Alfa Romeo Giulia (2016-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very attractive styling	Not as comfortable or refined as German rivals
Ferocious performance from Quadrifoglio	Some owners report electrical gremlins
Emotional appeal of the Alfa badge	No estate version

Quick Summary

The Alfa Romeo Giulia (2016-present) is a leftfield alternative to the usual Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class. Whilst it may not match German rivals for interior quality or build precision, the Giulia compensates with imaginative design, an excellent driving position and generous interior space. The 2019 facelift brought significant improvements, including an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a 7.0-inch TFT instrument cluster later upgraded to 12.3 inches. All models come with a smooth eight-speed automatic gearbox as standard.

The Giulia delivers an engaging driving experience with super-quick steering and plenty of grip, though the firm suspension can feel noisy on UK roads. Engine options range from efficient 2.2-litre diesels (158bhp and 187bhp) and 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol variants (197bhp and 276bhp) to the range-topping 503bhp Quadrifoglio, which offers utterly bonkers performance. Running costs are surprisingly reasonable, with diesels returning over 50mpg and petrol models achieving mid-30s mpg. The Giulia's incredible value, emotional appeal and engaging soundtrack make it a compelling choice for those seeking something different from the German establishment.

Best for: Buyers seeking a distinctive alternative to German rivals, those valuing emotional appeal and attractive styling, and drivers wanting engaging performance with an excellent soundtrack.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum comfort and refinement, buyers needing an estate option, or those concerned about potential electrical issues.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Giulia if: You seek a distinctive alternative to German rivals, value emotional appeal and attractive styling, or want engaging performance with an excellent soundtrack.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum comfort and refinement, need an estate option, or are concerned about potential electrical issues.

Competitive Position: The Alfa Romeo Giulia is a compelling leftfield choice in the compact executive saloon segment. Whilst the BMW 3 Series edges ahead on expert rating and the Audi A4 leads on user satisfaction, the Giulia offers something its German rivals cannot: emotional appeal, distinctive styling and an engaging driving experience. It may not match them for comfort or refinement, but its incredible value, imaginative design and ferocious Quadrifoglio variant make it a genuinely intoxicating proposition for those willing to look beyond the establishment.
