Building on the model's success of over 212,000 orders since mid-2010, this latest iteration signifies an attempt to solidify its place in the global market.

Revving up the 2.0 JTDM 2 Engine

The Uconnect multimedia system, available with 5" or 6.5" touchscreen options, enhances the driving experience by offering satellite navigation and voice command functionality. The system allows seamless connectivity with multiple multimedia devices, making it easier than ever for drivers to access their favorite media.

One notable addition is the advanced Bluetooth interface, capable of managing phone calls and even reading received SMS messages aloud via text-to-speech technology. Moreover, with the Uconnect Nav and 6.5" touch-screen, drivers can enjoy 3D bird's eye view maps and progressive route guidance. Such features underline Alfa Romeo's dedication to provide cutting-edge technology to enhance the user experience.

Sportiness meets Elegance: Exterior Aesthetics

The design introduces three new color options: Moonlight Pearl, Anodizzato Blue and Bronze, and a reimagined front grille to bring out its bold personality. The vehicle also boasts DRL LED headlights and rear lights, serving dual purposes of style and safety.

The sleek side windows, coupled with hidden rear door handles, amplify the vehicle's streamlined appearance.

The spacious and ergonomic interior and generous luggage capacity of 350 liters prove that the Giulietta 2014 has successfully balanced performance with practicality.

Efficiency: The Optimal Performance to Consumption-Emissions Ratio

The Giulietta's outstanding efficiency is epitomized by an excellent performance to consumption ratio, further enhanced by the latest-generation Alfa TCT twin dry clutch automatic transmission.

Further customizability is offered by the Alfa DNA driving selector, enhancing the car's comfort, performance, safety, and efficiency characteristics.
