It’s been a long time<\/a> in the making. It has changed names<\/a> several times along the way. But it’s finally here. Well, almost. It’s the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, and it’s coming to the Geneva Motor Show<\/a> this March to coincide with its phased market launch across Europe next year to coincide with the marque’s centenary.<\/p>\n

Positioned just above the MiTo in Alfa’s lineup (and, tellingly, below the anticipated upcoming 159-succeeding Giulia), the Giulietta replaces the 147 as Italy’s answer to the Volkswagen Golf. Since Alfa’s parent company Fiat already targets the Golf with its own Bravo, though, some might consider this more of an aggressively-priced competitor to the Audi A3. The hatchback takes its styling cues from the sumptuous 8C Competizione<\/a>, but carries it off in a decidedly more aggressive way than implemented on the MiTo. Plenty of glass also make the cabin more airy, with a body-colored panel running across the dashboard.<\/p>\n

A range of transverse four-cylinder engines – both gasoline and diesel – will be on offer, producing between 120 and 170 horsepower until a 230 hp Quadrifoglio Verde<\/a> model comes along. They’ve all got start-stop engine management and Alfa’s DNA adjustable suspension system as standard equipment. Fiat’s cutting-edge MultiAir valve-actuation system will eventually find its way into all of the engines, while the selection of five- and six-speed manual gearboxes is set to be joined by a new dual-clutch transmission as well.<\/p>\n

The new Giulietta marks a pivotal product launch for Alfa Romeo, as the company is hoping to make this its volume offering the most prolific model in its history – with production targeted for an ambitious 100,000 units annually. Check out the trifecta of images in the gallery below and the press release after the jump for full details.<\/p>\n
