Plug-in Tonale joins two mild-hybrid variants with more powerful 208kW kick and all-wheel drive configuration. Available in top-spec Veloce trim only, it covers the 0-100km/h sprint in a claimed 6.2 seconds and offers up to 60km of fully-electric driving range.

All-wheel drive Stelvio SUV features similar tech, equipment and styling upgrades to Giulia and same  turbo-petrol four as Giulia Ti. Luxury kit includes leather upholstery. Focus on driving dynamics.

Updated Giulia sedan has revised grille, lights, body hardware and highlights and more “cutting edge” cabin tech. Power is from a 206kW turbo-petrol four with MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve actuation.

Compact SUV arrives in two trim grades with mild hybrids first to arrive followed later by a PHEV. A new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine with integrated 48V electric motor drives through a seven-speed DCT.

Due to make an appearance this month is Alfa’s Tonale SUV priced from $49,900 + ORC. The Tonale maintains classic Alfa Romeo styling cues – including the V-shaped Scudetto grille and five-hole wheels – but with a brand-first 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine coupled to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and 48V mild hybrid system.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA and GTAm are the hottest and most focused vehicles the brand has produced in decades and they're coming here in very short numbers.

Filling out the updated Alfa Romeo Stelvio luxury SUV range are two high-spec variants, as well as a new made-to-order base model. 

After setting the Nurburgring lap record for a production SUV, Alfa Romeo will honour its Stelvio Quadrifoglio with the limited-run NRING edition, with three examples coming to Australia. A number of performance enhancements are included, but the model’s 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 carries over unchanged.

Alfa Romeo is set to commemorate its Nurburgring-conquering Giulia Quadrifoglio in August, with the release of the limited-run Giulia NRING. The NRING scores a number of performance goodies such as carbon ceramic brakes, carbon-fibre trim, special wheels and a matte grey colour.

The most potent version of Alfa Romeo’s new Stelvio SUV is set to arrive in the first quarter, following the rest of the range’s release in March 2018. Under the bonnet, the Quadrifoglio packs the same 375kW/600Nm 2.9-litre V6 as the top-spec Giulia Q.
