The Alfa Romeo Giulietta [7] (Type 940) is a hatchback manufactured and marketed by Alfa Romeo, as a 5-door subcompact executive car. Production started near the end of 2009 and the model was introduced at the March 2010 Geneva Motor Show. [8] The Giulietta placed second in the 2011 European Car of the Year awards. In 2020, Alfa Romeo announced that they were going to axe the Giulietta and production ended on 22 December 2020 spanning 10 years of sales from a period of 2010 to 2020. [9] In total 469,067 examples were produced until 2020. [1]
The platform used in the Giulietta is Fiat Group's Compact, successor of the C-platform (base for Fiat Stilo, Fiat Bravo and Lancia Delta). Practically, this is an all new modular platform; only the central front part comes from the previous C-platform, however that part is also modified. [3] [10] Fiat Group used around 100 million euros developing it.[ citation needed ]
In comparison to older Fiat platforms it has a longer wheelbase, shorter overhangs and an advanced new type of MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. [8] Depending on the market and trim level, 16, 17, or 18-inch wheels were available. Available tire sizes were 205/55 R16, 225/45 R17, and 225/40 R18. [11] The wheels use a 5-hole pattern with a 110 mm bolt circle. [12] The length of the Giulietta is around 4.3 metres (14 ft). Only a five-door body was available.
In a viability plan forwarded to the US Government in February 2009, Chrysler (a partner of Alfa Romeo parent company Fiat) reported that the 147 replacement would come to market as the Milano and that it could be built in the US. [13] However, as of early 2010 Fiat was instead planning to concentrate on bringing larger models to the US, such as the Giulia. [14]
At the 2013 Frankfurt International Motor Show Alfa Romeo presented an updated Giulietta. [15] Trim changes included a new Uconnect infotainment system with 5" or 6.5" Radionav touchscreen, a new front grille, a chrome-plated frame for the fog lights, a new and more supportive seat design, new wheel designs (16, 17 and 18-inch), as well as new exterior colours: Moonlight Pearl, Anodizzato Blue and Bronze. A new diesel engine variant also arrived, the two-litre JTDM 2, developing 150 PS (110 kW; 148 hp) and 380 N⋅m (280 lb⋅ft). In the 2014 range, all engines complied with Euro 5+ (Euro 6-ready) emission standards.
At the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, a new Giulietta revision debuted with facelifted front resembling the new larger Giulia. Also the lettering and logo were updated to the new Alfa Romeo brand design. Trim line up was changed to Giulietta, Giulietta Super and Giulietta Veloce, which replaced the previous Giulietta QV but retained the same engine. Also a new 1.6 JTDm 120 PS (88 kW; 118 hp) diesel engine with TCT transmission was introduced, as well as a new exterior color and wheel designs. [16]
For 2019 Giulietta has updated engines, all Euro 6 D: a 1.4-litre 120 PS turbo petrol, a 1.6-litre 120 PS Multijet with manual or TCT automatic transmission, and a 2.0-litre 170 PS Multijet with TCT. [17]
The top of the range model is a version with 1.75 L (1,742 cc) turbocharged TBi engine rated 235 PS (173 kW; 232 hp), lowered ride height (15 mm (0.6 in) at the front and 10 mm (0.4 in) at the rear), 18-inch alloy wheels and 225/40 R18 tires, an enhanced braking system (330 mm (13.0 in) front, 278 mm (10.9 in) rear) with calipers painted Alfa red; dark tinted windows, aluminium pedals, cloverleaf badges, leather and microfibre seats plus sports leather seats as an option; dark brushed aluminium dashboard. [18] [19] 1750 is an engine size which has its roots in Alfa Romeo's history, with 1.75 L engines being used to power some of Alfa Romeo's first cars. [20]
The UK version was originally marketed as the Giulietta Cloverleaf, then Quadrifoglio Verde through '14-'15 before finally being renamed to the Veloce in 2016 until the end of production. [20]
In Geneva Motor Show Alfa Romeo introduced an updated Quadrifoglio Verde which has a new 1,742 cc (1.7 L; 106.3 cu in) turbo gasoline direct injection aluminium-block inline-four engine now upgraded to 240 PS (177 kW; 237 hp) at 5750 rpm and 340 N⋅m (251 lb⋅ft) at 2000 rpm of torque [21] and Alfa TCT 6-speed twin dry clutch transmission borrowed from the Alfa Romeo 4C. With the new engine the Giulietta's flagship can exceed 240 km/h (149 mph) and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in only 6.0 seconds.
This new facelifted version was premiered with a limited 'Launch Edition', recognizable by the black-finish on the sills all round. It was available in new matt Grigio Magnesio Opaco along with Rosso Alfa and Rosso Competizione. Each car has its own numbered plaque. Around 700 units were made.
