2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Starts at $38,990

Pricing has just been announced for the 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia lineup. The base Giulia starts at $38,990, including $995 destination, but prices range all the way up to $73,595 for the high-performance Giulia Quadrifoglio.

The base 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter I-4 that makes 280 hp and 306 lb-ft of torque. All Giulia models come paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, as there is no manual option for the U.S. All-wheel drive, however, can be added for an additional $2,000. The Giulia comes standard with leather seats, HID headlights with LED daytime running lights, a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, smart keyless entry with push-button start, a 7-inch color TFT display, and remote start function. A Sport Exterior package adds special front and rear fascias, 18-inch aluminum sport wheels, gloss-black window trim, and painted brake calipers for $1,250. The base Alfa Romeo Giulia just barely undercuts the BMW 330i, which starts at $39,745.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti starts at $40,990, and features the same 2.0-liter turbo-four as the base model but more luxury and convenience features. The Ti gets the same equipment as the base, but adds standard 18-inch alloy wheels, genuine wood interior trim, an 8.8-inch infotainment touchscreen, SiriusXM satellite radio capability, a heated steering wheel, and heated front seats. All-wheel drive is again a $2,000 option. Two packages are available, Ti Sport and Ti Lusso, priced at $2,250 each. The Ti Sport package includes unique front and rear bumpers, 19-inch dark “five-hole” alloy wheels, gloss-black window trim, painted brake calipers, and a sport leather steering wheel with aluminum paddle shifters. The Ti Lusso package replaces the standard leather upholstery with Pieno Fiore Italian leather with cannelloni inserts, and also includes a leather-wrapped dash and door panels, accent stitching, genuine wood trim in dark gray oak or light walnut, and a luxury steering wheel. A Ti Performance package adds an adaptive performance suspension, mechanical limited-slip differential, and aluminum paddle shifters, though pricing is not yet available.

The Giulia’s halo variant, the Quadrifoglio starts at $73,595, including $1,595 destination. FCA tells us the Quadrifoglio receives a higher destination charge because the model is shipped in an enclosed carrier like the Alfa Romeo 4C. The Quadrifoglio’s starting price is $130 less than the Mercedes-AMG C63 S sedan, which is a closer match for the Alfa than the standard C63 or BMW M3. The Quadrifoglio boasts a 505-hp, 443-lb-ft twin-turbo 2.9-liter V-6, as well as a hood, roof, rear spoiler, and side sills crafted from carbon fiber. The model also gets a carbon fiber active front splitter, DNA Pro selectable drive mode system with Race mode, an adjustable performance suspension, 19-inch alloy wheels, Brembo brakes, carbon fiber interior trim, and leather sport seats. That $73,595 also gets you bragging rights, as the Giulia Quadrifoglio currently holds the lap record for a four-door production car around Germany’s famed Nürburgring.

The Giulia Quadrifoglio goes on sale this month, while the base model and Ti arrive in January.
