Alfa Romeo Giulia (2015)

This article is about the 2016 model. For the model produced during the 1960s and 1970s, see Alfa Romeo Giulia.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia is a compact executive car produced by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo. Known internally as the Type 952,[14] it was unveiled in June 2015, with market launch scheduled for February 2016,[15] and it is the first saloon offered by Alfa Romeo after the production of the 159 ended in 2011.[16] The Giulia is also the first mass-market Alfa Romeo vehicle in over two decades to use a longitudinal rear-wheel drive platform, since the 75 which was discontinued in 1992.[14] The Giulia was second in 2017 European Car of the Year voting and was named Motor Trend Car of the Year for 2018. In 2018, Giulia was awarded the Compasso d'Oro industrial design award.[17]

History

edit

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.[18][19] 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.[15]

Marco Tencone of Centro Stile Alfa Romeo at the Fiat Mirafiori factory in Turin headed the design team,[20][2] with oversight from Lorenzo Ramaciotti.[19] The Giulia had a long gestation and delayed launch due to Marchionne sending its design back to the drawing board.[21]

 
The restyled company logo, which debuted with the new Giulia

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.[22] The occasion coincided with the company's 105th anniversary,[23] and also saw the company debut a restyled logo for all future Alfa Romeo models.[24] The Giulia was also presented under the new La meccanica delle emozioni slogan ("the mechanics of emotions" in Italian).[25]

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.[23][26]

Overview

Rear view
 
Interior

The Giulia uses a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, targeting an even 50% front and 50% rear weight distribution.[3] Suspension is independent all-around—double wishbone with a semi-virtual steering axis front and multilink rear.[3][27] All Giulia models employ a carbon-fibre drive shaft made by Hitachi Automotive Systems,[28] as well as aluminium alloy shock towers, suspension components, front wings, and doors.[29][30] All-wheel drive is offered in non-Quadrifoglio models.[3][31]

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.[32] 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.[33] 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".[34] 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",[32] while the Sunday Times criticised the driver's door, saying it "is either too small or in the wrong place."[34]

The Guardian said that the driving experience was "lovely",[32] 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."[34] 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."[33] The Sunday Times said that the 58-litre (13 imp gal; 15 US gal) 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".[34]

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.[34] The Guardian called it "generously luxurious."[32] 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.[33] 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."[35]

Models

edit

Giulia, Super, and Speciale

edit
 
Giulia base model
 
Giulia Speciale 2.2 TD
 
Giulia Speciale 2.2 TD

The base Giulia, mid-level Super, and fully loaded Speciale are powered by a 200 PS (147 kW; 197 hp) 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, and leather sports seats from the Veloce. The Giulia has a drag coefficient of Cd=0.28.[36][37]

Sprint

edit

The Giulia Sprint is positioned above the base and Super model grades, but below the Veloce. In Europe, the early Giulia Sprint was powered by either the base 2.0 gasoline engine, or 180 PS 2.2 liter diesel engine. For 2020, the Sprint got the updated diesel engine with 190 PS. In North America, the Giulia Sprint was new for 2022 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. [38]

Veloce, Ti, and Estrema

edit
 
Giulia Veloce
 
Giulia Veloce

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]

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]

The new four-cylinder petrol engine is rated at a maximum power output of 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) at 5,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 400 N⋅m (295 lb⋅ft) 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 210 PS (154 kW; 207 hp) diesel all aluminium straight-4 engine comes with MultiJet II technology and electrically operated variable geometry turbocharger.[citation needed]

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.[39][non-primary source needed]

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.

Quadrifoglio

edit
 
The Quadrifoglio logo

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.[40]

The Quadrifoglio is powered by an all-aluminium alloy, twin-turbocharged gasoline direct injection 90° 690T V6 engine, with a single-cylinder displacement of just under half a litre,[15] for a total of 2,891 cc (176.4 cu in; 2.9 L). This engine was developed for the Quadrifoglio by engineers with Ferrari background[30][41] and is derived from Ferrari's own twin-turbocharged F154 CB V8 engine,[15] sharing the California T's bore x stroke of 86.5 mm × 82 mm (3.41 in × 3.23 in).[42] The engine has a maximum power output of 510 PS (375 kW; 503 hp) at 6,500 rpm,[3] and 600 N⋅m (443 lb⋅ft) of torque between 2,500 and 5,000 rpm.[15][43][44] The turbochargers are single-scroll compressor IHI units integrated into the manifold, with water-charge air coolers.[45] It has side-mounted direct and port fuel injection and the peak turbo boost reaches up to 1.4 bar (20 psi) relative pressure.[46][47][48]

