The Alfa Romeo Giulietta engine range has been revised to offer improved economy and emissions across the entire petrol and diesel engine range.

The popular 1.6 JTDM-2 turbo diesel engine sees a reduction in emissions from 104g/km to 99g/km, thanks to a new turbocharger and low rolling-resistance tyres, along with an increase in power from 105hp to 120hp. The drop in emissions results in a 1% BIK reduction to 17 percent and the annual Road Fund Licence is now £0.

The EU6 engine can now return 74.3mpg on the official combined fuel economy cycle, a significant improvement over the impressive 70.6 recorded by the current 1.6 JTDM2 105hp engine.

Every engine is now compliant with the latest Euro 6 regulations and (with the exception of the recently-introduced 2.0 JTDM-2 turbo diesel 150hp) sees its emissions and economy improved, resulting in a 1% BIK reduction on all engines from the entry-level 1.4 turbo petrol 120hp to the 1750TBi 240hp TCT unit that powers the high-performance Quadrifoglio Verde version, while the 1.4 MultiAir Turbo Petrol 150hp and 170hp engines slip into a lower emissions band.

Pricing for the Alfa Romeo Giulietta range remains unchanged despite the engine upgrades, with pricing for the 1.4 TB 120hp Progression starting at £18,450 OTR and the 1.6 JTDM-2 120hp Progression priced from £19,500 OTR.

Pricing for the Business Edition range, which feature a 6.5-inch touchscreen Uconnect infotainment system with voice activated satellite navigation, 3D mapping and DAB digital radio; front and rear parking sensors; automatic lights and wipers; alloy wheels and metallic paint all as standard, start from £19,080 OTR for the 1.6 JTDM-2 120hp turbo diesel.
