If you’re looking for a mid-size saloon car, but don’t want to lose it in a corporate car park among all the BMWs and Audis, the Alfa Romeo Giulia is a solid contender. Its characterful looks are joined by efficient engines and pretty good practicality.
Unlike similar alternatives such as the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series, the Alfa Romeo Giulia has a much bolder exterior design and is a sure head-turner if you spec it in Alfa Romeo’s signature bright red. There are, of course, tamer colour choices but even in grey, the Giulia looks more exciting than its German alternatives.
The stylish design continues inside. There, you’ll find a cockpit that’s slightly angled towards the driver, giving you better access to all the knobs and buttons. That said, some of the plastics you touch, such as around the centre console, are a step behind what you’d find in a BMW.
