Time is almost up for the wonderful Giulia - good job it's better than ever
If this Alfa Romeo Giulia looks familiar, that’s because it is - to all intents and purposes, this is the reviewed last year, shorn of its gold bits. It’s the 2024 Quadrifoglio that will probably see the car through to the end of its life, given Alfa’s commitment to an all-electric lineup by 2027.
The old-school feel extends to the changes underneath. There are steering and suspension tweaks, as per most updates, but also a change of differential. Out has gone the occasionally inconsistent electronic differential, replaced by a mechanical LSD. Just as BMW has confirmed it won’t sell rear-drive M4s in Britain anymore and a C63 makes the Eurofighter Typhoon look a bit rudimentary, so Alfa has thrown a traditional locking diff in the back of its RWD icon.
That has benefits on the road, too, even if they are busy ones around Milton Keynes. The Giulia drives out of every bend with conviction, accurately and reliably every single time. Obviously the tyres aren’t going to be pushed in that situation, but to get a feel of the car's laudable balance - plus all that’s good about rear-wheel drive - remains a real pleasure.
