Record summary

What to know first

Every Giulia trim now shares the same 280-horsepower turbo four after the high-performance Quadrifoglio was discontinued; Veloce is now an appearance/handling package instead of its own trim.

Model-year note

The Quadrifoglio (formerly the 505-hp V6 performance flagship) is discontinued, so its specs are not a current option.
