 Alfa Romeo Giulia And Stelvio Get Gutted Lineup And Huge Price Hikes For 2025

  • Alfa Romeo is gutting the Giulia and Stelvio lineups and offering both in a single trim for 2025.
  • With the elimination of the Sprint, Ti and Veloce trims, prices have shot up $4,515 for the Giulia and $5,245 for the Stelvio.
  • Both models come nicely equipped, but there isn’t much new besides a paint color and a previously announced special edition.

If you’re indecisive, you’ll love Alfa Romeo’s 2025 lineup as the Giulia and Stelvio are dropping their Sprint, Ti and Veloce trims. They’re being replaced by a single well-equipped variant that starts at $46,195 for the Giulia and $51,195 for the Stelvio. Unfortunately, that’s an increase of $4,515 and $5,245, respectively.

For comparison, BMW‘s 2025 3-Series starts at $45,500 for the 255 hp 330i, while the all-new 2025 X3 begins at $49,500 for the xDrive30, packing the same 2.0-liter turbo engine.

While that’s a huge increase, the 2025 Giulia comes equipped with sport design fascias, a dark dual exhaust system, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. Buyers will also find adaptive LED headlights, dark LED taillights, and rain-sensing wipers.

Once ensconced in the heated leather power front seats, drivers will find a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an 8.8-inch infotainment system. They’re joined by a wireless smartphone charger, an ambient lighting system, and heated rear seats. Other highlights include a dual-zone automatic climate control system and an eight-speaker audio system.

An assortment of driver assistance systems come standard including Adaptive Cruise Control Plus with Full Stop, Active Blind-Spot Assist, Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus, and Lane Departure Warning / Lane Keep Assist. They’re joined by Rear Cross Path Detection, Traffic Sign Recognition, and front/rear ParkSense park assist.

You can pick any engine as long as it’s the 2.0L Turbo

A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine resides under the hood, where it produces 280 hp (209 kW / 284 PS) and 306 lb-ft (414 Nm) of torque. This enables the model to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 5.1 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 149 mph (240 km/h). Rear-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive remains an option. The car also comes equipped with a sport-tuned suspension and a Brembo braking system.

The 2025 Stelvio is largely identical, but it eschews dark taillights and rides on larger 19-inch wheels. The model also has a power liftgate, a heated steering wheel, and a standard all-wheel drive system.

Speaking of the powertrain, the crossover has the same turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine as the Giulia. It enables the Stelvio to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 5.4 seconds, before topping out at 144 mph (232 km/h).

Besides the trim and equipment changes, both models offer a new Verde Fangio Metallic paint color. Buyers will also find the previously announced Tributo Italiano special editions.
