The new Giulietta was presented simultaneously in Turin, Arese, Paris, Madrid and Frankfurt.

Updated styling ties the model more closely with the Giulia and brings a new honeycomb grille, piano black bumper inserts and revised headlamp and fog lamp surrounds.

In addition, the line-up has been rationalised and now features three trim levels (Giulietta, Giulietta Super and Giulietta Veloce), two packs (Veloce and Lusso) and nine engine versions (petrol, diesel and LPG).

Engine line-up sees the 120hp 1.6-litre JTDM-2 turbo diesel engine now available with the Alfa TCT twin dry-clutch transmission. The model brings a top speed of 195kph and a 0 to 100kph time of 10.2 seconds, with 3.8l/100km and 99g/km of CO2 on the combined cycle with the ECO version.

Finally, the Giulietta offers the Uconnect system with new LIVE services. Also debuting on new Giulietta is Alfa Performance, the exclusive service specifically created to enhance the driving experience. Using an array of digital gauges and instruments, drivers can control the main parameters of the car, measure their performance using special timers and see driving statistics on their smartphone, in addition to receiving real-time driving tips. The service is available on Uconnect 6.5” Radio Nav LIVE”. Other features on the 6.5” Uconnect LIVE include satellite navigation function with 3D bird's-eye view maps, sequential route instructions and One Step Voice Entry Destination.
