Real-world fuel consumption
4,439 Alfa Romeo Giulia cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Diesel versions average 6.4 l/100 km on the road, against 5.2 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 23% more.
| Fuel | Cars | On the road | WLTP | Difference |

EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the Giulia in 9 alerts. European versions can differ from the North American car.
The vehicle can have incorrectly fitted brake casing. This can lead to a braking system malfunction, whereby the vehicle can only be stopped using the hand brake. This increases the risk of accident and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation…
Due to a manufacturing defect, the integrated fuel pressure and temperature sensor in the vehicles concerned may impact the fuel supply line. This may result in fuel leakage, increasing the risk of fire in the engine compartment. The product does not comply wi…
The IBS (integrated brake system) module may be defective. This may cause a failure of the ABS (anti-lock braking system), increasing the risk of an accident.
The rear brake discs may have material defects.This may lead to reduced braking performance, increasing the risk of an accident.
The cruise control software may be faulty. This may cause unintended acceleration, resulting in an accident.
The seat guides may be inadequate and the seats may be wrongly positioned. As a result the seats could become detached in motion, increasing the risk of an accident.
A fastening point of the cooling circuit line may damage the brake circuit line. Consequently, the performance of the brake system could be reduced and lead to a loss of control and an increased risk of accidents.
The brake and clutch fluid contain mineral oil and may as a consequence damage certain components of the braking system and the clutch. As a result the braking and clutch systems may fail.
Flaws in the electronics of the Integrated Brake System (IBS) may lead to problems when braking.
