阿尔法罗密欧比Giulia更高端车型将于2018年上市，该车将成为宝马5系和奔驰E级竞争车型。新车将采用最强劲动力系统，包括插电混动和车厂首次推出的六缸柴油引擎。由于该车与Giulia轿车共享相同后驱平台，因此两车动力系统很可能共享，包括四缸汽油和柴油引擎。Giulia搭载一台2.2升柴油引擎，功率有148和178马力两种，而2.0升汽油引擎功率197马力。无论汽油还是柴油引擎都可能出现在这款车上。而汽油引擎升级改装的潜力很大，因此可以通过增加功率来提升性能。而Giulia Quadrifoglio搭载的503马力V6双涡轮引擎和车厂首台六缸柴油引擎也将配备在这款车上。这将进一步助力该车与宝马5系和奔驰E级竞争。而与引擎搭配的是八速自动变速箱和六速手动变速箱。而该车入门级车型在英国起价约为3.5万英镑（约合人民币33.7万元）。由于该车采用了全新平台，因此可以支持插电混动系统，这也意味着该车未来还将增加插电混动版本。

 

Alfa Romeo’s new BMW 5 Series rival revealed

Alfa Romeo Giulia's bigger brother set to go on sale by 2018 and will take on the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class

 

The new model will feature a range of powertrains, including a plug-in hybrid and the company’s first-ever six-cylinder diesel. As it will be based on the same rear-wheel-drive platform as the recently launched Giulia saloon, it should share the engine range, including the four-cylinder diesel and petrol units, too.

 

The Giulia uses a 2.2-litre diesel with either 148bhp or 178bhp and a 2.0-litre petrol with 197bhp – and both are likely to appear in the larger saloon. Wester told us that the petrol engine has plenty of tuning potential, so it could even get a power boost to improve performance in the larger model.

 

Alfa’s tech chief also hinted that the Giulia Quadrifoglio’s 503bhp twin-turbo V6 engine could make an appearance, alongside the company’s first-ever six-cylinder diesel. These additions would help it compete with the likes of the Mercedes E-Class and 5 Series.

 

As with the Giulia, it’s likely to get an eight-speed automatic gearbox and a six-speed manual. It’ll be priced in line with rivals, kicking off from around ￡35,000 for an entry-level diesel.

 

The platform is brand new and is able to support many applications, which means the new model will also get a plug-in hybrid version.
