- The MY2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is a car that i think will really tempt people to move from other brands into Alfa Romeo. The Giulia Quadrifoglio is a absolute beast of a car It runs a 2.9 V6 twin turbo engine producing 500 bhp through the rear wheels. This is a serious car and the question is will the new MY2020 Giulia quadrifoglio destroy the competition?
well taking what we know from the current my2020 Giulia that i was fortunate enough to go to Italy for the launch. We know that the interior will be much improved. Will we see changes to the engine? will we see changes to the design? its all exciting times and i cant wait for it to be launched!

The Giulia quadrifoglio is a stunning DRIVER'S car. Period. For those whining about the interface etc - stick an iPad over the screen! It's a sheer driving experience every time I step into mine. Love it. Never driven anything that has so much excitement and a sense of occasion about it.
It’s defo an occasion. Absolute beast!
Hey Hiten, I'm planning to get an alfa romeo giulia veloce (280hp) in a couple years, do you think it'll still be good? How is the interior quality? All I care for in infotainment is a good navigator as I travel to a lot of different places, and a good menu. I don't need touch screen etc. Just listen to music and navi. My current car is a bmw 428 with 245 hp and rwd. I heard you can't switch off controls on the giulia, is that correct? Sorry for bothering, do you think it is a good daily driver? If so I'd get the awd.
@Cliffracer it’s a great car and will still be great in 2 years. To be honest 280 is more than enough for British roads. Also with the nav it’s ok however, you’ll be using Android auto or Apple car play anyway so google maps will be the nav to use. Good luck with your purchase and with awd you’ll be having fun in the rain too!
@@H2TEN thanks a lot! I'm from Italy btw! I'm waiting because taxes are soo high in Italy. A quadrifoglio would cost me around 5000+ yearly only for taxes...
The engine and chassis are incredible.
The Giulia is already the best in category!
It’s a mega super saloon for sure
Why is it.
@Keyser Soze Don't think the hahahahah was really necessary, but to each their own. For driving experience it truly is. Cheers.
@Keyser Soze most reviews stating how good it is, as a drivers car.
Got nothing to do with being a Fanboy, I typically like the M cars, but Quadrifoglio is a fantastic drivers car, no doubt about it.
@Keyser Soze The Giulia is the daily of my friend for almost two years now, i know very well the car, and learn how to talk with peaple you dont know, If it were personally it would break your face so you can learn to have respect! You probably are a german fanboy
For me, I found the Ti Sport / Veloce to be the sweet spot for daily driver duty for several reasons:
(+) The Q4 system in the non-QV Giulia is outrageously versatile, running full rear wheel drive until you start really slipping in the snow or under hard launch. Wish they offered it on the Giulia QV.
(+) Better equipped with colored leather options and a beautiful front and rear panoramic sunroof that really lightens up the dark cabin
(+) The Veloce is lighter, more nimble feeling while also being easily tunable to 350 HP and 4.3 0-60. Realistically as fast as you'll ever need on public roads and you actually get to use the power without worrying about dying or getting arrested, kind of like an MX-5.
(+) Much lower maintenance, fuel, and depreciation costs.
I would consider the QV as more of a weekend car, with it's raucous soundtrack, truly excessive/glorious power band, and fully defeatable traction control.
Hey. Great work fella. Now then having moved from a Bmw M2 to a Stelvio Quad the interior is more then acceptable. Yes the new model is and will be better in terms of tech but when the thing drives that good you don’t mind. Class leading 2020 model I hope so. Go Alfa.
I was so pissed off at myself recently after purchasing a BMW M3 that I did not test drive this car.
After test driving one not too long ago all I can say is, it’s better than the M3. 👌
Sop Lim You would appreciate the Giulia even more in case you could drive it daily!
WAAYYYYYY BETTER
I had an M4 Competition for two years and swapped it for a Quadrifoglio.... I took quite a hit on depreciation on the Beemer and only had my Quadrifoglio for two months but I don't regret it for a minute. It just puts a smile on my face every single time I drive it.
I own a Giulia and if I won fortune on the lottery I would buy another (depending on the prize almost certainly a Quadrifoglio), I honestly can't say that about any other car I have owned. There is always something else out there that is more tempting. If anyone is tempted, go and drive one, you will be sold on it!!
You can tell it has some kind of Ferrari presence specially in that red colour
Yes! The Ferrari is born by the Alfa Romeo!
