2026 Alfa Romeo Giulia Engine & Performance
The 2026 Alfa Romeo Giulia exudes athletic character with its turbocharged 2.0L I4 engine, producing 280 horsepower and 306 pound-feet of torque, matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Combining confident capability with impressive fuel efficiency, the Giulia achieves an estimated 33 highway MPG and is offered with standard rear-wheel drive (RWD). An available Q4 all-wheel drive (AWD) drivetrain provides enhanced road traction and accelerates from 0 to 60 MPH in just 5.1 seconds.
The 2026 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce Package adds an available limited-slip differential (LSD) that optimizes rear-axle torque distribution during hard acceleration for increased grip, stability, and handling when cornering.
A standard carbon fiber driveshaft transfers power from the transmission to the rear differential while sharpening throttle response. Electronic stability control continually tracks wheel speed and steering input, making calculated throttle adjustments when necessary to help maintain stability to diminish skidding or sliding. The standard Alfa Romeo DNA drive mode selector lets you tailor performance to the road with select driving modes, including dynamic, natural, and advanced efficiency.

Top speed with this engine is 149 MPH, also best-in-class. An eight-speed automatic transmission delivers the power to the rear wheels or all four wheels, depending on what you need when you opt for a model with Q4 AWD, or just the back wheels with standard rear-wheel drive (RWD).

Among other premium import high-performance midsize sedans, the 2.9L twin-turbo V6 on the Giulia Quadrifoglio leads the way with best-in-class horsepower, torque, and top speed numbers — supreme power for a model with a deep legacy. The V6 engine is exclusively paired with rear-wheel drive (RWD) and, like the standard four-cylinder engine, sends its power through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia Weight & Handling
Responsive, agile handling is a natural outcome of the precise, nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution of the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Giulia Quadrifoglio. Inspired by the brand’s deep heritage in racing, Alfa Romeo accomplished this feat with the help of lightweight materials — including a class-exclusive carbon fiber drive shaft on every Giulia model. The Giulia Quadrifoglio takes this commitment to lightweight design even further with additional carbon fiber design elements, including in the hood, roof, rocker panels, rear spoiler, active aero front splitter, and on the backs of the available racing seats.
Alfa Romeo DNA Drive System
A highlight of driving an Alfa Romeo vehicle is the DNA drive mode selector system. Dynamic mode enhances the Giulia performance, while natural mode tones down the exciting performance for everyday driving. The “A” in the DNA system is for advanced efficiency mode, which allows you to spend more time driving and less time at the fuel pump.
The DNA drive mode system is standard on every Giulia model except the Quadrifoglio, which features an exclusive DNA Pro drive mode selector with race mode. Race mode activates overboost, enhances the responsiveness of the suspension, exhaust, steering, and shifting for dynamic driving, and deactivates traction and stability controls — a pure driving experience with you in total control.
See our DNA drive mode research page for more information.
