Alfa Romeo has come to the Geneva Motor Show with a refreshed lineup. The Italian carmaker has showed the restyled Giulietta and MiTo at the event, and the Swiss venue also served as the stage for the public presentation of the regular version of the Giulia.
As most of you know, Alfa Romeo unveiled the performance version of the Giulia before the standard model, and the latter was still under wraps before the Geneva event began.
Thankfully, Alfa Romeo had a grip on the situation and revealed the regular trim versions of their brand-new sedan. You cannot buy it yet, but at least you can admire its elegance in a trim level that doesn’t involve a big price tag and a 510 HP engine.
The Giulietta range received a facelift just before it got presented at this year’s Geneva event, and we can see that the car has not changed dramatically.
We are talking about a revised interior, mildly updated engines and transmissions, along with minute design modifications. In a way, it is understandable, as it is just a facelift for the Italian compact car, but the bread and butter of the Alfa Romeo range could have received extra attention from the company’s development team.
However, the Giulietta range was also revised in 2014, so this might be a plausible explanation for the small design changes applied to the car this time. The standard equipment level has been improved, as have the other equipment options in the range. Out of the nine powertrain options, the Giulietta has a new 1.6 diesel engine available with a twin-clutch transmission. Customers also have a choice between more alloy wheel designs and a wider array of exterior color options.
The Alfa Romeo MiTo also got a small facelift that was unveiled at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. The Italian supermini received the brand’s new logo and front grille, as well as the new font used by the company.
Furthermore, the MiTo now has headlights with a restyled graphic, as well as improvements to the infotainment system. The latter comes with a five-inch display available with the UConnect system, which is now able to access Facebook, Twitter, and apps like Deezer and TuneIn.
On a mechanical level, the Alfa Romeo MiTo received a power hike for its 1.3 MultiJet engine, which went from 85 to 95 HP. The Italian brand split the MiTo range into three equipment levels: MiTo, Super, and Veloce. The top-level trim gets a new rear spoiler, dual exhaust system, 17-inch alloy rims with black tint, and a stiffer suspension.