With the inclusion of cylinder deactivation (that switches off the right bank of three cylinders),[15] this model achieves a fuel consumption of 8.5 litres per 100 kilometres (33 mpg‑imp; 28 mpg‑US) and CO
2 emissions of 198 g/km, in the combined cycle.[43] The EPA combined fuel economy rating is 20 miles per gallon.[13]

The Quadrifoglio weighs 1,734 kg (3,822 lb)[13][12] and has a power-to-weight ratio of 3 kg (6.6 lb)/PS. Offical factory "wet weight" is 1620kg for automatic gearbox version and 1580kg for the manual version. [49] Weight distribution is 52.5% front, 47.5% rear.[50] This is achieved courtesy of the Quadrifoglio sharing the other models' composite and light alloy construction, as well as featuring a roof and bonnet made of carbon fibre.[29]

Giulia Quadrifoglio

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)[48] 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[15] 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",[49] which lowers by 10 degrees[15] between 100 and 230 km/h (62 and 143 mph) in Dynamic or Race modes.[48] The manufacturer claims these active aero elements are the firsts in the Giulia's market segment[15] and are able to generate up to 100 kp (1 kN; 220 lbf) of downforce at 186 mph (300 km/h).[51] The Giulia Quadrifoglio has a drag coefficient of Cd=0.31.[42][37]

Mechanically, this model was fitted with a torque-vectoring rear differential[31] able to send 100% of the torque to each wheel,[52] and an 8-speed automatic transmission manufactured by ZF, with a ZF six-speed manual transmission[15] available as an option in European markets.[53] The differential was changed to a mechanical limited slip for the 2024 model year.[54] The braking system has the option of Ceramic Composite Material (CCM) carbon-ceramic rotors,[30] 390 mm (15 in) front and 360 mm (14 in) rear.[37]

On the interior, the dashboard is part-trimmed in leather and carbon fibre and the engine start button is located on the multi-function steering wheel. In addition, the driver is offered the Alfa Romeo DNA [it] control selector, placed on the centre console.[15] Driving modes include "Dynamic", "Natural", and "Advanced Efficiency", and "Race" (for high performance — with louder exhaust note and all electronic stability control systems turned off).[49]

Performance

edit

According to Alfa Romeo, the Giulia Quadrifoglio accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.9 seconds[30] and comes to a standstill from that speed in 32 metres (105 ft). The Quadrifoglio can attain a top speed of 307 km/h (191 mph).[51] This model equipped with a manual transmission completed the Nürburgring's Nordschleife circuit in 7 minutes and 39 seconds, a record for a saloon car.[55][56] In September 2016 a new lap record for the automatic transmission version was published: 7 minutes and 32 seconds.[57][58] Car and Driver magazine has recorded a standing quarter mile time of 11.9 seconds at 195 km/h (121 mph) and a 0 to 97 km/h (60 mph) acceleration time of 3.6 seconds.[13] In Motor Trend Head 2 Head (Ep. 85) the Quadrifoglio won against the BMW M3 Competition and was rated higher than Mercedes-AMG C63 and Cadillac ATS-V. The track test was performed at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway. The Quadrifoglio was also previewed in The Grand Tour TV series in January 2017. It completed a lap of the show's test track only 1.1 seconds behind the new all-wheel-drive Honda NSX, both driven on a wet track, an excellent performance for a rear-wheel-drive car. The Quadrifoglio went around the Top Gear test track in 1:21.40.[59]

Quadrifoglio NRING Edition

edit
 
Giulia NRING Edition

At the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, the Alfa introduced the Giulia Quadrifoglio NRING Edition. The NRING edition has carbon-ceramic brakes, Sparco carbon fibre seats, carbon fibre interior trim, a Mopar-branded gear shifter, and Mopar floor mats. The car is differentiated on the exterior by 'NRING' badges as well as carbon fibre mirror caps and side skirts and an exposed carbon fibre roof. The equipment was upgraded to include adaptive cruise control and a premium sound system.[60]

