Filed under: Geneva Motor Show, Alfa Romeo
The beauty of reporting on new Alfa Romeo models from North America is that, after years of false promises, we may now finally be on the verge of actually getting some of them over here again. The new Alfa Romeo Giulietta will be replacing the outgoing 147 some time after it debuts at the Geneva Motor Show next March. If Fiat does ultimately decide to offer the brand through its Chrysler alliance, this will probably one of the models. The sporty five-door hatch will have five engines available at launch and four will be turbocharged and include automatic start-stop.
The turbos will be split between gas and diesel burners with the spark ignition models displacing 1.4-liters and producing 120 and 170 hp (with MultiAir electronic valve control). The 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter diesels produce 105 hp and 170 hp. All of the engines are Euro-V compliant and the gas engines will likely appear in future Chrysler products as well. With any luck, we’ll see this slightly-larger-than-Golf-sized hatch in about 2011.
