A staple of Italian manufacturing, the Alfa Romeo brand of luxury vehicles was founded in the early twentieth century by a French Automobile manufacturer and Italian investors making it one of the first European-made car brands the world has ever seen. As the generations of manufacturing have passed, you can find many an Alfa Romeo in New York as well as in Paris streets since they are of the top quality designed car brands in the world.  In this guide, we’ll go over the different models and their advantages so you have a better understanding of what type of vehicle to go with before making a smart purchasing decision that fits your needs.

1. Alfa Romeo Giulia

The Giulia has a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout with a carbon fiber driveshaft and aluminum alloy shock towers that helps with drive suspension. Sport, performance, and luxury packs are all available. The sport package has a sports steering wheel with an additional grip and Xenon headlights while the luxury package includes woodgrain trim and premium leather upholstery. The Giulia is a great car for those looking to add a bit more room to a vehicle that has compact sports performance capabilities.

2. Alfa Romeo Giulietta

The Giulietta is a 5-door hatchback style body chassis with a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. It has manual and dry-clutch transmission capabilities that allow it to offer a smoother driving experience. The engine includes a new 1.4L turbocharged jet-petrol that can consistently hit 232 horsepower. The Giulietta is the ideal car for newer families thanks to its spacious interior as well as its 5-star safety performance rating.

3. Alfa Romeo 4C and 4C Spider

The sports car models of the Alfa Romeo family, the 4C and 4C Spider are lightweight and have a rear-wheel-drive layout. They come in two-door coupe and two-door roadster styles and can both be driven with a 6-speed dual dry clutch transmission. It was designed by legendary Italian vehicle designer Lorenzo Ramaciotti and is what comes to mind when most people think of the Alfa Romeo brand. A 4 cylinder (hence the “4C”) turbocharged engine powers the car underneath the hood. The Spider is a bit heavier than the original 4C model because it has more features for more advanced sports car enthusiasts.

4. Alfa Romeo Stelvio

The newest model in the Alfa Romeo lineup, the Stelvio was introduced at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show as front-engine, all-wheel drive, compact SUV option. It is most similar to the Giulia sedan, sharing the same platform layout and has an 8-speed automatic transmission. Like the Giulia, the Stelvio is a great option for families looking for a spacious vehicle with performance capabilities. It has a 5-star safety rating and is currently the top-selling Alfa Romeo model on the market.
