2025 Alfa Romeo Giulia Intensa

It's the rare sedan that makes you look for the long way home, with quick steering and a chassis that loves a back road. The ride is on the firm side, but it stays composed on rough pavement, which is the trade for that sharp handling. The cabin is driver-focused with supportive seats, though rear legroom is tight for adults on longer trips. Heated seats front and rear, a heated steering wheel, and the Harman Kardon audio system distinguish the Intensa from the base Giulia. Its 2.0L I4 makes 280 horsepower and pairs with an {automatic transmission} and all-wheel drive, giving it strong mid-range punch for daily driving. The Intensa can be ordered with a dual-pane sunroof and summer tires, which sharpen the handling further at the cost of some road noise.