Fully agreed on the exhaust, it needs to have a separate on/off button. Hopefully they will also add an Individual mode where you can mix and match engine/exhaust/suspensions settings, like in every other car of this category and to be fair on hot hatchbacks that are half the price.
There is a mod u can get that allows u to open the exhaust valves, independent of the drive mods
❤ 🇮🇹 Alfa Romeo 🍀👍
*fantastic car, but still we wait for an action video for the alfa guilletta veloce and its acceleration on the road. Also if there is any information about the next generation. Thanks dear so much*
Love the car. Nice to see that some of the 'design errors' of the 2017 model have been solved ... ;-)) But the front fog lights are still missing ... if you want to improve the safety features of a car ... why wouldn't they give the car front fog lights ??? Don't they have any fog in Italy ?? ... ;-)))
Fog lights are integrated into the main light cluster
No fog in Italy. Its sunny all the time
I own a 2019 and consider it nearly perfect. My only complaint is the poor visibility with the rear view camera. It has just enough tech, but not so much as to take your focus off driving. My Audi S5 was horribly over teched and confusion to operate, so that you were often distracted. Love this car.
Oh man... Every time I watch a video of yours I miss more my GT 😭
Happy New Year Stef! All the best for 2020! 🥳🥂🙌
Being a QV owner, I agree it is all about the driving experience. The seats are great, the suspension is great, the gear change is fine, the steering is very accurate and acceleration is mad. This is good enough for a "Q" like car :-)
Giulia Quadrifoglio 2020.... orgasmic.
I wonder if the AWD system from the Stevio would fit in the Quadrifoglio. I don't think it should be a default option since many purist probably want RWD, but if we're talking pure performance it's pretty clear that Quadrifoglio is traction limited. You can see it in a lot of track videos like the Nurburgring for instance, the rear is always wanting to step out.
ive just switched from a Stelvio to a Giulia Nero Edizone no matter how goood the SUV was it does not come close to the Giulias performance a handling, the QV is simply stunning in current form so the 2020 is going to be a game changer, only one colour for me a thats Red.
BEAST CAR😍
The only thing the giulia needs is a diff software similar to the m3. That's it.
If i could buy it, i would happily buy it over german rival series. The giulia is sexy as fuck. I do think she depreciate fast. I see used models already around 60k. When you bought it for 150k it drops fast.
The interior totally matters at that price
Stef. Would it be possible to Try and get a Quadrifoglio with winter tyres for a review? Be nice to see how they cope.
th-cam.com/video/TaDvkxHROAs/w-d-xo.html
@@StefABtv Ah thanks for the link. As I thought transforms the car in the colder temperatures.
@Keyser Soze Depends where you live & the extent of winter! Certainly useful in Buxton in the High Peak, even when not snowing lots of cold rain & stopping distance much improved in wet below 5degs- a common ocurrence. Cost also not prohibitive so makes sense IMO, saves your Summer tyre wear too whilst improving safety!
Looks like you are very tempted 😀
Mega car these things :)
12:35 you changed the steering wheel from quad to stelvio and it’s left hand drive
Fantastic car.😍😍😍😍 Alfa Giulia
Only people that drive Alfa Romeo knows about the soul.... But why Alfa Romeo still underated!
I think that most people know so little about cars. As a result they buy german cars because everybody say it's nice.
@@stanislas4990 yup... we can know the character of the person who that owned Alfa Romeo. Even im from Malaysia....I have a soul to owned 3 Alfa Romeos
@@donshafiq3181 Exactly, you have something different from most other drivers when you drive an Alfa Romeo.
Beautiful car no doubt about it
Did later models get an OPF/GPF and if so did it adversely effect the noise from the exhausts?
Still got it my guy
Thanks man 🙌❤️
I cannot understand why you would be lauding this car as a driver's car and then saying how Alfa "needs" to be adding autonomous modes and touch screen dashboards. It's nonsense. Yes, the graphics on my MY17 car are not the most modern, but it doesn't detrct from my enjoyment of driving it. I don't think I will be swapping mine for a MY20 car by the sounds of it.
Interior really lets this car down. Absolutely beautiful from every angle outside but inside is like a Volvo.
I own a 2017 Giulia Quad that I custom ordered....I didn't give a rat's ass about the navigation.....
A drivers car - it doesn’t matter.. 👍🏽
Is there a Maserati Quattroporte equivalent Alfa Romeo?
