Alfa Romeo Giulietta Collezione revealed

Alfa Romeo has unveiled the Giulietta Collezione – a ‘special series’ of the Italian model featuring an upgraded specification including a distinctive contrast roof.

Priced competitively to other cars in its class such as the Ford Focus and VW Golf, from £18,925, the Giulietta Collezione is £1,160 more than the standard model.

Available in three signature Alfa Romeo colours – Solid Black, Alfa Red and Ghiaccio White – all Collezione models feature new body styling with 17inch titanium finish alloy wheels, titanium effect wing mirrors, darkened headlight surrounds and chrome door handles.

Opt for the Giulietta in Solid Black and you get a matte Magnesio Grey roof, while both the Alfa Red and Ghiaccio White models come with Solid Black roofs.

Inside, the Alfa features all-new black and red cloth upholstery with contrasting stitching and titanium finish inserts to the doors, central console and dashboard. Meanwhile, all Collezione models come with air conditioning and Alfa’s infotainment system, Blue&Me, as standard giving you an audio system, Bluetooth and SatNav at no extra cost

Under the bonnet, the limited edition Alfa Romeo keeps the same set up as the rest of the Giulietta line up, with a choice of two petrol and two diesel engines, the greenest out of the four being the 1.6 JTDM-2 105bhp diesel. Economy is up to 64.2mpg combined, making it the most economical compared with the Golf and Focus, but also the least practical thanks to just 305 litres of boot space. Similarly to its rivals, the Giulietta also comes with a five-star Euro NCAP rating.
