February 13, 2018,  Auburn Hills, Mich. - The editors of Good Housekeeping, in partnership with Car and Driver, today named the Alfa Romeo Giulia – including the record-breaking Giulia Quadrifoglio – as a 2018 Best New Car award winner in the luxury compact category.

Our experts assessed things drivers care about most, including value, safety, reliability, smoothness, handling, interior design, comfort and onboard technology.”
 
Alfa Romeo Giulia models feature an all-aluminum, 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission that delivers a class-leading, standard 280 horsepower and 306 lb.-ft. of torque, allowing it to launch from 0-60 mph in 5.1 seconds and achieve a top speed of 149 mph.