What a beast. Isn’t this a poor mans ferrari? The engine isn’t too far from it?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_F154_engine
The reaction time/sensitivity on the touch screen is a joke.
boring ........
So the election diff is fixed now?
I agree, interior is not the best and this is not very important in this car, however BMW offers similar driving dynamics with modern and up to date, fancy (ugly for me) interior.
Alfa needs to do everything good if they want to sell their cars. There is not enough driver's perspective buyers so that Alfa could live only by selling their cars to them, but they need to sell the car to the average idiot that needs cup holders and infotainment system similar to what Germans offer, also the sound of a heavy/quality car when they slam the doors (facepalm).
Just need ventilated seats, job done.
Really? I even got the carbon sparco's. By by heated and electric adjustable seats. Totally irrelevant if you ask me.
As the daily through an Arkansas summer, yep ventilated cooled seats would be awesome.
@@93455Driver now I do understand, over here we don't have that southern climate. didn't thought about that.
Dirk Cuypers The heat and humidity is unreal in states like AR, GA, MO, not a dry heat like in California. I think in the UK AC in the was an extra cost option up until about 2000, now a norm (I think).
@@93455Driver so true! A/C was a ridiculous overpriced extra for yrs on UK spec cars, not anymore thankfully!
It will destroy the competition in poor resale value. Car is worthless in 3 years. Interior from a Dodge Dart. Great engine and chassis but man is that car a hunk of plastic shit. Lease and run fast.
🤣
Should release a special model without all that autonomous and safety crap.
Awesome car, marketing needs to step it up and get these in the right hands.
Already one of the best in its class, but I think the competition will be much tighter in 2020 with The BMW G series M3/M4 due out, and with the M Xdrive and the S58 engine it’s going to be a serious package!...
As a MY 18 QV owner, I just don’t care too much about “led headlights”, touchscreen, etc. I think the console is more than adequate to its competition. The gear lever, however, is cheap plastic and definitely needs to be replaced. I understand that Alfa needs to add the other items to keep up with the competition, but for me, it doesn’t really matter. What I would like to see is more interior color options, a real dual clutch transmission and the option of a sun roof vice a carbon fiber roof. As far as the valve go, I installed the Forza exhaust controller and programmed it into the home link. Works fantastic.
It already has the ZF 8HP75 gearbox which is truly fantastic as reliability goes.
Glover Carvalho Right, stick shift is no option, useless and obsolete with 8 to 10 speeds efficiency with a useful 9 to 1 ratio range minimum. The only minor drawback of such a TC gearbox over a less durable fast wear dual clutch shaker is no launch control and the larger cooling demand, but launch control is a useless feature on the road, disconnected at The first recall occasion on GT-R to avoid premature destruction.
I’m in the market for one of these, but I’ve read a lot of reports on forums and reviews regarding the reliability issues. I had one as a courtesy car MY18 which I truly loved but after a week of driving had several engine lights and limp mode. What is Alfa going to do regarding reliability..?
They are good. Also Alfa now offer 5 year warranty on them so even if there was an issue they fix it.
I bought it 1 year ago. Did almost 10k miles with ZERO issues. I come from BMW and it's the first time I experience no issue whatsoever with a car.
@@Sav79rio may i know what year is your Alfa?? and is it the Giulia QV?
sunnyboy8644 2019
sunnyboy8644 yes QV
I give points to Alfa Romeo for trying. It's a tough market to compete in. I'll give them a look in another 5 years. By then, they should have their quality and reliability dialed in. Keep improving!
Got me a used MY18 Q in Blu Montecarlo. No issues, fantastic car at all. I have modern cars and youngtimers in my fleet, the Alfa isn't a black sheep when it comes to reliability. That's just bs. My father had a 71 Giulia back in the 80s, same back then - it's not a toy. If you want an iPad on wheels, go away. If you want a drivers car, go for it.
I have the regular Guilia and I love it. Getting the Stelvio in two months time. Hopefully one day soon I can afford the Quadrofoglio versions. Absolutely amazing cars!
I am not lying I was just looking up this car
Awesome awesome car!
Stef, you need to stop repeating the same information over and over. I swear that by 4:00 I heard “I’ve been lucky enough to go to Italy to see the 2020MY” like 3-4 times!
Looking forward to the update so that the older model can depreciate more :), hopefully I can afford one in 1-2 yrs. Happy new year!!!
