Alfa Romeo details full Giulia engine range, including diesels and 2.0 turbo

Alfa Romeo has released detailed specifications for the Giulia’s engine range, setting out the petrol and diesel options that will make up the bulk of sales across Europe. The announcement follows the earlier reveal of the range-topping Quadrifoglio, but the focus now shifts to the more accessible variants that will define the Giulia’s presence in the market.

Mainstream petrol and diesel engines for Giulia

The mainstream Giulia will be offered with a 2.0-litre GME T4 turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 200PS and 300Nm of torque. This unit comes exclusively with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Alfa Romeo claims a 0-100km/h time of 6.6 seconds and combined fuel consumption of 5.9 litres per 100km. This petrol model is clearly aimed at buyers prioritising refinement and performance over outright economy, and is expected to be the most popular Giulia in markets where diesel demand is waning.

For diesel customers, the Giulia offers a 2.2-litre JTDM engine in two states of tune. The entry-level version produces 150PS and 380Nm, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, and reaches 100km/h in 7.9 seconds. The higher-output diesel delivers 180PS, with the choice of manual or eight-speed automatic. With the manual, torque remains at 380Nm and 0-100km/h drops to 7.2 seconds. The automatic increases torque to 450Nm and trims the sprint to 6.8 seconds. Both diesels are rated at 4.2 litres per 100km on the combined cycle, reflecting Alfa’s focus on efficiency for European buyers.

Quadrifoglio remains the flagship
