2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia Exterior and Dimensions

Not much has changed exterior wise, mostly because it didn't have to. The Giulia is aging extremely well, not to mention the fact that the people who buy these things love the fact that it is so evocatively styled. It looks like nothing else on the market, and you can have it in a range of colors that suit its extrovert nature perfectly. HID headlights, LED taillamps, LED daytime running lights, and dual-tip exhaust outlets are some of the exterior features. The base Sprint model retains the 17-inch alloy wheels, while the Ti and Veloce are equipped with 18- and 19-inch wheels respectively.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia is a similar car in size to the BMW 3 Series, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. In terms of dimensions, the wheelbase is 111 inches long, while the entire body length comes in at 182.5 inches. It measures 73.7 inches in width, and the height varies between 56.5 inches and 57.1 inches depending on the model. In terms of weight, you're looking at between 3,521 pounds for the rear-wheel-drive model and 3,632 pounds for the all-wheel-drive derivative. That puts it on par with the 3 Series as far as weight is concerned. The 3 Series has a wheelbase of 112.2 inches and a total length of 185.7 inches, however. That explains why the Alfa feels so cramped in the back compared to its German rival.

What's the point of having a flamboyant Italian car if you can't have it in an equally flamboyant color? It's strange, therefore, that Alfa Romeo has slashed the available paint colors this year. The base Sprint Trim is available in only six exterior hues, one of which is standard. The standard color is Alfa White. Alfa Rosso (red) costs $330. The previous standard black is no longer offered. The metallic options for the Sprint-trimmed Alfa Romeo Giulia all cost $660 and include, Vulcano Black, Vesuvio Gray, and Anodized Blue. Newly added to this list for 2022 is Moonlight Gray, but gone this year are five of last year's hues: two grays, two blues, and a green. The Ti can be ordered in exactly the same colors and loses the two expensive ($2,200) tri-coat options named Rosso Competizione and Trofeo White it had access to last year. Of the metallic hues, the Veloce's palette retains only Vesuvio Gray and Vulcano Black, but adds Misano Blue, as well as Rosso Etna (a red hue for $1,200) and Ocra GT Tri-Coat (an ochre hue for $2,200).
