Hi Thomas, I drive the 2019 Veloce Ti carbon nero package. Your review is fair to the car and as you say no change to the looks of it from the outside as I love how it looks plus how people turn when you drive by. The handling is amazing, sharp and light versus to my previous BMW 330Ci. As for the interior, I agree the new Audi cockpit looks amazing, but I bought this car because of its driving pleasure not to look and play with digital screens. I will agree the touch screen is a welcome addition but it was not my main concern when buying this car and actually I prefer using the dial to control the infotainment system, I feel it is safer to use while driving rather than trying to point and touch buttons on a screen while at speed. Fuel efficiency is actually good when driven in Advance Efficiency on motorways, I get an average of 8.8l/100km. City driving in N I get around 10.4l/100 and in D which is so much fun can be between 13 to 14/100. I have driven 22,000kms and it is reliable, smooth and I always have a smile on my face when I drive her so it was my best decision to get this car! Thanks Alfa!!!

The best looking saloon on the market.

I drive a 2019 2.2 190 CV executive, and another brand Suv. Everytime i come back my alfa, I become happy again. No other cars are so exciting to drive, with very very high comfort level. IMHO, the marketing didn't support enough the market success of this amazing vehicle.

In my opinion is just awesome, finally a sedan with the right weight and engines. I mean 280 HP 5.1 from 0 to 100kmh...nothing to do with the old Alfa’s!!!

My Ti Sport / Veloce has been more reliable than my last two Audis and much more fun to drive in the 20K miles I've had it. It's a joy to operate in basically any situation and the seats and shift paddles in particular feel like they're out of something that costs six figures. The Q4 is also epic in the winter.

I think most of your critiques are of a personal perspective? Aside from the larger turning radius of the 4WD, a rear bias is preferable and expected from a RWD platform. Engine sounds are great. Who wants the entire neighborhood to be on notice? That includes the police! Also, many places have enforceable noise ordinance included with the issued speeding ticket! 😲 Although, that wouldn't stop me personally from acquiring it in a "QV" iteration though. Overall, here in northeastern America the Q4 is well welcomed if it's going to be a daily driver? Finally.. there's a real serious alternative to the commonly seen German cars everyone seems to be driving here. From my experience, the German cars are no more reliable than any other's pricewise, sadly to say. The Guilia brings Italian flare and bargin where there was only cookie cutter options available!

Good review Thomas, hopefully the tech and interior quality improvements bring more people into the brand and Giulia becomes a genuine contender against the German rivals!

I have the 2020 RWD 280 HP in Florida. Bought the base with 19 in staggered Pirelli tires, msrp 43k, but a huge discount off . Alfa white color with red interior . Absolutely a blast to drive .

16:27 laughing after a two clicks downshift? Is that Alfa happiness Thomas? 🤣

Thank You, Thomas, for bringing us the latest facelifted version, truly a car that deserves more recognition. Great review as always.

11:14 his laugh after acceleration, shows exactly what everybody feels when driving this thing

Another time when I've been glad for this channel and the work they do, I needed to get information on the differences between prefacelift and facelift Giulia, in 20 minutes I can know pretty much everything I need to know!

Reviews are detailed and clear, well done! Keep the videos coming. Also, just a suggestion, really hammer the engines more, show their capabilities. Thanks :)

Awesome Alfa and great review 👌

Man i desire this car so much. I don't care for the somewhat inferior interior compared to Audis. I test drived this beauty a few weeks ago and man im in love with the steering wheel and the chassis. My current lease ends in december so i can't wait!

I have a 2019 TI Sport Q4 in Montecarlo Blue (this is equivalent to the Veloce trim in Europe). Pros: * Premium feel * dangerously good looks * great acceleration/pick-up * beautiful cabin (I have the tan leather. it's a nice contrast to the exterior color). The steering setup is great, although the wheel could be a bit thicker (looks like that's been fixed for 2020). * unique. You don't see many of them in comparison to German competitors. * Front seating is great; sport seats are supportive and comfortable Cons: * Wind noise from sun/moon roof is loud * sensitive batteries (these batteries will throw codes sometimes). * Infotainment system is better in German rivals. * not as compact as something like a 3 series and at the same time back legroom is limited. All in all, I really love this car. She certainly has her flaws, but she puts a smile on my face every time I look at her. Happy to be an Alfista. Che bellissima!

Still looks beautiful. I can only wonder where they would go from here as the first gen car is already so great.

Have da 2018 Giulia Veloce 280 Montecarlo blue...tha luv of my life... alle beste Gefühle durchleben!! Grazie Thomas per la sua solita oggetivita... Cheers from Morocco!

Hi Thomas! Very nice and good car! Good job again Thomas.

Great review again and always like your advice on which model to go for thank you

Awesome and super informative video. I just purchased a pre owned 2017 Q4 and I love it. The center console of the facelift is better looking.

your video quality is amazing man! great work

Excellent review as always!, thanks Thomas! Regarding Giulia, it's a pity that Alfa has not spent enough money for its promotiion, so even 3 years after its launch, it still remains completely unknown to the majority of potential buyers of this segment. Having invested the huge amount of money that they did to develop the Giorgio platform, thanks to the visionary Sergio Marcchionne, I believe there is really no other way for Alfa to go if they want to eventually turn this project into a commercial success. Let's hope that we see this happen soon, because the car is absolutely a success in every other way, engineering, design, dynamics and so on, a gift to the real driver!

