You have plenty of good choices for a small luxury sedan. But when you really get down to it, these well-intentioned four-doors can seem a bit stale. Handsome but derivative styling? Check. Well-appointed but soulless interior? Yep. Sanitized driving experience? Drive one and you've driven them all. But there is one sedan that stands out: the 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia.

Avg. Midsize Car
Partially by virtue of Alfa's small vehicle lineup, the Giulia's interior looks like nothing else on the market (well, except the Stelvio SUV with which it shares a common platform). Equal parts high-tech and sporty, the cabin looks every bit worthy of the Giulia's premium price tag. And even a short stint behind the wheel reveals the Giulia's sport sedan credentials, with superb steering feel and responsive handling. There's also the Quadrifoglio with its bonkers 505-horsepower V6. The Giulia isn't faultless — check out our Expert Rating to read our in-depth analysis — but its personality is a perfect antidote to small luxury sedan blandness.
Which Giulia does Edmunds recommend?
We like the base Sprint model; it comes loaded with features that often cost extra on rivals, making it something of a bargain. But the Giulia's wealth of customization options really opens up on the Ti and Ti Sport trims. Both turn this well-equipped luxury sedan into something truly special.
Alfa Romeo Giulia models
The 2021 Giulia is available in four main trim levels: Sprint, Ti, Ti Sport and the high-performance Quadrifoglio. The first three are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (280 horsepower, 306 lb-ft) matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional. The Quadrifoglio is rear-wheel-drive only and uses a turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine (505 hp, 443 lb-ft).

Alfa Romeo Giulia vs. the competition
2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia
Alfa Romeo Stelvio
Alfa Romeo Giulia vs. Alfa Romeo Stelvio
The Giulia shares a platform with the Alfa Romeo Stelvio small SUV, giving these two vehicles a similar feel from behind the wheel. The two are variations on a theme, and if you don't mind paying a little more for additional passenger and cargo room, the Stelvio is for you. If you don't need the extra space, though, the Giulia is a little more exciting to drive.
Alfa Romeo Giulia vs. Audi A4
The Audi A4 is a relaxed cruiser and a technological tour de force. In other words, the Audi is everything the Alfa Romeo isn't. These are two very different approaches to the luxury sedan formula. The A4 is a willing partner if you're in the mood for a sensible sedan with lots of tech. But if you want something that stirs the soul, the Alfa is the way to go.
Alfa Romeo Giulia vs. BMW 3 Series
The BMW 3 Series has a classic BMW interior layout, a good amount of room, and can be comfortable as long as you don't spec the M Sport package. You can also get the middle-range 382-horsepower M340i — there's no comparable trim in the Giulia. Still, the Giulia wins the sport sedan battle with more flair and sharper steering and handling.
