Yup, Alfa Romeo is formally again in Malaysia (once more)! After Metropolis Motors within the ’60s and ’70s, Milan Auto within the ’90s and Sime Darby Auto Italia from 2005 to 2013, the legendary Italian carmaker is now represented by DLSB Companions Sdn Bhd, an unbiased personal distributor underneath Atlantis Motor Group, which is the only Peugeot and Leapmotor importer in Malaysia.

A showroom and 3S centre is predicted to open at TREC KL in December, and there’ll be Penang and Johor Bahru retailers sooner or later. Sadly, tonight’s not a launch but – each Giulia sedan and Stelvio SUV are open for reserving in Malaysia at an estimated worth of RM400k, and closing costs will likely be revealed in January.

Born (or ought to we are saying reborn?) in 2016the compact-exec sports activities sedan has been round for a very long time, and we’re positive you’ve learn and watched all these glowing critiques about how nice it drives. That is the 2023 facelifttotally imported (CBU) from Italy’s Cassino Plant, and it seems each bit nearly as good because it did all these years in the past. These ‘3+3’ adaptive matrix LED headlamps actually assist.

That is an Alfa in any case, so let’s begin with its coronary heart. Our automobile will likely be in Veloce trim (only one step down from the full-fat 4-leaf clover), so underneath that lengthy bonnet sits a 2.0 litre turbo four-cylinder engine that sends 280 hp at 5,250 rpm and 400 Nm at 2,250 rpm to the rear wheels by an eight-speed ZF auto. The century dash is finished in 5.7 seconds and 240 km/h is the highest pace.

There’s variable electrical energy steering (with a fast 11.8:1 ratio), a mechanical Q2 limited-slip diff, 50:50 weight distribution, a light-weight carbon-fibre driveshaft, entrance double wishbones and rear multi hyperlinks.

Inside, you’ll discover a handbook rake- and reach-adjustable steering wheel with shift paddles, 14 Harman Kardon audio system, a wi-fi charging pad, an 8.8-inch touch-screen with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, a 12.3-inch customisable TFT display screen and sport leather-based seats with darkish gray stitching. By way of security, there’s Stage 2 ADAS together with ACC and lane maintain help. Salivating but?
