Outstanding in Its Field

Visit Crown Alfa Romeo of Dublin, your premier Alfa Romeo dealership, and let us show you how the 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia outshines the BMW 3 Series 330i xDrive from performance to technology to safety & security. This compact executive car with a Class-Exclusive lightweight carbon fiber driveshaft, a redesigned interior, and a new 8.8-inch touchscreen with available 3-D navigation, refuses to be outdone.

Designed for Perfection

One look at the 2020 Alfa Romeo Guilia tells you this car was engineered with perfection in mind. It’s near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution offers not only the look of balance and power, but superb handling and steering that gives you expert traction and control for the perfect drive. You don’t get this from the 2020 BMW 330i xDrive with an overall driving experience that hasn't changed all that much from it’s previous models.

Not only does the 330i xDrive fail to achieve the look of balance at the heart of the Guilia’s eye-catching appeal, but its 3,764 lbs curb weight can’t compare with the lightweight carbon fiber driveshaft that gives the Giulia its impressive power-to-weight ratio.

Outperforming Its Competitors

To outperform another vehicle you’ve got to outpower them. The 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia does that in spades with its Best-in-Class standard 280 horsepower, Best-in-Class standard 306 pound-feet of torque, and Best-in-Class 0-60 mph in a breath-taking 5.1 seconds (with all-wheel drive models). The BMW 3-Series 330i xDive can’t compete with its inferior 225 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.

Considering the superior horsepower and torque of the Giulia’s All-Aluminum 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the fact that both it and the BMW offer an almost identical 24/33 (34 for the BMW 3 Seies) city/highway mpg is pretty amazing.

When you factor in the 2020 Guilia’s available Q4 all-wheel-drive system, 8-speed automatic transmission, and available aluminum column-mounted paddles shifters that allow you to choose how you want to drive, the performance and control of this compact executive car is hard to match.

Stacked with Safety Features

The 2020 Guila comes standard with intelligent backup cameras and rear park sensors that help ensure your safety and ease of maneuvering while backing into and out of parking spots. Another standard highlight of this base trim model is Forward Collision Warning Plus with Brake Assist. This gives audio and visual warnings if you approach another vehicle too quickly, and applies brake pressure when necessary.

The available Alfa Romeo Active Driver Assistance Package ramps up your safety and security with:

    Active Blind Spot Assist—provides a visual warning when other drivers are in your blind spot zone

  • Adaptive Cruise Control—allows you to set desired speed and distance from driver ahead and adjusts to maintain a set distance when slower traffic is detected
  • Traffic Sign Recognition—recognizes signage and displays current speed limit within the Driver Information Digital Cluster Display.

The optional Driver Assistance Dynamic Package encompasses more safety features by offering Lane Departure Warning and available Active Blind Spot Monitoring with Front Park Sensors.

BMW 3 Series models come with similar standard Forward Collision Warning with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, and BMW’s Assist emergency communications feature. They also offer additional safety features that can be bundled with a series of complicated packages that offer what they categorize as high-performance features.

2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia interior

Redesigned for Comfort and Control

Alfa Romeo has redesigned the Guilia premium interior to offer tech and convenience features that surround you in comfort and control. The new 8.8-inch touchscreen allows for customizable icon layouts that conform to your personal needs. The stylish Tricolore badge center console has also been updated for better functionality, putting redesigned controls in perfect ergonomic harmony with your body. And an available wireless phone charger tucked at the back of the console, just in front of the armrest, adds the ultimate in uncluttered convenience. Another reason to opt for the 2020 Alfa Romeo Guilia is the available Cold Weather Package that provides comfort and convenience with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated washer nozzles so you never have to worry about your windshield freezing up on you when inclement weather strikes. In comparison, the 3 Series 330i xDrive offers an available Premium Package that, among other things, also includes heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.

It’s Never Been Easier to Stay Connected

This Guilia’s infotainment system has an easy user interface with touchscreen capability. You can select menus and features using the buttons on the steering wheel or the rotary pad. Or you can interact with various functions by pressing the icons shown on the display. The standard 8.8-inch touchscreen is a perfect canvas for the Giulia’s available 3-D Navigation and Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. You can keep an eye on where you’re going while staying connected to your phone, your music, and your favorites apps right on the larger, full color display. Less user-friendly is the BMW 3 Series infotainment system with an optional touchscreen. You can interact with this system by touching the screen or turning and pushing the iDrive controller that sits down next to the shifter. Optional gesture control on the 3 Series comes only with the available and costly Executive Package. This allows you to adjust the volume by twirling your finger in the air near the screen, which can be a bit unnatural and awkward. Come to Crown Alfa Romeo of Dublin if you want to experience the incomparable 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia for yourself. Let our expert sales staff show you the ins and outs of the premium standard and available features on this compact luxury vehicle.
