The premium segment of mid-size sedans has a contender with solid arguments. The Alfa Romeo Giulia presents itself with an offer that includes a discount of 5,500 euros, positioning itself as an option with a competitive price. Its proposal is based on a marked dynamic character and complete equipment in its entry-level version, the Sprint. We analyze whether its Italian credentials are sufficient to overshadow the established Germans.
The technical base of its sporty character 🏁
The driving experience of the Giulia is supported by a rear-wheel-drive architecture and a balanced weight distribution. This, combined with steering with a direct response, provides a feeling of agility. Under the hood, a four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine seeks a compromise between performance and efficiency, with a declared consumption close to 5 l/100km. In the cabin, the driver interacts with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an infotainment system with an 8.8-inch screen.
How to explain at home that it's not a normal BMW 😅
Arriving at the parking lot with a Giulia requires preparing a little speech. Yes, it's a sedan, but look at the clover on the grille. No, it's not a whim, it's a rational decision based on the torque-weight-steering ratio. You'll have to justify its choice in the face of the inevitable question of why not a 3 Series?. Advise them to take a drive on a winding road. If they still don't see it after that, the problem is not with the car.