The GTS Q2 is a version of Hong Kong market version GT Q2 with Sport Package. It includes the engine from 1.4 liter TB MultiAir TCT, with a 6-speed TCT transmission. The Q2 also have front axle limited slip differential system installed. [22]
It is a version using LPG and petrol fuel types. It includes Euro 5-compliant 1.4-litre turbo engine rated 120 PS (88 kW; 118 hp) at 5000 rpm and 206 N⋅m (152 lb⋅ft) at 1750 rpm, three different trim levels (Giulietta, Progression and Distinctive) for all European markets, 38-litre toroid type (ring-shaped) LPG tank at spare wheel housing, 6-speed manual transmission. [23]
The LPG version was unveiled in 2011 Bologna Motor Show. [24]
At Centro Sperimentale di Balocco in October 2014, [25] Alfa Romeo launched a 60th anniversary edition of the Giulietta. The Giulietta Sprint pays homage to the 1954 Giulietta (Tipo 750/101) which promised good performance at an affordable price. The 2014 Giulietta Sprint features a unique 1.4-litre MultiAir petrol engine rated 152 PS (112 kW; 150 hp) at 5500 rpm and 250 N⋅m (180 lb⋅ft) at 1750 rpm. Other changes also include a carbon fibre effect interior trim, sporty exterior styling including side skirts, rear diffuser and oversized exhaust.
The Squadra Corse TCT is a limited edition version of the Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde made for the South African market. It comes with the 1750 Turbo Petrol engine modified to produce 286 PS (210 kW; 282 hp), a custom sports exhaust and the Alfa Romeo TCT transmission. Only 100 of the Squadra Corse cars were produced. [26]
The range of engines includes the new 1.4 L T-Jet petrol and M-jet diesel family, all turbocharged. A six-speed manual and Dual Dry Clutch Transmission TCT (Twin Clutch Transmission) introduced at the 2010 Paris International Motor Show, will be choice gearboxes for customers. Fitted to the 1.4 MultiAir petrol and 2.0 MultiJet diesel, this compact six-speed gearbox reduces the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of both engines compared to the manual versions. The diesel drops to 119 g/km, [27] while the petrol is reduced to 121 g/km, [28] giving the latter best-in-class emissions and power output in its class for a petrol engine.
The Alfa Romeo Giulietta uses a new engine which utilizes a system known as Multiair. The system controls the amount of air going into the engine by controlling when air is allowed into the engine and how much the inlet valve opens. The system works by inserting a "tappet" between the cam shaft and the valve and the engine management system can control the amount of oil that is allowed into the "tappet" thus changing the effective opening profile of the inlet valve. The system can also change the overlap of the inlet and exhaust valves as well as changing the amount of lift and this allows the engine to maintain a steady pressure in the inlet manifold which is used to increase the amount of torque the engine produces while maintaining the efficiency of the engine. The system is said to increase torque by 20% while reducing emissions by a similar amount. All engines except the 1750 TBi have a Start&Stop system and all until 2016 are Euro5 rated. [29] From late 2015, all engines in the Giulietta range are Euro 6 compliant and all apart from the 2.0L MultiJet2 Diesel (2014) come with improvements to their CO2 emission and fuel economy figures. [30]
The top of the range model has 1.7 L turbocharged engine, the 1750 TBi – 235 PS (173 kW; 232 hp) with an exclusive Quadrifoglio Verde configuration (called Cloverleaf in the UK). At the 2011 Bologna Motor Show an LPG version of the Giulietta was unveiled.

The Giulietta was designed with a target of a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating. The car also has many electronic devices as standard: VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) electronic stability control, DST (Dynamic Steering Torque), Q2 electronic differential and Alfa Romeo DNA selector which allows driver to choose between three different driving settings; Dynamic, Normal and All-Weather, this setting controls the behaviour of engine, brakes, steering, suspension and gearbox.
