ALFA ROMEO GIULIA EARNS 5-STAR EURO NCAP RATING

Alfa Romeo's new sports sedan has earned the 5-star rating from Euro NCAP, with the highest score ever achieved by any car: 98% for the adult occupant protection.

This prestigious award has been reached thanks to the efficiency of a bodyshell that's light and rigid in equal measure, with extensive use of ultra-lightweight materials such as carbon-fibre, aluminium and aluminium composite. Furthermore, Alfa Romeo worked without compromises to feature, on board the Giulia, the most innovative technical solutions on the safety front: such as the Integrated Brake System (IBS), which significantly reduces braking distance (100 km/h to 0 in 38 m for the Giulia and 32 m for the Quadrifoglio version), the advanced suspension set-up with exclusive AlfaLink technology, and the most direct steering in class. These cutting edge solutions deliver outstanding road-holding and easy, intuitive control of the vehicle in every situation.

Standard equipment on the entire Giulia range includes Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Autonomous Emergency Brake (AEB) that detect the presence of any obstacles or vehicles on the car's trajectory, Lane Departure Warning (LDW), which detects unintentional lane changes, and Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) with Rear Cross Path Detection that assist the driver when overtaking, changing lane or exiting car parks.
