This Italian junior executive saloon, which replaces the 159, has the BMW 3 Series squarely in its sights. Unlike its frontwheel- drive predecessor, the Giulia boasts rear-wheel-drive and balanced weight distribution. And instead of a clunky robotised manual gearbox, the Giulia is equipped with a smoother 8-speed automatic. The turbocharged 2-litre petrol variant with 200bhp should be quick enough for most buyers, but there’s also a 510bhp Quadrifoglio version for those who wish to frighten M3 owners.
RIVAL: BMW 3 SERIES.