Its not just a car. Its a feeling with a soul!
Stef, this is the best sport sedan in the world! I hope you get one. I like your 4C, but this is more of a statement for you to daily drive.
Great video mate, bloody love the GQ, keen to see one when they get the updates! Gotta love Corsa's in winter haha
Haha yeah mate. Corsa’s in winter make for twitchy bums 😂😂
It depends on the winter. In Sicily or on Berlin?
For the love of God the car is called quadr "i" foglio not quadr"o" foglio!!
When read "i" in english you must said your alphabet "e" quadr "e" foglio
Excellent review Stef!! Can’t wait to see if they bring the yellow from the Veloce to the Quadrifoglio. It is such an amazing color for it.👌🏽
Would look epic! Thanks for watching!
Amazing driving car, I had a 2017 Guilia QF absolutely incredible drivers car but I sold it after 8 months to many glitches to deal with and my local dealer was primarily a Dodge/RAM dealership and were terrible with servicing the Alfa. Also tires were pretty well done by the time I got rid of it at 5k miles, not the cars fault there 🤣
The question is not what will be added but what it will lose? With the OPF filter it will lose a big part of its character which means that it will lose its competitive advantage...
That’s a really good point! Didn’t think of OPF!
@@StefABtv of course that is a problem for every future car but when ur competitive advantage is sound and character then the playing field becomes equal and quality is important, more important.
That is also the problem with electric cars, a boring future with minimal differences is waiting for us...
"here's why I think the MY2020 gulia is going to be amazing" "Alfa have not released the MY20 model yet" wtf lol just a bullshit video you're guessing at what might happen zero facts, click bait at best
PEOPLE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT ALFA ROMEO CHANGED LEVEL SINCE 4C....BUT OVERALL GIULIA AND STELVIO!!! THERE IS NOTHING TO DO WITH PREVIOUS Alfa Romeo....this was Alfa before Fiat made a kind of Fiat of it.....!!!peace
Yes still faster than the AMG C classes and the future M3. They may try to match AR's v6 engine's horsepower by being small dick minded by playing keeping up with the Joneses, but they lack the fun, the balance and most importantly the emotion and sound the AR has. Reliability wise AR isn't good but so is BMW and Merc which are as garbage.
Love the color 😍
Always loved the Alfa and I’m definitely getting one
What on Earth is the point of having a "Driver,s" car and then having a load of driver,s "aids" stuck on the damn thing???... If you want that go and buy a Prius.
I love the Giulia but without AWD she's useless on snow&ice like all RW cars, with a Fiat Panda 4X4 I can drive faster
Nice review again, currently thinking of a 4c but the width puts me off somewhat, what is your expert opinion?
Or should I get a Quad? Thank you
Quad as a daily 100% 4C for a special drive
15:07 What a car, man?! :)
Question on an earlier video with the 4C (I have one too). U kept the standard wheels, the same Pirelli P zero I have. as far as I checked, their min temp is 7° and still u drove it on colder temp. Aren't you afraid u'll damage them? for this reason my car is sleeping this season
Yep same p zeros. Not really too worried. Don’t drive the car much and in the winter I’m not really pushing it much if I do. Really when they wear I will prob get Michelin PS4’s if they do them for our size wheels. Will see :)
I agree with Laurentiu..... I have a 2015 4C LE. Summer tires can get destroyed if driven in freezing temperatures...and many brands of Summer performance tires will void the warranty if driven in freezing weather. The damage is not on the outside of the tire but on the inside....they can tell when they are taken off the wheel. Also traction goes to Sh** in very cold conditions so can be dangerous. Tire Rack has a good write up about all this.
Also mine 4C is sleeping a bit. In march I will buy Yokohama A52 semislick!! It will be Super Amazing!!
This is Giulia Quadrifoglio MY2020? REALLY?! WHAT A FAKE VIDEO!!!
That’s now what the video title says. If you watch the video I explain it all. Chill man
Great videos Stef! The Giulia Quadrifoglio is amazing. However I have read some really concerning reviews regarding the long-term reliability on the US models...can anyone comment on the UK cars?
I wonder if the AWD system from the Stevio would fit in the Quadrifoglio. I don't think it should be a default option since many purist probably want RWD, but if we're talking pure performance it's pretty clear that Quadrifoglio is traction limited. You can see it in a lot of track videos like the Nurburgring for instance, the rear is always wanting to step out.
