As prospective buyers begin to explore all of the options at an Alfa Romeo dealer, they’ll surely come across two of the brand’s more impressive vehicle offerings: the Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti and the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. There two cars may both be sedans, but they’re different in practically every other way. We’ve compared two of the most important attributes of a vehicle (performance and safety) as we worked to determine which of the two offerings you should pursue. Continue reading to get some clarity on your target before you head into an Alfa Romeo dealer…
Performance
Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti
For a vehicle that features a “smaller” 2.0-liter engine under the hood, the Alfa Romeo Guilia Ti provides a whole lot of power. The I4 intercooled turbo engine can pump out a surprising amount of muscle at 280 horsepower (a best-in-class number) and 306 pounds-feet of torque. These power specs are reflected in a number of additional performance numbers, including the impressive best-in-class 149 mile per hour top speed and the best-in-class 0-60 time of 5.1 seconds.
To help make for one of the best driving experiences in the industry, engineers also included a number of additional mechanical features. The Alfa Link suspension doesn’t only assure that your traction and grip of the road is at an optimal level, but it also monitors your vehicle’s wheels, so that you’re able to overcome any odd curves. The Traction Control System will understandably play a similar role, keeping your new Alfa Romeo vehicle on its intended path.
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
This version of the iconic Guilia provides power specs that are practically unmatched in not only its respective class, but the entire industry. The aluminum 2.9-liter Twin-Turbo V6 engine delivers between 2,500 and 5,500 RPM, resulting in an eye-popping 505 horsepower and 443 pounds-feet of torque. Predictably, these numbers influence the speed specs, as drivers can expect a top speed of 191 miles per hour and a 0-to-60 time of 3.8 seconds.
The brand’s one-of-a-kind double wishbone front suspension plays a significant role in the vehicle’s incredible steering ability, meaning drivers won’t have any issues as they attempt to control the powerful car. Meanwhile, the inclusion of the rear axle design results in a more comfortable driving experience, devoid of random vibrations or annoying, distracting noises.
Safety
Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti
The Giulia Ti provides a number of amenities that should keep your new vehicle (and, more importantly, the vehicle’s occupants) out of harm’s way. It starts with the Backup Camera, which is accompanied by the appreciated Rear and Front Park Sensors. When you’re trying to navigate through a crowded parking lot, this inclusion will keep you safe from winding up in a pesky fender bender.
The vehicle also features an integrated brake system, which plays a significant role in reducing the necessary braking distance. Therefore, if a crash appears imminent, you’ll have a better chance of avoiding the collision. Meanwhile, the Forward Collision Warning Plus will alert the driver if the vehicle detects an oncoming crash.
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
Much of the Giulia Ti’s safety capabilities are based on the phenomenal technological preventative features. The inclusions alert a driver of an impending accident, and can even manipulate the mechanics to help prevent a crash from occurring in the first place.
For instance, the Autonomous Emergency Brake system relies on radar and cameras to monitor the road ahead of your ride. When it danger presents, the vehicle will first alert the driver of the upcoming collision. If the driver doesn’t react, the vehicle will automatically apply the brakes, lessening the impact or preventing it altogether. Meanwhile, the Automatic Collision Warning plays a similar role, while the Integrated Brake System means you’ll be able to access maximum braking power.
