2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia And Stelvio Are Sexier Than Ever

Having arrived for the 2016 and 2017 model years, the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio have both received a mid-life refresh for the 2020 model year. Debuting at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show, the sedan and SUV retain their sexy Italian styling and excellent performance, though Alfa Romeo has made enhancements to both the interior and exterior. These updates include the standard Giulia and Stelvio as well as their high-performance counterparts, the Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio.

The freshened exterior styling offers an optional body-color appearance kit with fender flares, side sills, and a rear fascia. Sport models receive a new Dark Miron appearance kit with the same unique add-ons as above only in a dark-painted finish. Buyers can also opt for a slick carbon fiber package that includes a V-Scudetto grille, mirror caps, and Dark Minon badging for the Quadrifoglio models. New exterior colors for both the Giulia and Stelvio are Anodized Blue, Lunare White, and Verde Visconti, the latter being offered for the first time on the Giulia.

Step inside the cabin and you'll notice a new center console with an updated design including a machined-knurled aluminum-look rotary dial, upgraded knob materials, and improved storage. There's also a new race-inspired steering wheel, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and an Italian flag badge at the base of the shifter. And because Americans demand them, larger cupholders.

A new phone storage area with optional wireless charging is another welcomed feature. The 8.8-inch new touchscreen has improved performance thanks to an updated layout with additional personalization options.
