A Sparkling Four-Leaf Clover

The Italian compact sports model, the "Giulietta." First unveiled in 2010 and making its Japanese debut in February 2012, the current third-generation model is popular for its intuitive performance and signature Alfa Romeo design.

Now, a new "Sportiva" grade has been established, enhancing the equipment of the flagship "Competizione" model, which pairs a 1.4-liter MultiAir turbo engine with a 6-speed dry dual-clutch automatic transmission. This new model will be positioned between the top-tier "Quadrifoglio Verde" grade, featuring a 1.75-liter direct-injection turbo engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, and the "Competizione."


The body, measuring 4,350mm in length, 1,800mm in width, and 1,460mm in height, is powered by the same 1.4-liter Turbo MultiAir engine as the "Competizione," delivering a maximum output of 125kW (170ps) at 5,500rpm and a peak torque of 250Nm (25.5kgm) at 2,500rpm.

The exterior features a four-leaf clover, the symbol of Alfa Romeo, which was previously exclusive to the "Quadrifoglio Verde," depicted on the aluminum kick plate, and a dedicated "Sportiva" emblem adorns the side fender. Furthermore, the "Sportiva" is equipped with exclusive 18-inch alloy wheels. Inside, leather seats, also standard on the "Quadrifoglio Verde," are included.

The body is available in five colors, including "Alfa Red," white, and black. The price is 3.68 million yen.
