For a certain kind of buyer looking for a focused sport sedan, the Alfa Romeo Giulia is a must-have. There's really no other entry-level four-door that comes close to matching its superb driving dynamics and unique road presence. But many will be put off by the compromises to passenger comfort and overall refinement it makes to achieve this goal.

Trunk space is adequate but awkward to access
Not as refined or as well finished as the top contenders in the segment

12.3-inch digital instrument cluster replaces previous analog gauges
Quadrifoglio trim gets a mechanical limited-slip rear differential instead of previous torque-vectoring unit
Part of the first Giulia generation introduced in 2017

Overview

Maybe you never liked the mainstream. Perhaps, in high school, you shunned football for rock climbing. You're eccentric. And you're passionate. Then you should give the Alfa Romeo Giulia a long, hard look. It's a luxury sedan that trades on its stunning good looks and lust-inducing performance. It makes willing sacrifices to space and practicality in service of beauty and driving pleasure. It's Italian. And it eschews the comparative stoicism of its Germanic rivals in favor of heart-on-sleeve driving focus.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.58 per gallon for premium unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: Mild updates, same focus

Despite a mild refresh for 2024 — new headlights and taillights and a new 12.3-inch digital instrument display — the Giulia remains largely the same curvy, quick and involving sport sedan it's been since its 2017 debut. With a 280-horsepower base engine, the Giulia is as rapid as it is pretty. The eight-speed automatic gearbox snaps off upshifts with bolt-action precision, while the meaty steering wheel transmits granular-levels of road information into the driver's hands. If your sport sedan has to be the kind that annoys your in-laws and makes the neighbors jealous then the Giulia is probably right up your alley. Just know that the driving glory and striking looks are accompanied by lagging tech and imperfect comfort. But these are petty complaints if you've come to the Giulia for its strengths. Read our Expert Rating for all the details.

Competitors to consider

There's an abundance of personalities in the small luxury class and most of them are solid choices. Among the best: Audi's A4, BMW's 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz's C-Class. And if you're looking outside Germany, you should also consider the Lexus IS 350 and Genesis G70.

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.0/10

How does the Giulia drive? The Alfa Romeo Giulia feels like a proper sport sedan. At the Edmunds test track, our Giulia Veloce test vehicle sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds, which is among the segment's quickest for a base engine-equipped vehicle. The steering wheel is nicely weighted, and the body responds quickly to steering inputs. Handling is superb, with little body roll and razor-sharp accuracy. Notably, our test car came equipped with summer-rated tires, and we found they provided plenty of grip through turns.

A few faults drag down this score. The brakes clamp on pretty hard, so it takes a light foot to stop smoothly. The transmission also isn't quick to downshift when you really dig in for more speed.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Giulia? The Giulia is a sport sedan first and foremost, but it's also reasonably comfortable. The front seats are supportive and have plenty of adjustments to dial in your ideal position. But some drivers might find the unyielding thigh bolsters to be intrusive. The Giulia rides firmly, and cracked road surfaces transmit hard thunks into the cabin, but it's acceptable overall considering the car's sporty nature.

On the downside, the engine that sounds great when wrung out is also hollow and coarse at low rpm, and our test car's summer tires made a lot of road noise at highway speeds. We also found that the automatic climate system didn't blow as much air as we desired.

Interior

6.5/10

How’s the interior? Some controls are oddly placed. Though the infotainment system supports both touchscreen and dial inputs, the latter can't control everything displayed. You'll have to use the screen to select a radio preset, for instance. Another downside: The Giulia is hard to get in and out of. The middle roof pillar is pushed far forward, which hampers front seat access, and the rear wheel arches intrude into rear passenger space. Headroom is tight especially in the back once you finally do get inside.

The driver is the focus here, as evidenced by the attention to detail placed on this position. The seat and steering wheel are highly adjustable, and the armrests are at the perfect height for relaxed cruising. The metal shift paddles attached to the steering column are deeply satisfying to pull. And visibility is pretty good except for the compromised over-the-shoulder view due to the position of the middle pillar.

Technology

6.5/10

How’s the tech? The Giulia's tech falls short of what class leaders offer. The voice controls, in particular, are seriously deficient compared to more comprehensive Audi, BMW and Mercedes systems. The system appears to support natural language recognition until you say something it doesn't understand and a structured menu list pops up. Navigation input is cumbersome, and point-of-interest search rarely works. And while there are plenty of ports and pads to charge your devices, phone integration is poor. Bluetooth is slow to connect, so if you had a podcast at high volume playing when you turned off the car, upon restart, the radio will absolutely blast you away.

There are a few highlights. The available Harman Kardon audio system sounds crisp and punchy, and the driver aids, while a little too sensitive, work well overall.

Storage

7.0/10

How’s the storage? The trunk, at 13.4 cubic feet, offers more ultimate storage than most rivals, and there are enough storage spaces inside the car to stash your everyday gear. Numerous cubbies and pockets, though small, are spread throughout the cabin.

