About the Alfa Romeo Giulietta

Designing and building the best-looking hatchback on the road isn’t an easy task, but Alfa Romeo has done just that with the Giulietta. 

The exterior styling found on this hatchback is very impressive and beats that of its more reserved German rivals. 

The Giulietta also offers a great driving feel in both manual and automatic gearbox options. 

All models are also well equipped as standard, with a very functional and clean interior. Its engines also offer great fuel efficiency, which is just what you want from any car these days. 

Its main rivals are the Volkswagen Golf, SEAT Leon, BMW 1 Series, Audi A3, and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.

This is a very competitive class to be fighting in, but with its sporty handling and peppy engines, we think the Giulietta will be just fine.

Is the Alfa Romeo Giulietta reliable?

Alfa Romeo has struggled with reliability issues in the past, but it has improved in recent years.  

Additionally, it's worth remembering that every used car we sell comes with a free 90-day warranty and the option to purchase cinchCare to increase the longevity of your vehicle. 

Standard safety features across the Giulietta range include front airbags, side airbags, electronic stability control, antilock brakes, and seat belt reminders. 

What are the Alfa Romeo Giulietta features?

Inside, all Alfa Romeo Giulietta models are very well equipped from the factory. 

Entry-level models feature six speakers, a DAB radio, Bluetooth connectivity, a CD player, voice recognition, smartphone connectivity, a five-inch touchscreen, electric windows, and air-con. 

Alfa’s infotainment system is easy to use and works well with its radio, media, sat-nav, and phone capabilities. The entire cabin is well put-together and offers a nice finish – and it features USB phone chargers too. 

Rear passenger space is impressive, and similar to that of its rivals. There are also ISOFIX child seat mounts, so you can rest assured your kids will be safe in the back. 

The boot of the Giulietta measures 350 litres, which grows to 1,045 litres when the rear seats are folded flat.  

What's the Alfa Romeo Giulietta like to drive?

When it comes to engine choices, there are a plethora of options available for the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. There are a grand total of seven engines; three petrols and four diesels. 

The three petrol engines on offer are: a 123hp 1.4-litre; 172hp 1.4-litre; and a 238hp 1.8-litre engine that comes with the range-topping Cloverleaf variant.  

These engines are perfect for those who do shorter journeys like the occasional spirited drive, or simply those who prefer petrol.

The 1.4-litre offers the perfect blend between decent performance and economy, so would be a great pick for most people. 

As for diesel options, there is a 106hp 1.6-litre; a 2.0-litre with either 141hp or 172hp; and a 2.0-litre engine that produces 152hp. 

These engines are perfect for long-distance drives or if you are someone who may do longer motorway drives on a frequent basis.  

Regardless of which engine you choose, you’re getting a cracking motor that offers great performance, economy and poke.
