Back in June we told you the first news about the highly-anticipated Alfa Romeo Giulia range, and now the Italian car manufacturer has revealed full details about the car's specifications as it joins Alfa Romeo's current range available to lease from Nationwide Vehicle Contracts.
So what is different about the new Alfa Romeo Giulia?
One thing that isn't is the fact that it is a true Alfa Romeo, complete distinctive Italian design, impeccable sense of proportions, technical architecture, sophisticated simplicity and quality surfaces inside and out.
So let's just say that the all new rear-wheel drive architecture, perfect weight distribution, best in class power-to-weight ratios, and innovative engine and driver technologies, are just a few of the new features that we can look out for and enjoy.
The all-new Alfa Romeo Giulia model UK range comes in 13 different colour options, five trim levels – The Giulia, Super, Tecnica, Speciale and the range topping Quadrifoglio – and four engine variants (two petrol and two diesel), all with a new eight-speed automatic transmission as standard.
