Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Gets Extra Standard Equipment for 2018
The Alfa Romeo Giulia has gotten $1,500 more expensive for the 2018 model year, but it’s received some additional standard equipment as a result.
The entry price for the 505 horsepower Giulia Quadrifoglio has risen to $75,085 for 2018. This represents a price increase of about $1,500, however Alfa has made frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking standard and also thrown in a 15-speaker Harmon Kardon audio system. The active safety tech was formerly a $500 option for the 2017 model year and the audio system a $900 option, so really this only represents a price increase of $100.

For 2018, the Giulia Quadrifoglio’s 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 is making the same 505 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque as before, and linked to the same eight-speed automatic transmission. Alfa hasn’t announced any new exterior or interior color options for the new model year yet either, so we’re inclined to believe the high-performance Giulia will remain the unchanged in that regard as well.

Still no manual transmission for the U.S. market. Hugely disappointing.
This will never convince a die-hard manual driver, but simply put: This Giulia is designed and tuned with dynamics that render a true manual transmission obsolete. I spent an hour test driving a 4-cyl Giulia at our dealer's launch event in June. Loved its dynamics. The logic in the automatic transmission is so good, plus you can override the auto with the paddle-shift and manual-mode shift lever which shift quicker than a human... I do not miss a manual gearbox in the Giulia one bit.