Quadrifoglio Racing Edition

edit
 
Giulia Racing Edition

At the 2019 Geneva Motor Show the Alfa Romeo Racing limited edition was introduced, which celebrates Alfa Romeo's legendary racing history and the entry of a new Italian driver in Formula 1 competition: Antonio Giovinazzi joining the "Alfa Romeo Racing" team together with the 2007 F1 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen. This special edition has exclusive paintwork, as a tribute to the Alfa Romeo Racing C38 Formula 1 car. It has also some stylistic details like some carbon fibre aerodynamic parts and an Akrapovič titanium exhaust system.[61] The weight was reduced by about 28 kilograms (62 lb) from the standard Quadrifoglio, followed by a technical tune-up by Alfa Romeo engineers that has resulted more torque and power, which now amounts to 520 PS (382 kW; 513 hp).[62]

Giulia Advanced Efficiency

edit

At the 2016 Paris Motor Show the Giulia's economic version called "AE" - Advanced Efficiency was unveiled. The AE was available with the Giulia and Giulia Super trim levels, it has 180 PS (132 kW; 178 hp) diesel engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The fuel consumption combines to 4.2 L/100 km (67 mpg‑imp; 56 mpg‑US) and just 99 g/km of CO2 emissions in the combined cycle. It has some specific technical solutions to achieve these values like implementation of a low-pressure EGR valve that improves engine efficiency, an air-water intercooler, a secondary engine cooling circuit in addition to the primary circuit, and specific gearbox ratios. The height of the car's body is lowered by 5 mm (0.2 in), it has specifically designed alloy wheels and the drag coefficient has been reduced to 0.23 for less drag force.[63] The Giulia "AE" Advanced Efficiency is fitted with specific 205/60 R16 tyres for reducing rolling resistance. It was discontinued beginning with 2019 model year.[64]

GTA and GTAm

edit
 
Giulia GTA
 
Giulia GTAm

On 2 March 2020, Alfa Romeo introduced two new GTA and GTAm[65] models which would have a limited production run of 500 units. The GTA and GTAm versions are developed to celebrate the marque's 110th anniversary in 2020, and pay tribute to one of the most emblematic automobile of Alfa Romeo: Giulia GTA.[66] The GTA and GTAm use the same engine, rated at 540 PS (397 kW; 533 hp) and are 100 kilograms (220 lb) lighter than the Quadrifoglio, allowing for a power to weight ratio of 2.82 kg/PS. The GTA and GTAm can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, with launch control. The GTAm is a track focused model and as a result has two seats, racing harnesses, and Lexan side and rear windows.[67][68] The GTA's handling was improved by widening the front and rear track by 50 millimetres (2.0 in). The car is fitted with single nut wheels for weight reduction measures. Broader fenders cover the additional width. New springs, shocks, and bushings update the suspension as further means to improve the handling. Buyers will also receive a “personalized experience package” which includes a Bell racing helmet in special GTA livery, a full racing suit by Alpinestars, a personalized Goodwool car cover, and a specific driving course devised by the Alfa Romeo Driving Academy.[67]

Modifications to the engine include higher boost pressure from the turbochargers, an Akrapovič exhaust system and redesigned pistons to ensure constant power and reliability: the piston cooling system now uses four oil jets instead of two as is the case on Quadrifoglio model.[69]

Engines and performance

edit
 
The 2.9 litre 690T twin-turbocharged V6 engine

The base models consist of four-cylinder petrol engines, as well as four-cylinder turbo diesel engines.[29] The Quadrifoglio uses the V6 Alfa Romeo 690T engine, as described above. The petrol engines are built in FCA Italy's Termoli plant.[70] Diesel engines are built in the Pratola Serra plant.

The first models went on sale from February 2016 were the 2.2 L Multijet II turbodiesel and the 2.9 L V6 Quadrifoglio.[15] A 2.0 L MultiAir2 turbo petrol engine was announced at the time of the Giulia Quadrifoglio's debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2015.[71] The 2.0 litre gasoline engines are part of the all new FCA Global Medium Engine (GME) family. The Alfa version will share up to 70% parts with the GME family for other FCA brands.

  39. ^ Fiat Chrysler Automobiles EMEA Press: [1] Archived 2016-11-06 at the Wayback Machine 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.
