A new rendering shows the Alfa Romeo Giulia with a noticeably less aggressive front end than the range-topping Quadrifoglio Verde (QV), previewing what buyers might expect from the standard versions of the brand’s new saloon. The image, created by Omniauto, comes as Alfa Romeo prepares to expand the Giulia line-up beyond the high-performance QV model.

Visual changes to the standard Giulia

The rendering suggests a more restrained approach to the Giulia’s bodywork compared with the QV. The car features a ventilated bonnet, a new front bumper, and an updated grille that dials back the aggressive cues seen on the performance flagship. Sporty side skirts and large alloy wheels remain, but the overall impression is more subdued, likely aimed at buyers seeking a less overtly sporting look.

Alfa Romeo has not yet released official images or details of the standard Giulia, but the rendering provides an early indication of how the non-QV models could differ from their high-performance sibling. The QV, designed to compete with the BMW M3 and Mercedes-AMG C63 S, leads with dramatic styling and substantial power, but the mainstream Giulia is set to take a more conventional route.

Expected engine range and launch timeline

Reports suggest the standard Giulia will be offered with a choice of engines, including a 2.0-litre petrol, a 2.2-litre diesel, and a 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel. This broadens the Giulia’s appeal beyond the 503hp, V6-powered QV. Alfa Romeo is expected to unveil the regular Giulia at a major motor show in early 2016, with both Detroit and Geneva cited as possible venues.