Great review! Keep up the good work. Very professional and straight to the point! By the way , what camera you are using? Cheers

I've read that the rear wheel drive can get pretty wiley on you. I've always had Audi's and I would absolutely need AWD in this cool little car.

Great review as always Thomas. I love the Gulia, especially the Veloce model with the engine you reviewed. If I would choose with my heart I would pick the exact model you reviewed. However, if I was to be rational, practically for the same amount of money (depending on specs of both cars) you can get the BMW m340i. Gulia does have the better looks, but BMW has the performance figures on its side as well as some other things. Not an easy choice.

Great review as usual. I am a BMW fan but I am seriously considering getting this car over the new 3 series. How about a comparison review Thomas?

One of the Best driving car in segment. Giorgio platform is better than you get in BMW, Mercedes or Audi. And this 2020 is not facelift the Real facelift is coming 2021 -2022 with Alfa Romeo Tonale. Led-matrix, 360 camera, digital instruments...... . And yes the first models 2016-2019 interior is have to much cheap materials and no info systems no digital toys but no one car in this segment can’t reach Alfa giulia in driving pleasure even bmw3 2019.

You are one of the best car reviewers if someone is looking to purchase a specific model. Thank you! I am still hesitating to replace our 2.0 Porsche Macan with one of these... What is your opinion?

Love this car! I test drove it and it was an absolute blast to drive. However, as you pointed out, it's just too damn tight in the back. I'd like to see some improvement here so it's comparable to a 3 series or an A4.

I don't buy a car for its infotainement nor door handle material ... I buy it for the pleausure I gain driving it...

Amazing video very good job! Great car i am in love

Italian and French cars are always outstanding (not always in a positive sense like the Fiat Multipla). With the 3 Mazda has managed it to combine that Italian-like design with Japanese engineering.

Good review, Beautiful car. Just a point - you are so tall that you are going to be space-challenged in most European sedans. It does appear that Alfa has another real winner here in this car. Best. Respect.

i LIKES zeh vay he says steering feel

Merci! Top review.

Such a gorgeous car! Still not sure it's worth it's asking price but a great drive reguardless

when is Alfa adding Race mode to Veloce? its ridiculous that the germans have that functionality to disable DTC at the touch of the button but only 510hp Giulia QV has that? I went from bmw 330d which i loved to Alfa Giulia Veloce 2017 with performance package and not regretting for a second, although more demanding than bmw on the small roads just like you said.

It's always been a great looking car. The colour is nice too. Much more elegant than the BMW 3 Series or Audi A4. However, as is common in new cars, far too much bright or brushed aluminium interior trim (particularly the steering wheel and centre console). Manufacturers should reevaluate the use of touchscreens. A simple knob (or actual buttons) would suffice.

Hi Thomas! Do you happen to know if the steering feel is coming from a mechanical change, or is it just software driven, which can be later on uploaded to the pre-facelifted Giulia's? Thank you!

Car and Driver mag. said it drives like a 4 door Miata. Must be fun!

Nice vehicle.

I love this car & this is a fabulous review, thank you. One thing I've noted in newer vehicle reviews is the near ubiquitous mention of Alcantara. So..I looked it up to see what all of the fuss is about. Apparently, not much, really. Alcantara is composed of about 68% polyester and 32% polyurethane, giving increased durability and stain resistance. The appearance and tactile feel of the material is similar to that of suede, and it may be erroneously identified as such.

Nothing about new added driving assistants. Where is this "...full review..."? Hope You will complete soon 🙂

Well done Thomas...typical Alfa...bet they sell!

Canzone del video per favore ?

Did Alpha have to pay BMW for the shark fin design?

I like how this is very German.

Paddles always need to be fixed! You should know that.

Anyone drive one with 280 hp q4 and want to share REAL fuel consuption?

It should have launched with all these updates at the beginning. At this stage they should have added full matrix LED lights, 360 view HD camera, rearview mirror with built-in screen, full digital instrument cluster..IMHO..the Jaguar XE was updated much better than this

why italian design always sexy

سيارة جميلة

Alfa is the history of cars. There is no mercedes, not Bmw comparing with Alfa Brand tradition .

It's a beautiful car. But, will it run?

No led, no digital screen, no design change of any kind....what exactly did they do in this “face lift”????

Bikini grille...I'll opt for Lexus instead, proven reliability.

There's so much dead space around the infotainment system. It looks like a design mistake. Alfa needs to rethink that part of the dash. At least it looks like they improved the pixels.

Why 2 channels??? Or this a fake copy channel of Autogefühl???

I don't find this car nice looking at all.

my opinion is that the new 3 series from bmw is the best mid-size sedan in this time.

it seems the tried to copy the BMW looks.

xenon in 2020 🤦‍♂️ Alfa can't ask for a premium price and do stuff like this. There are cars 2 segment bellow this gulia and non premium with more advanced lights. How come they didn't ask customers for that?!

Thank you Thomas for this review. This car just screams cheap and poor built quality. Bi-Xenon lights in 2019 - clearly an outdated technology. Also let’s not forget Alfa’s poor reliability history. Pass for me.

Neighbor has one, it is such a cheap-looking car in person. It's too bad they did not rework the front, old Alfas are so beautiful it makes me sad every time I see it. I think it's all the phony plastic: fake outlets, cheap black plastic grill, and especially the fake rear haunches. Keep it functional, not pretend. Edit: The user of plastics is necessary for pedestrian safety, I understand that. It's about the bubbles, creases, and fake parts automakers are doing with it.

Wow OMG Beautiful CAR Alfa Romeo Giulia 🇮🇹🏆👑🔝💎
