Alfa Romeo to launch Giulietta Super and Veloce models

(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- Dhofar Automotive, the exclusive distributor of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in Oman is going to launch the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Super and Veloce models shortly at its showrooms across the sultanate.

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta lives up to the tradition of the best Alfa Romeo models, drawing on its heritage of dynamic performance without compromising on efficiency and convenience in everyday use. The secret behind this performance is continuous technological research, which finds its ultimate expression in the Giulietta. This is demonstrated by the compact architecture created with high-resistance materials that allow the weight of the vehicle to be limited, in addition to the Dual Pinion active steering and the sophisticated suspension configurations (MacPherson at the front and advanced Multilink at the rear).

The outstanding quality of construction throughout ensures excellent comfort; the longitudinal and vertical filtering capacity of the suspension ensures high driving comfort while important technical refinements such as specific interventions on the bumpers, wheel arches, pedal unit and luggage compartment make the Giulietta quiet and highly enjoyable to drive. Comfort is another strong point; the quality of the materials used for the dashboard and the ergonomics of the interior space in general contribute to a great on-board experience. There hasn't been any compromise on load capacity either, thanks to a luggage compartment with a very regular shape that can be exploited to the full.

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce is the true embodiment of Alfa Romeo spirit and design in a hatchback car. It has a very high specification with performance features that create a bold presence on the road for a compact car. These include sports suspension, side skirts, sports splitter and rear dam with Alfa Red moulding, exclusive 18' dual five-spoke alloy wheels, privacy glass, oversized Brembo brake system with red calipers and oversized twin tailpipes. Further unique details are the exclusive 'Veloce' badges, carbon finish headlights and dark, anthracite exterior finishing that surrounds the door mirrors and handles, front grille and fog light bezels.

It also features the exclusive powertrain inherited from the Alfa Romeo 4C super car - the turbocharged 240hp, 1750cc direct injection aluminium-block engine - combined with a next generation Alfa six-speed twin dry clutch TCT. A unique suspension scheme has also been designed to provide perfect balance, even at high speeds. The Veloce also features the oversized Brembo braking system with Alfa Red brake calipers and lowered sports suspension.

The performance nature of the Alfa Giulietta Veloce is further highlighted by new leather and Alcantara sports seats with integrated headrests and red stitching, aluminium pedals, dashboard bezel with darkflair finish, a sporty flat-bottomed steering wheel with red contrast stitching and carbon fibre finish on the dashboard contour and door panels.

On the technology front, the Veloce features the innovative Uconnect Radio Nav multimedia system with a 6.5' touchscreen display, Bluetooth, MP3 and audio streaming, Aux-in, USB connector, voice commands and an SMS Reader.

The Giulietta Super is powered by a 1.4l, 170hp Turbo MultiAir powertrain with TCT offers, as standard, fog lights, satin finish wing mirrors, dual zone climate control, cruise control and new seven-hole design 16' alloy wheels; every detail shows that the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Super is a powerful and distinctive hatchback car. With perfect ergonomics and Italian style, the Alfa Giulietta Super interior has been completely designed around the driver. The Super trim level includes dual zone automatic climate control, cruise control and front armrest - new grey and black fabric 'competizione' seats complete this hatchback car.

The Giulietta Super also features the innovative Uconnect multimedia system with a 5' touchscreen display, Bluetooth, MP3 and audio streaming, Aux-in, USB connector, voice commands and an SMS Reader.
