Model reviewed: 2.9-litre petrol automatic Giulia Quadrifoglio MY2021
Score: 9 / 10
“The engine is still brilliant and tuneful; the chassis still a masterstroke with great poise and balance. If I had to bet, I’d put a few quid on Alfa having rewritten a few lines of code in the steering software. Still sharp and responsive, the initial response is now more measured than before, and less flighty. The best small super saloon just got better.” (Dan Prosser)

“Several years after its launch, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio remains one of the most thrilling super saloons on sale today. The driving experience is just as exhilarating as before, but minor tweaks for 2020 have improved the Gulia as an everyday package. The revised infotainment still isn’t perfect, but it’s an easy flaw to forgive. The next BMW M3 will have to be good to beat it.”

“To drive, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is as good as performance saloon get, even if it’s not quite as plush inside as its best rivals. It might not sound as brutish as a Mercedes-AMG C63, nor be as capable through corners as a BMW M4, but it’s more rewarding than both.”
