2015 Alfa Romeo New Cars

Details of the new and updated Alfa Romeo models launching in Australia in 2015.


Alfa Romeo Giulietta update – January

Updated version of Alfa’s Golf rival gains a number of updates for 2015 – and its January local release.

The range-topping Quadrifoglio Verde joins a month later. Mechanically, its 1.8-litre four-cylinder turbo is now the uprated version found in the 4C sports car – producing 176kW and 340Nm. And where it was previously manual only, the QV’s engine is now exclusively paired with a six-speed dual-clutch auto with paddleshifters (also from 4C). Alfa says the result scrubs 0.2 seconds from its 0-100km/h time (now 6.6sec).

The tweaked cabin incorporates new leather/alcantara sports seats and new Uconnect infotainment system.

Alfa Romeo 4C – February

The big news for Alfa’s long-awaited, oft-delayed product revival is the Giulia (see below) but in the interim a long queue is already starting to form in the CarAdvice garage to drive this Italian answer to the Lotus Exige and Porsche Cayman.

Alfa’s two-seat, rear-wheel-drive coupe is due about February and features a 177kW 1.75-litre turbocharged four-cylinder powering a lightweight body made from carbonfibre.

Pricing indications are in the $80,000 to $100,000 range – not cheap but more affordable than a Lotus or Porsche.

Alfa Romeo 4C Spider – October

A spin-off version with a canvas roof will follow the coupe about October time. Expect to pay an extra premium for having less bodywork but access to open-air motoring.

The convertible 4C sees only 60kg added to the mass, with the chassis tuned to mirror the coupe’s handling as close as possible.

Alfa Romeo Giulia - 2016

The belated successor to the 159 won’t make it to Australia until 2016 but will appear in 2015 as the pivot point to struggling Alfa’s revival plan – and constantly delayed return to the vital US market.

The Giulia will sit on Fiat Chrysler’s ‘Giorgio’ platform, transforming Alfa’s 3 Series and C-Class challenger from the front-wheel-driver of previous years to a rear-driver (with all-wheel drive a potential option).

Joining four-cylinder engines for top-end variants are expected to be V6s borrowed from supercar stablemates Ferrari and Maserati.