The Alfa Romeo Giulietta is equipped with a reactive head restraint and gained five star () rating and overall score of 87/100 in the Euro NCAP car safety tests. [36] That result made it the safest compact car ever tested by Euro NCAP by then. [37] Giulietta's result (97% Adult Occupant, 85% Child Occupant, 63% Pedestrian Protection and 86% Safety Assist) means that the car will also have five-star rating in 2012 when the Euro NCAP system will have reached maximum severity. The Giulietta was named as best performing Small Family category car in 2010 by Euro NCAP. [38]

Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde is used as Superbike World Championship safety car (except in the United States rounds, where because of Fiat marketing, the Dodge Challenger SRT and some Ram Trucks are used since the Giulietta brand is not sold in the United States, but the Ram and SRT brands are.). [46] A fleet of Giuliettas was used also in Eco Targa Florio organisation. [47]
The Giulietta was used as a hero car in the 2013 film Fast & Furious 6 . To promote the film, Alfa Romeo published a series of photos featuring Giuliettas that were destroyed during the film's production. [48] In addition, six Giuliettas were offered with a dashboard plaque signed by cast members of the film, as well as the option to attend a stunt day with a stunt coordinator. [49]
The Handy Motorsports BTCC Giulietta
A NGTC-spec Giulietta entered the 2018 British Touring Car Championship by Handy Motorsport, achieving a race win. [50]
The Romeo Ferraris TCR Giulietta QV
In 2015, the Italian tuning garage Romeo Ferraris started to work, without the marques help, in the Alfa Romeo Giulietta to race in TCR International Series, appearing under the banner of Mulsanne Racing, with Michela Cerruti for the first two races of the 2016 season. They returned in the 5th round in Salzburgring with second car for Petř Fulín and a new color scheme, staying in the championship until the end of the year with two cars. For 2016 season, the engine was tuned for 330 PS (243 kW; 325 hp). [51]
In 2017, Davit Kajaia and Dusan Borković joined forces with Romeo Ferraris and raced the full TCR-season as GE-Force, taking three victories in Georgia, Bahrain and Salzburgring.
In 2018, mostly because WTCC and TCR Internacional became one, the team Mulsanne Racing entered the World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) with two Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV for the two Alfa Romeo legends Gianni Morbidelli, which raced until Vila Real being replaced by Kevin Ceccon (who scored a race win in Suzuka), and Fabrizio Giovanardi, who was replaced in the Suzuka round by Luigi "Gigi" Ferrara (2nd overall in TCR Italy 2018). For 2018 season, the car produced over 350 PS (257 kW; 345 hp). [52]
For the 2019 season, the car received a major aerodynamic upgrade being renamed as "Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce". Team Mulsanne maintained Ceccon and hired Ma Qing Hua (ex-Formula E and WTCC driver). Alongside the World Cup cars, Romeo Ferraris will have about 8–10 Giuliettas racing in TCR Italy, UK, US, Australia and China.
In 2020 the Team Mulsanne car driven by Jean-Karl Vernay entered into the World Touring Car Cup finished 3rd in the Championship overall and won the WTCR Trophy as the highest car without factory support.
In Jan 2022 it won the TCR section of the Michelin Pilot Challenge race in Daytona USA.
The Giulietta came as second in European Car of the Year 2011. [53] The Multiair engines used in Giulietta was voted for the best new engine in 2010. [54] The car has also collected the following awards:
Alfa Romeo Automobiles S.p.A. is an Italian luxury carmaker known for its sports-oriented vehicles, strong auto racing heritage, and iconic design. Headquartered in Turin, Italy, it is a subsidiary of Stellantis Europe and one of 14 brands of multinational automotive company Stellantis.
The Fiat Croma name was used for two distinct large family cars by Fiat, one a five door liftback manufactured and marketed from 1985 to 1996, and after a nine-year hiatus, a crossover station wagon manufactured and marketed from 2005 to 2010.
The Fiat Punto is a supermini car (B-segment) produced by the Italian manufacturer Fiat from 1993 to 2018, spanning over three generations. The third generation of the car was marketed between 2005 and 2009 as the Grande Punto, and between 2009 and 2012 as the Punto Evo, until the single-word Punto name was reintroduced. As of May 2013, nearly nine million units had been sold globally.
The Fiat Stilo is a small family car available as a three- and a five-door hatchback, as well as an estate, produced by Italian automaker Fiat. The Stilo hatchbacks were presented in March 2001 at the Bologna Motor Show, and launched on European market in October 2001 to replace the Fiat Bravo/Brava, with the Stilo Multi Wagon following in January 2003.
The Alfa Romeo 156 is a compact executive car produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Alfa Romeo. It was introduced at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show as the replacement for the Alfa Romeo 155. The 156 received a positive reception and in the following year went on to win the 1998 European Car of the Year award. The 156 saloon was discontinued in Europe late in 2005, while the Q4 Crosswagon continued in production until the end of 2007.
The Alfa Romeo 33 is a small family car produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo between 1983 and 1995. From a mechanical standpoint it was essentially an evolution of its predecessor, the Alfasud, whose floorpan, chassis and drivetrain were carried over — albeit with simplifications to the suspension and braking system, eschewing the Alfasud's inboard front brakes for instance. The Nissan-based Alfa Romeo Arna was launched shortly thereafter, offering a similarly sized but lower priced car.
The Alfa Romeo Brera and the Alfa Romeo Spider are mid-size sports cars using the GM/Fiat Premium platform, manufactured by Pininfarina and marketed by Alfa Romeo as a 2+2 coupé and roadster respectively.
The Alfa Romeo 159 is a car built by Italian marque Alfa Romeo between 2004 and 2011. It is a large family car in the compact-executive market segment with four-door saloon and five-door estate variants.
