The Alfa Romeo Giulia is a premium sports sedan that most Kenyans are yet to discover, and once they do, there’s no going back because who would want to abandon a sports car that has rear-wheel drive, sterile technology, clinical comfort, and exhilarating performance dressed in bespoke Italian design that is not only distinctive on the road, but draws attention immediately. Other cars take you from point A to B, but for the Alfa Romeo Giulia, it’s more about how you drive, the precision, and style before arriving at point B.

EXTERIOR
The Alfa Romeo Giulia has drawn a distinctive line between itself and the German rivals. Rather than just following aggressive styling cues, the Giulia separates itself by incorporating elegant Italian design and peculiar, subtle lines and proportions. It has been said If you can’t beat them, then don’t join them; organize for them to get beaten, and that is how this Italian sedan is giving its rivals a run for their money. 
The iconic triangular shield grille, otherwise referred to as the Scudetto, tells you this is an Alfa Romeo-owned product, paying homage to its predecessors, which also bore the same. The relatively narrow and swept-back LED headlights & daytime running lights are such a beauty, injecting modern sophistication into this car. It has a long bonnet, short overhangs, and a low roofline for maximum aerodynamics.
The rear features a trunk spoiler, LED taillights that match the headlights for a cohesive look, and quad exhaust outlets for an aggressive look and some noise. What has been described above is the bare minimum the Alfa Romeo Giulia offers. If you want a more aggressive and sporty look, you have the option of importing the Giulia Quadrifoglio.

INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
The Alfa Romeo Giulia interior is designed around the person behind the steering wheel. That is no surprise because it targets performance enthusiasts. If you are a family man, you’d better get a Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series. Leather upholstery, carbon fiber, and aluminum accents have been used for a premium look.
The seats are quite comfy and feature heating and ventilation functions. Occupants have access to a touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, allowing them to livestream Ed Sheeran’s live performance. Other features include climate control, USB-C ports, Bluetooth connectivity, and a premium sound system.
PERFORMANCE: How Does it Handle Kenyan Roads?
The Alfa Romeo Giulia is what it thinks it is. If you just want a stylish daily driver to commute from Kiambu Road to Upperhill, go for the 2.0 L engine. It is gentle and composed. For enthusiasts who want to showcase their prowess at ICD Road during racing events like Sunset Corsa or even taking it to Concours d’Elegance, the Giulia Quadrifoglio is your machine.
It may not be as fast as the Ferrari Purosangue, but trust me, it is fast enough to book you an appointment with the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA). So, when driving it along the Southern Bypass, you need to be careful. It comes with various driving modes to match the preference of the driver. Because of its speed, it is fitted with powerful brakes that can instantly bring it to a stop, averting any kind of collision. The weight distribution is excellent, allowing it to tackle sharp corners even at high speed.
