Alfa Romeo Giulia range confirmed for Australia

Alfa Romeo's future could potentially be determined by the success or failure of the Alfa Romeo Giulia, which is the long-delayed successor to the 159.

Pricing won’t be provided until closer to the launch of the Alfa that will compete against notable rivals including the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Jaguar XE and Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

It’s worth noting, however, that the Giulia’s competitors start from between $55,000 and $61,400.
