Updates for Alfa Romeo’s Quadrifoglio models
Alfa Romeo has introduced the 2020 Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio. While they both still feature a 503 bhp (375 kW / 510 PS) 2.9 litre V6 bi-turbo engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission, an Akrapovič titanium exhaust with carbon fibre tailpipes has become a cost option.
Many of the other changes focus on adding technology. For instance, the completely revamped infotainment system – which now uses an 8.8” touchscreen – gains several ‘Performance Pages’. As well as recording acceleration times and speeds achieved, these can display various parameters including torque delivery, turbo pressure and component temperatures.
Also new is an Advanced Driver Assistance System. Developed in partnership with Bosch, it provides Level 2 autonomous driving by utilising Active Cruise Control, Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Speed Control, Lane Keep Assist, Traffic Jam Assist, Highway Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist, and Driver Attention Assist. Consequently, the vehicle is able to control steering, throttle and braking inputs under certain circumstances.
Visually, the revised versions are hard to tell apart from their predecessors. However, there’s a refreshed paintwork selection, the badges get a gloss black finish and the LED rear light clusters have been darkened. Inside, the alterations are limited to a redesigned centre console and some extra upholstery choices.
Sales of the 2020 Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio are due to begin this summer. Prices and final UK specifications have yet to be confirmed.
