This device is standard across the range of the new model is designed to change the operating parameters of the engine, gearbox, steering and electronic differential Q2 behavior, in addition to the logic of the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC).

Sporty and comfortable, Italian style

The perfect blend of sportiness and style, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta redefines the technology standards of the brand and the emotional values.

On the face of a new interpretation of a classic dish embedded in the front bumper and the break between the air intakes.
