Alfa Romeo: Gentle model update for Giulia and Stelvio
TRADITION In addition to an exterior design revised in details, Alfa Romeo's Giulia and Stelvio offer even better connectivity and a fully digital instrument display in the new model year.
The most striking feature of the Giulia and Stelvio model update is the new headlight design. Analogous to the latest Alfa Romeo model Tonale, the lights are now structured in 3+3 elements - three modules for driving lights, daytime running lights and turn signals. This configuration is also said to pay homage to two models of the early 1990s, the SZ Zagato coupe and the Proteo concept car. Thanks to an all-LED matrix setup, the new headlights provide more light while requiring less energy.
The typical Alfa trilobo with radiator grille and side-mounted cooling air intakes has also been redesigned for the new model year. The taillights are also new, with LED technology and shiny smoked glass on the Stelvio, but transparent on the Giulia.
Preparation for automated driving
The instrument cluster is now a 12.3-inch TFT monitor. The fully digital display shows the most important info and the parameters that are important for automated driving. The instrument display can be configured in the three layouts Evolved, Relax and Heritage.
The infotainment systems have also been optimized, and software updates are possible online. Also new for the Giulia and Stelvio is NFT technology, which was introduced with the Tonale model. The term NFT refers to a tamper-proof digital certificate. With the owner's consent, the NFT records important vehicle data that can be used, for example, as proof that the vehicle has been properly maintained.
Known drives deliver up to 510 hp
Giulia and Stelvio are still available with the three engine variants 2.2 diesel, 2.0 and 2.9-V6 gasoline, which provide outputs of 210, 280 and 510 hp and ensure tremendous temperament with maximum torques of 470, 400 and 600 Nm. With the exception of the rear-wheel drive Giulia Quadrifoglio, all models are combined with Q4 all-wheel drive.
The four-cylinder models are offered in four trims: Super, TI, Veloce and Competitione. The V6 versions are always combined with Quadrifoglio levels. Prices start at 62,900 francs (Giulia) and 71,900 francs (Stelvio), and the top Quadrifoglio Competizione models are priced at 136,400 francs (Giulia) and 145,200 francs (Stelvio).
