Alfa Romeo Giulia Saloon Silver

Few will likely miss the passing of the Giulia’s diesel option, the choice now based around a single petrol engine in two states of tune, while the high-performance Quadrifoglio is pretty much a standalone model in its own right. For the regular Giulia that’s all all well and good but in this fleet-focused sector of the market the lack of any sort of hybrid is really going to hurt Alfa Romeo, especially when Benefit In Kind is such a key running cost consideration for company drivers. That’s a real shame because the Giulia is a charismatic choice but, faced with a tax bill potentially hundreds per month more than that hybrid 3 Series, C-Class or A4, it’s going to be an expensive one. The only relatively good news? Well, the more powerful and exciting Veloce version has pretty much identical CO2 and fuel consumption figures to the standard one so, if you’re shouldering those running costs, you may as well enjoy yourself while doing so.
