Alfa Romeo Giuletta – facelift debuts in Frankfurt

alfa giuletta 2014 01

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta facelift will be making its premiere in Frankfurt. The revision isn’t drastic, with exterior changes being limited to a new-look front grille, fog light frames that are now chrome-plated, the incorporation of DRLs into the front headlamps and three new alloy wheel designs (16- to 18-inch). Three new liveries called Moonlight Pearl, Anodizzato Blue and Bronze find their way on too.

The interior, meanwhile, features new sports seats in the case of the range-topping Quadrifoglio Verde version, and these are upholstered in black leather/Alcantara with contrasting stitching, with an electro-welded logo on the backrest. Other trim levels available for the car are Progression, Distinctive and Exclusive, each offering different material/colour contrasts.

Also fresh to the 2014 car is a new door panel and grab handle design as well as a brand new insert on the central console and dashboard, all treated with uniform scratch-proof paint. Other revisions include the repositioning of the USB port and a luggage compartment that’s now fully lined – bottom, sides and behind the rear seats – with black trim.

What else? The Giuletta gets a Uconnect multimedia device, which can be specified with either a five-inch or 6.5-inch RadioNav touchscreen, offers connectivity options via Bluetooth, USB port or Aux-in socket. And there’s a new engine option for the car in the form of a 150 hp and 380 Nm 2.0 JTDM-2 engine.

    The Giuletta is weird in a sense that it doesn’t look photogenic in photos or 3d renders.

    But saw a white one in the metal a month ago near SS15, and oh my god it was gorgeous. Oddly enough a Citroen DS4 was also just a few cars behind it. Wonder if there was a test drive going on or something.

  • I am at Treviso, Italy now and I can tell you that this Alfa Romeo Giuletta are so common on the road.

    Oh boy, it does look stunning and does not look out of place when viewing side-by-side with the cars like MB A-class, BMW 1-series or Audi A3s.

    If RV are not of your concern, do give it a test drive. I am sure this car will be able to provide you a sense of occasion while driving it.

      Ugly is your face in the mornin, you pug. You have no concept of beauty. This is probably the most beautiful car in it’s class anywhere in the world.

    apparently the italians hate this car a lot because it represents what is all wrong with alfa romeo. from bmw fighting luxury carmaker to pretty fiat.

    It looks too muncung (narrow). I mean the positioning of foglamps, headlamps are too close to middle. Made worse by the alfa romeo signature Narrow V grille. It will look beautiful from close. But, if u look from far, it will look weird due to the forced narrowness. Human eyes tend to prefer wider face. Ok simple example, saga BLM face vs Myvi. Myvi looks more acceptable coz our eyes perceive it as wide even though it is not that wide. Honda civic 2013 uses this optical illusion very effectively while inspira looks shitty narrow like berak. I hate my inspira face to be honest.
