  • The New Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce is the Italian brand’s answer to the BMW 3 Series, the Mercedes C-Class, the Audi A4 and the Jaguar XE. When it comes to the driving dynamics, Alfa has literally smashed it out of the ball park on their first attempt with this car. The Giulia Veloce is a real driver’s car. The seating position is superb, steering fantastically quick with superb balance and a much more driver friendly feeling than the aforementioned. The Alfa Giulia’s suspension and steering setup, comprise a double wishbone up front and a four-arm layout for the rear axle, which makes it ride incredibly well. So, whilst the Giulia Quadrifoglio might be the pin up dream car, the Veloce could be the perfect stop gap. It offers fantastic performance to enjoy on the road and a genuine split personality, thanks to Alfa’s ‘DNA’ dial. In N-for-Normal mode it feels settled and easygoing, then switching to D-for-Dynamic draws out its heritage. Throttle response is sharper, the adaptive dampers stiffen and the systems allow more slip, I doubt you’ll want for more in a family saloon.

    Cheets AJ. My exact car. Got it August 2020, had the previous gen 2019 vulcano 200bhp supersport before it. The improvements in tech and cabin are superb. The performance and handling are simply epic. My wife's Bmw G20 330i msport pro? Nah, I take the Veloce everyday, makes you feel special! Wonderful machine.

    Great video! "For the money, this car, is simply superb!" Spot on AJ. I bought a Veloce, ex demo '21 MY, in November '21 and it is still making me smile every time I drive it. My passengers smile as well. Stunning to look at and simply fantastic/entertaining to drive. A wonderful alternative to a 3 Series, A4 or C Class. Real drivers buy an Alfa. Saving for a QV...

    Fantastic review AJ, really enjoy your videos. I’m strongly considering getting a Giulia here in Australia. I sat in one for the first time yesterday and fell in love with it but I’m a bit worried about the car constantly breaking down on on me… (looking at the sport and maybe the veloce if I can stretch the $$$). Keep up the great videos mate!

    Great video! Entertaining as usual - but also full of practical detail. One question though, if I may. Adaptive Suspension was mentioned a few times, but is it part of the Veloce as standard, or is it part of the “Performance Pack” which is an expensive extra on the Veloce?
    I’m enjoying The Player downloaded free Bookazine. Many thanks for that also. Caracal.

    It’s a wonderful car and I still get nice comments even today, beautiful car and plenty quick enough. With the dynamic setting and adaptive dampers on its wonderful on country lanes.
    Wonderful wonderful car, I may never sell it.

    I was in love with my Giulia and Alfa Romeo as a brand, however, I will never again buy/recommend another Alfa Romeo in my life. I had the brake by wire system fail on me and it caused me to crash and total the car. They sent someone from Bosch to diagnose the vehicle and in the charts it clearly showed that something malfunctioned (brakes were slammed 2 seconds before the impact at 40 MPH and it took more than 1.5 seconds for the speed to start going down.) Stellantis told me that they were not going to take responsibility for it and that I needed to have my insurance pay for the vehicle. Absolute garbage. I will never recommend this car brand to anyone again! Buy an AUDI, BMW or Mercedes instead.
