configuration option for themselves.
The same configurations of Alfa Romeo Giulia 2019 will be offered in Russia. It is also known that a charged version will be available to customers, which will include a 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine. Such power equipment will allow to demonstrate incredible power at 480-520 liters. With. Thanks to this, Julia will be able to accelerate to hundreds of km / h in less than 4.0 seconds. 
When will you be able to see this luxury car on the roads? Most likely, the start of sales of Alfa Romeo Giulia 2019 will take place at the very end of 2019 or at the beginning of 2019. The Italians are in no hurry with the details on this matter, so we can only wait.
Despite such a long waiting period, the price of Alfa Romeo Giulia 2019 is already known. It starts from the mark of 980,000 rubles and up to 2,000,000 rubles. Naturally, the cost of the car will depend on the number of options and systems included in the equipment.
Competitors
Naturally, this machine has its competitors. One of them is the BMW M3. Outwardly, he even somewhat similar to Julia. The same strongly elongated headlights, huge air intake windows, a solid radiator grille. Equipment M3 also did not let us down. The basic version has modern systems security, dual zone climate control, heated seats, immobilizer. Impressive dimensions luggage compartment, which holds as much as 480 liters.
Alfa Romeo's second competitor can be called Audi Ku 5. The exterior of the car looks much more modest: conventional rectangular headlights, a traditional radiator grille, which has noticeably increased in size. New has become steering wheel, as well as a modified gearbox control panel. Inside the cabin there is the same modesty and conciseness as outside. The dashboard has a clear, even shape. 
The center console is a bit rough. The interior contains a large number decorative elements under the tree. Trunk dimensions are impressive. Its volume is almost 540 liters.
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 end was a little confusing to me because of the almond-shaped headlights, but the rear end and the overall silhouette of the bodywork 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 seats (even with adjustable side support rollers!), speed indication in italics on the display, a convenient “automatic” joystick, a 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. For rear passengers there is enough space 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 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 much, doesn’t really pull “on the motor”, but decently shakes on small things (thanks to Run Flat tires, 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 stand out for its wide use various materials to facilitate the construction: in the suspension and subframes - aluminum, cardan shaft - carbon. 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 suspension and disc brakes"round", 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 a focus on 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 the skin" and sports steering wheel, Alfa Connect multimedia system, dual split exhaust and diffuser, 18-inch wheels, lane control, warning system emergency braking, 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 an exhaust system with four pipes, plus almost all the equipment items 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.
