The Timelessly Elegant Alfa Romeo Giulia
If you want to know what makes the 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia the clear winner over the 2021 BMW 3 Series Sedan, stop into Crown Alfa Romeo of Dublin and let us show you the superior power and capability, impeccable design features, and all-out beauty of the sports sedan with the mostest.
With over six Best-in-Class wins for its standard 2.0L engine, and the heart of an Alfa Romeo sports race car, it’s hard to beat the Giulia when it comes to performance. The BMW 3 Series Sedan can’t compete when it comes to top speed and 0-60 mph time.
Giulia’s Best-in-Class Power
The Alfa Romeo Giulia boasts the most powerful standard 2.0-liter engine in its class that wipes out the competition with Best-in-Class standard horsepower (280 hp), Best-in-Class torque (306 lb-ft), a Best-in-Class top speed of 149, and a Best-in-Class 0-60 mph time of a thrilling 5.1 seconds.
The 2.0-liter standard engine of the BMW 3 Series Sedan can’t catch up with a less impressive 255 horsepower, 294 lb-ft of torque, top speed of 130, and a 0-60 mph time of 5.6 seconds. You can control the power and performance in your Giulia with the turn of the DNA Drive Mode Selector. Switch between Dynamic, Natural, and Advanced Efficiency drive modes for a more interactive experience.
For a similar, but not quite as thrilling, experience, the BMW 3 Series Sedan gives you Sport and Manual shift modes with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters and Launch Control.
Keeping Safety Front and Center
The Alfa Romeo Giulia’s available Active Driver Assistance Package uses a backup camera, rear park sensors, radar, and semi-autonomous driving technology to keep you safer on the road. Systems like Forward Collision Warning Plus—that combines radar and a front-facing camera to scan the road ahead and determine if you’re getting too close to the vehicle in front of you—will send you audible and/or visual alerts so you can correct the situation.
The ADA package also includes Highway and Traffic Jam Assist, LaneSense® Lane Keep Assist, Driver Attention Alert, Active Blind Spot Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Traffic Sign Recognition.
When it comes to safety, the BMW 3 Series Sedan has standard Active Protection and Active Guard that help you react to dangerous driving situations. These standard safety features include Automatic City Collision Mitigation and Braking, Frontal Collision Warning, Automatic High Beams, a rear-view camera, and more.
Connecting with Modern Convenience Technology
The 2021 Giuilia keeps you in touch with an expansive 8.8-inch fully customizable touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, so you can take your favorite apps and music, streaming services, voice to text, and Navigation along for the ride.
Then, use voice-activated audio control to interface with these features so you can keep your eyes and focus on the road. The hands-free wireless phone connectivity allows you to easily stay in touch with your contacts through phone calls and texts while you’re driving.
You also get the clutter-free convenience of available wireless charging that’s easily accessible on the center console. The BMW 3 Series Sedans give you some similar tech features, including an 8.8-inch central information display, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, and wireless interfacing.
Perfection in a Sport Sedan
Elegant and modern, the 2021 Giulia series models—the Sprint, Giulia Ti, Ti Sport, and Giulia Quadrifoglio—shine on the roadways. The classic V Scudetto Grill, first introduced in 1934, has grown to become the signature of the Giulia’s speed and power. Go with the striking good looks, or opt for the available sport front fascia, with larger air intakes that supply more cool air to enhance performance (available on the Giulia Ti Sport.)
For an even more stunning look to its sleek exterior, the newly available exterior color palette includes rich new Rosso Villa d’Este and Rosso GTA, as well as Ocra GT Junior, and Verde Montreal.
Ride in comfort and style in the luxurious Giulia with a modern interior that’s well-balanced around the driver-focused console—available in sleek Italian walnut or oak. Relax in leather seating with 6-way power direction control including recline and lumbar support.
You can also choose from available packages that enhance your comfort and style. These include:
- Nero Edizione package—includes blacked out features and monochromatic emblems
- Carbon package—includes interior and exterior carbon fiber touches that give a sleek, high-tech appearance (available on the Giulia Ti Sport)
- Cold Weather package—includes a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, and heated washer nozzles (available on the Giulia Sprint)
- Sun and Sound package—includes a dual-pane sunroof and 10-speaker premium Harman Kardon audio system (available on the Giulia Sprint)
- Performance package—includes aluminum column-mounted paddles shifters and limited slip differential (available on the Giulia Sprint and Giulia Ti)