It’s an unbelievable car if you enjoy spending the next 2 years bringing it into the shop for various problems. At least, the was my 30k mile experience. Finally ended with the engine blowing up on the highway on my way home from work. Amazing drivers car though and one of the best cars I’ve ever driven. Good luck if you get one.
I just picked up my 2017 Quadrifoglio and it is hands down the most fun car I’ve ever owned. Can’t beat the handling and acceleration for a sedan and the DCT pops are insane in person.
It's all about curb weight, I dont mind plastics, I prefer a lighter car, it's a race car not a Cadillac, with a high alpha price, I hope reliability has improved...
The Giulia Quadrifoglio is a dream car. And this car is so beautiful, from every angle.
But with the speed limits it's also quite difficult to use it as an everyday car.
I was waiting for the Gulia QV Coupe after seeing one in its test dress around Turin. The 2 door version was what I wanted, but I have found out they have decided not to make it. So I am waiting to see what the new version comes with.
The actual system could do with an update for speed and functionality but the actual interior is pretty good otherwise. The German rivals interiors look flash but are a pain in the ass to use and too much useless tech we don’t need.
Great video Stef, awesome car👌😀
Cheers man 🙌
Does anyone know if Alfa is fitting the new Quadrifoglio's with particulate filters? If so another cars sound ruined.
OPF could be a let down though .... would be a shame
I'll take three
🤣
This is definitely my next car,,
Hey stef
👋 hi
You need some fresh content...
You do ramble
Thanks
I will be interested to see the day one of you guys(you tubers) actually buy a car outright, fully paid for with zero finance. That would impress me. But no, none of you can actually afford these cars, why bother? Then you must pay the finance, another beast to feed. Pointless stupidity.
I did with the Stelvio Quadrifoglio 1,5 years ago ....... still love the beast .... more fun than all my previous cars I owned before (this is my first Alfa Romeo)
Manual transmission?
Awesome car, great video
Lol i have the Q4 Veloce diesel and i love the way its is now. Doesn't bother me one bit.
Quad needs Q4.
I change car every 2-3 years. 3 years ago I had test driven giulia and passat b8. I picked full option passat 2.0 220 ps dsg. Why? Excellent virtual cockpit & infotainment wih abiility to put sim card in it with internet which I use constantly, sensentional ful led headlights, all assistants including city traffic assistant etc. Giulia is outdated car and I do not care it goes in corners a little better. To be truth about year ago I got myself new touareg which is brilliant car - and again I test drove stelvio and it is seriously outdated now when touareg has advanced ACC that brakes before corners and adapts speed to speed limit signs on roads. I think thats why sales of AR droped almost to zero now and it is over. Whose 2020 updates are joke. Market do to need drivers cars anymore. Cars are necessary evil these days, not the source of passion and fascination thats why such model from AR does not sell at all.
Passat? Compared to an Gulia? You better stay with VW.... ACC? lol
The Pizza Club comparable price, dimensions body style. ACC - Adaptive Cruise Control
I take it you also enjoy knitting
Life’s too short for VWs
If it ain't broke don't fix it, Alfa are just following market trend by bringing out a different iteration, I am yet to be convinced on splurging out on a facelift when you can buy the old shape. Old is better in cars tbh, OK I'm still using my iPhone 5s and it makes perfect calls. I watched your fantastic vid on the 2020 facelift in Italy and I still prefer the old shape which I expect the price to fluctuate with the facelift coming into market. Fantastic car, great engine with cracking sound!
I heard these cars are so bad people have had engine failures with less than 20,000 miles.
Yes. I would want to hear more about reliability. Also the thing looks like a BMW from the side
It looks like a Pontiac Grand Am from the 90s 🤣
you need an eye test mate 😂
Stef ABtv Not so much an eye test as get off whatever psychotropics you take mate
I test drove one when I was looking for my new car. I liked it but was put off by the brake by wire system it was a pain as if you weren’t concentrating you could hit the car in front while trying to stop the car. The fact you couldn’t have the exhaust valves open unless it was in race which would turn the traction control off was another turn off for me. Then the interior was the 3rd thing for me. Ended up in a C63s in the end. Cheers
The 2020 model now has the valve system open in Dynamic now so at least you can have traction a noise 👍
Stay away from FCA cars. I own a Alfa Romeo myself. I work for FCA Dealer. They are such a bad company.
