The European launch tour of the new Giulia and Stelvio, the highly successful premium models (last year alone, totaled around 10,000 registrations in Italy, despite a market increasingly competitive) which are evolving for the 2023 edition in terms of style and technology.

Giulia and Stelvio 2023
It is no coincidence that the commercial launch is preceded by the Evolving is performance art event which highlights the work and passion of the Alfa Romeo team, committed to improving something that is already perfect.
Giulia and Stelvio in terms of design gain a new look with the sophisticated adaptive Full-Led Matrix headlights.
In fact, the 3+3 lighting system is making its début, reminiscent not only of Tonale but of a renowned stylistic feature of the brand introduced by the iconic Alfa Romeo SZ Zagato and the Concept Proteo.
The three modules make up a single frontline of the new Giulia and Stelvio and simultaneously supply daylight and a dynamic direction indicator, guaranteeing the best lighting conditions thanks to the introduction of two sophisticated technologies.
They are the adaptive front lighting system (which provides continuous adjustment of the low beams based on speed and specific driving conditions) and the glare-free high beam segmented technology which, in low light conditions, automatically detects frontal traffic and / or in the opposite direction to avoid glare from other cars.
Also present are the welcome and goodbye device which is activated every time the driver locks or opens the car and the brand new Trilobo grille which confirms the strong family feeling with the new C-suv Tonale.
Looking at the cars from the rear, we note that the Stelvio has new rear light clusters with smoked glass and a glossy black finish, while the new Giulia adopts elements with glass and a transparent finish.
Other novelties can be discovered in the cockpit of Giulia and Stelvio.
This is the case of the brand-new, totally digital instrument panel enclosed in the historic 'telescope' eyelid.
The new 12.3-inch TFT screen stands out.
Totally digital, the cluster can be configured in three layouts: Evolved which represents the design vision of the Alfa Romeos of the future;
Relaxation with a specific focus on comfort, free from too detailed information and finally Heritage which is inspired by the analogue instruments of the brand from the 60s and 70s
. In this case a distinctive detail is given by the inverted numbers on the end of the speedometer (in the versions racing the dials were rotated to have the hand vertical at maximum values).
The new Giulia and Stelvio are equipped with a fluid and intuitive HMI (Human Machine Interface) to have all the functions at your fingertips.
In addition, the infotainment system ensures content and functionality.
The Alfa Connect Services platform offers a wide range of useful services for safety and comfort and is designed to offer Over The Air updates.
NFT (Non-Fungible-Token) technology will also soon be available on the new Giulia and Stelvio.
The dynamic qualities linked to the perfect weight balance were confirmed in the road test, with best-in-class agility and lightness and extremely precise steering.
In the logic of generational evolution, Giulia and Stelvio are even more silent and free from vibrations in the passenger compartment, a progress also linked to perceivable quality.
The range, similar to that introduced in the Tonale, includes the Super, Sprint, Ti and Veloce versions.
In addition, the top-of-the-range Competizione special series makes its debut with the new exclusive Moon Light matt gray colour.
The new Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio will be available in 160 HP diesel versions with rear-wheel drive, 280 HP petrol and 210 HP diesel versions, both with all-wheel drive.
The two new models can be admired during the Open Doors dedicated to the new Tonale Plug-in Hybrid Q4 on the weekend of 11 and 12 February, in all Alfa Romeo showrooms.
