The latest Alfa Romeo model has finally reached forecourts and showrooms across the country, providing drivers with the latest taste of what the iconic manufacturer has to offer.
Following on from the previous model, the most recent Giulietta comes with a renewed style, new engines and a host of new technological content than ever before.
Alfa says it remains the most "eye-catching and attractive car in its segment" with styling additions including a new front grille, revised front fog light bezels, 16-, 17- and 18-inch alloy wheel designs and a range of exterior colours.
The interior has had some changes too, including the Uconnect multimedia system offered by Alfa, which is operated by a five-inch colour touch screen or voice commands. This will allow for music streaming, hands-free SMS reading, and choosing DAB radio stations.
It also comes with satellite navigation through a 6.5-inch screen, with 3D bird's-eye maps and intelligent route guidance.
The model is powered by a choice of engines, including the 1.4 TB 120hp, the 1.6 JTDM-2 105hp and the 2.0 JTDM-2 150hp.
The latter is an all new design, including innovative injectors that help to control diesel injection in the combustion chambers.
It also comes in a number of trim choices, known as Progression, Distinctive, Exclusive and Sportiva Nav, offering various features for the benefit of a range of driving preferences.
