Alfa Romeo Giulia

Friday, Apr 17, 2026 12:00 AM

Italian saloon looks as enticing as ever, but can it still objectively compete with BMW and Audi after a decade on sale? Can you believe that the Alfa Romeo Giulia is celebrating its 10th birthday this year?By modern automotive logic it should be a thing of the past, yet it has survived through interior updates and a major facelift in 2023 – and is now set to live on until at least 2027.The high-ups in Turin recently granted the car a stay of execution by shelving plans for an electric-only successor (an all-new Giulia will instead arrive in 2028 with both combustion and EV power) and reopening order books for the 513bhp V6 Giulia Quadrifoglio.That's good news for enthusiasts. While rivals have introduced plug-in hybrid systems, touch-sensitive tech and irritating ADAS, Alfa has kept things simple while offering excellent handling and driver engagement.But in 2026, does this old-school driver's car still hold its own, or have rivals like the BMW 3 Series, Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class left it behind?