As is the case with many aspects of the Giulia, the negatives come down to execution. While the trunk itself is large, the top edge of the trunk is almost in line vertically with the bottom edge. So you don't drop items into the trunk as much as you bend over and slide them in, like you do with an oven. Put anything as far forward as the rear seatbacks, and you'll have to climb into the trunk to retrieve it. And though car seat anchors are easily accessible, the small door apertures and tight rear space will require moving the front seats to make a child safety seat fit.

Fuel Economy

6.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The all-wheel-drive Giulia gets an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined (23 city/31 highway). This is typical for a compact luxury sedan with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive, but once you consider its superior acceleration, the Giulia gleams a little brighter. However, it earned 25.9 mpg on our 115-mile evaluation route; typically we see results between the combined and highway numbers. A BMW 330i xDrive on the same route, for instance, averaged 31.3 mpg.

Value

7.0/10

Is the Giulia a good value? The Giulia is priced similarly to rivals from Mercedes and BMW, though other sedans from Acura, Lexus and Volvo are generally priced lower. The cabin design is attractive and distinct, with ample use of leather, aluminum and soft-touch plastic. It seems like you get what you pay for. Still, our test car had a persistent rattle and wonky phone integration system.

Like most in the class, Alfa offers four years/50,000 miles of coverage for both its basic and powertrain warranties. Roadside assistance is covered for four years/unlimited miles, and the first maintenance visit is free. Many Alfa models have shown questionable reliability, though, so proceed with caution.

Wildcard

9.0/10

The Giulia has personality in spades. While the back end looks a little anonymous, the front end is distinctive — in a good way. Its interior, likewise, doesn't look like anything else out there. Satisfying steering, sublime handling, grippy seats, a rorty four-cylinder ... there are perhaps no other cars (with base engines) in this segment more engaging or fun to drive. With the Giulia, you will likely know right away if it's the car for you.

Which Giulia does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest going with the Sprint trim, which comes well outfitted with heated front and rear seats, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a wireless phone charging pad. If performance is important, step up to the Veloce trim, which adds 19-inch wheels and a limited-slip differential.

Alfa Romeo Giulia models

The 2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia is available in five main trim levels: Sprint, Ti, Veloce, Competizione and the high-performance Quadrifoglio. There's also a 100th-anniversary trim Quadrifoglio for 2024. The first four are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (280 horsepower, 306 lb-ft) matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional. The Quadrifoglio is rear-wheel-drive only and uses a turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine (505 hp, 443 lb-ft). Feature highlights for each trim continue below.

2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I wanted a sports sedan that was performance oriented and had decent driver legroom as I am over 6ft tall. I did alot of research and it came down to the Giulia against the Chrysler 300, VW Arteon, Kia Stinger, Genesis G70, Sonata N-Line, Acura TLX and Nissan Maxima. Test drove all of them and the Giulia was the clear winner in terms of handling, design and uniqueness. I bought a Misano …

TL;DR version: Go test drive one and see for yourself. Full version: So I have always played it "safe" with cars, using magazines like CR faithfully and buying either a Toyota or Honda/Acura product. I really liked the Giulia's looks, the history behind Alfa Romeo, and having a car you don't see everywhere. But, the reliability question was concerning--until I dug deeper. CR doesn't …

It looks stunning, no doubt. Like the driving too. smooth power delivery. Suspension a poise in compared to my Golf R VII. Love it. Classy. Interior is also nicely done. I don't see the so-often-yelled lack of German quality. It is finished well too. I thought I would miss my Golf R when I replaced it with Giulia. But in the end I find this car more lovely. Good value for money too when …

Alfa Romeo Giulia vs. BMW 3 Series

BMW's 3 Series has so much in common with the Giulia that, on paper, they may seem identical. Both offer a turbocharged 2.0-liter base engine linked to a shiftable eight-speed automatic transmission and optional all-wheel drive. The BMW has a 1.2-inch-longer wheelbase, but that doesn't translate into meaningfully more interior space. The Giulia is the more powerful of the two and that gave it a slightly quicker 0-60 mph time in our testing. But the 3 Series counters with better fuel economy — both in the real world and according to the EPA.

Alfa Romeo Giulia vs. Mercedes-Benz C-Class

This is not a case of the impassive German vs. the emotional Italian. While the Giulia may be the more passion-inducing of the two, Mercedes' C-Class is far from a boring car. Its stunning interior, class-leading tech, and large, quiet cabin give it a level of luxury and refinement not present in the Giulia. But what the Benz offers in amenities it lacks in pure driving pleasure. Both of these cars are quick, yet if you're in the small luxury sedan class for a car that makes you want to brake late and grab a handful of gears, the Giulia is the better choice.

Compare Alfa Romeo Giulia & Mercedes-Benz C-Class features

Alfa Romeo Giulia vs. Audi A4

Put simply, the A4 is a more practical car than the Giulia. It's bigger inside, offers a more family-friendly ride, is easier to climb in and out of, and is impeccably finished. Like the Giulia, it's getting long in the tooth relative to other competitors, but it's aging well. It supplies fewer thrills than the Giulia, however. The steering, in particular, lacks the Giulia's precision and feedback. Pick the A4 if you're after the safe choice. Go with the Giulia if you're after a love affair.
