2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Prices Start at $37,995
Today, Alfa Romeo took another step in its path toward re-establishing itself in the U.S. market. It announced pricing for its 2017 Giulia lineup.
The base rear-wheel-drive Giulia stickers for $37,995 and comes with such standard features as leather seats, bi-xenon headlamps, LED daytime running lights and tail lamps, a dual exhaust system, a back-up camera, rear park sensors, push button and remote start, and a 7-inch TFT (thin-film transistor) display. Q4 all-wheel drive is an extra $2,000. Ticking the box for the Sport Exterior Package adds unique front and rear fascias, 18-inch aluminum wheels, gloss black (instead of bright chrome) window surrounds, and colored calipers.
In the middle of the Giulia range, the Giulia Ti (Turismo Internazionale) comes with 18-inch wheels, real wood interior accents, an 8.8-inch infotainment screen, SiriusXM, and a heated steering wheel and front seats as standard. Prices start at $39,995. Adding Q4 all-wheel drive pushes the price up by $2,000.
Three optional packages are available to enhance the Giulia Ti. The $2,250 Ti Sport combo adds special front and rear fascias, dark 19-inch aluminum wheels, gloss black window frames, colored calipers, power front leather sport seats, a sport leather steering wheel, and aluminum shift paddles. The Ti Lusso package also has a price of $2,250, but it ups the Giulia Ti’s level of luxury with Luxury Pieno Fiore Italian leather seats, 12-way power front seats, a leather-wrapped dash and upper door trim, genuine wood accents in one of two colors, and what FCA calls a “luxury steering wheel.” In its press release about the Giulia lineup’s pricing, FCA doesn’t mention one for the Giulia Ti’s available Ti Performance Package. Whatever Alfa ends up charging for it, expect it to include an adaptive performance suspension, a mechanical limited slip differential, and aluminum paddle shifters.
Both the Giulia and Giulia Ti are powered by a direct-injected 2.0-liter turbo I4 with 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque. That’s connected to an eight-speed automatic.
The flagship Giulia, the $72,000 Quadrifoglio, uses the same transmission, but has a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 under the hood. According to FCA, its 505 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque make it “the most powerful Alfa Romeo production car engine ever and the quickest with a class-leading 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds, plus it enabled a record-setting 7:32 Nürburgring lap time – the fastest ever by a four-door production sedan.” The Quadrifoglio is also set apart from other Giulias by its unique styling; carbon fiber splitter, hood, roof, spoiler and side sill inserts; DNA Pro system with Race Mode; torque vectoring; adjustable performance suspension; and other exterior and interior elements. Available upgrades include carbon fiber Sparco racing seats and a carbon-ceramic Brembo brake system that’s 50 percent lighter than a cast iron setup and brings the Quadrifoglio to a stop from 60 mph in 102 feet.
The 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio goes on sale this month. Expect to see the Giulia and Giulia Ti twins in dealerships in January.
*Prices exclude destination charges of $995 for the Giulia and Giulia Ti, and $1,595 for the Giulia Quadrifoglio.
