Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

Like the exteriors, there’s plenty of use of carbon fibre in the cabin too. But, that degrades the value and as well as driving experience. However, being on the driver seat, you’ll always be at the centre. The race-inspired cockpit is designed in such a way to keep distractions minimal for the driver. When you look closely, you’ll find that the cabin of Guilia Quadrifoglio is highly inspired by its SUV version Stelvio Quadrifoglio. The heated front seats are easygoing and offer excellent support for race track driving. While the flowing dashboard is wrapped in leather and in some way improves the dynamics of the cabin. Likewise, the upper door and central armrest are covered in leather to extend the feel of richness.

To additionally enhance the driving experience, Guilia comes with 7-inch TFT instrument cluster display that hosts all the necessary information. The power-adjustable driver seat comes with memory function and can be arranged in 8-ways. The front passenger seat comes with the same feature but without memory function. Guilia also offers cool glovebox storage compartment, dual-zone climate control air conditioning, and 8.8-inch touchscreen display with rotary knob controller and comes with 3D navigation. For connectivity, you’ll get Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, rear USB ports, front USB port and AUX support. To keep you excited, Alfa has installed Harman Kardon 14-speaker sound system that comes with 900W subwoofer and 2x surround sound. 

As a Quadrifoglio, Guilia is a performance inspired sedan that displays exciting exterior design. The front fascia carries the 35W Bi-Xenon headlamps with Adaptive Front Lighting System and trilobe styled grille that looks better with its sports sedan persona. Alfa Romeo has intuitively designed the body elements of Guilia. It features lightweight carbon fibre bonnet with heat extraction scoops, side skirts, roof and a rear spoiler that adds value to its sports-inspired body. To further improve the aerodynamics of Giulia, Alfa has integrated Active Aero Splitter in the front lower fascia. It automatically optimizes the downforce and improves the driving dynamics as well.

While the rear diffuser further advances the game and keeps Guilia stick to the road. It also improves the handling on corners and gives you a confident ride. You’ll also get the quad exhaust tips in the rear. They look great and fits flawlessly into the rear fascia. The 19-inch forged alloy wheels are provided with red brake calipers to complete the overall persona of Guilia. All these elements give Guilia an elegant sporty style that is unique in every sense. 

To give you a composed ride, Giulia Quadrifoglio gets the Alfa Romeo patented aluminium suspension. In the front, Alfa-link double-wishbone suspension comes with semi-virtual steering axle and in the rear Alfa-link suspension is paired with a vertical rod. This configuration is the same as of the SUV version of Qudrifoglio. However, this setup works much better in the sedan Giulia. Its compact size enables efficient aerodynamics and gives you a confident ride while cornering or performing sharp turns. The razor-sharp handling also contributes to the effortless driving and magnifies the sense of driving Giulia Quadrifoglio. 

The 2.9L bi-turbocharged V6 engine has become a new benchmark of Quadrifoglio cars. This aluminium engine works differently in the sedan body of Guilia than in the SUV Quadrifoglio. It offers satisfying power and better throttle response. The power delivery is linear, and thanks to the 8-speed automatic transmission that is highly refined and gives you reliance as you switch the gears by holding up and down the steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. With this configuration, the 2.9L V6 engine proves to be class-leading in terms of performance. It can produce a maximum power of 375 kW at 6,500 rpm and torque of 600 Nm at 2,500–5,000 rpm. With the V6, Guilia Quadrifoglio can get from 0–100 in just 3.9 seconds and can reach best in a class top speed of 307 km/hr, without producing and grousing noises. Despite the performance that this V6 engine delivers, it can still provide a combined fuel efficiency of 8.8 L/100 km. 

Giulia Quadrifoglio epitomises the innovation of Alfa Romeo sports cars. It gets every element that completes the racing in a sports sedan. Like, the Brembo brakes are installed in both front and rear wheels to give you secure braking even while turning on corners. The Brembo brakes get different configuration in both front and rear wheels. In the front wheels, Giulia comes standard with 6-piston calipers and ABS. Whereas in the rear, 4-piston calipers are installed with ABS. The safety gets better with the standard driver-assist features that include Automated Emergency Braking, Semi-autonomous driving mode, Blind-spot monitoring, Active Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, and six airbags for both front and rear passengers. 

At $158,900, Giulia Quadrifoglio is priced higher than the competition for a certain reason. That’s because it offers everything that is more advantageous than what its rivals offer. However, as no sedan is perfect, the Giulia, despite its flaws, dominate the segment and gives you an amazing driving experience that is exclusively race-inspired. This sedan is unique in every sense, and it’s designed perfectly to define the same expression. With its fantastic ride quality, handling, and engine performance, it proves to be one of the best sports sedans that you can get in Australia.
