2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce

The Giulia is Alfa Romeo's compact luxury sedan, the one that goes up against the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4 with a sharper edge. It's the rare sedan that feels genuinely alive from the first corner, with quick steering and a chassis that rotates eagerly. The ride is on the firm side, especially with the larger wheels, but that's the trade for how flat it stays through bends. Inside, the cabin is driver-focused with supportive seats and a clean layout, though rear legroom is tighter than some rivals. The Veloce sits above the Sprint and below the Quadrifoglio, adding sportier styling, a sport suspension, and more standard equipment like adaptive cruise control and a dual-pane sunroof. Under the hood is a 2.0L I4 making 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque, paired with a eight-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive for a responsive, balanced feel that earns 27 mpg combined. The Veloce can be ordered with a limited-slip differential and 19-inch wheels, sharpening its cornering further while keeping the ride firm but controlled.
