What It Is
This mid-size sports sedan, based on an all-new architecture code-named Giorgio, will be the core product in FCA’s $6 billion revival plan.
Why It Matters
Alfa has to nail the engineering, the Italianesque styling, and the quality, because Giulia will take the brand up against entrenched German competition. It will also serve as the foundation for a whole family of spinoffs over the next three years, including both a compact and mid-size SUV, plus likely Quadrifoglio performance models.
Platform
Sized and priced close to the current Giulia has mainly steel bones, multilink suspensions, and a north-south powertrain configuration packaged for both rear- and four-wheel drive.
Powertrain
FCA is readying a new engine family that should include a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four, a 3.0-liter V-6, and a range of diesels. Some configurations will use a dual-clutch automatic.
