Alfa Romeo has released a new, sport version of its Giulietta hatchback, featuring a subtle, red-edged bodykit as well as a good devices roster.
The Giulietta Sport’s five-hole, 17-inch alloy wheels ape those of the Giulia Quadrifoglio supersaloon, while the front as well as rear splitters are edged with red detailing. Side skirts, tinted rear windows, fog lights as well as an “extra-large” twin exhaust are likewise included, while the Giulietta sport is offered in the exact same Misano Blue paint previously reserved for the fast Giulia as well as Giulietta Veloce.

The focus is much more on the driving feel than outright performance as far as engines are concerned. Alfa is providing the Giulietta sport with a 117bhp 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol or an similarly powerful 1.6-litre diesel engine. These, respectively, take 9.4 as well as 10 seconds to go from 0-62mph, officially returning 45.6mpg as well as 74.3mpg.
Equipment levels are quite reasonable, with the sport bringing a “techno-leather” steering wheel, FCA’s familiar five-inch Uconnect infotainment system, cruise as well as climate control, plus a front armrest as well as Alfa’s DNA driving mode selector.
The sport slots into the Giulietta variety between the unnamed entry-level design as well as the Giulietta Tecnica. costs begin at £20,965 for the petrol Giulietta Sport, rising to £22,340 for the diesel. Those costs approximately correspond to a £1,200 premium over the base car. Meanwhile, the Misano Blue paint is a £525 option.
