Alfa Romeo Giulia (2016-present)
Meant as a credible alternative to Audi, BMW and Jaguar's top-drawer offerings, Alfa made a pretty good fist of things with its Giulia. It arrived here in late 2016, five years after the firm's last saloon (the 159), with a choice of a 197bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine or 2.2-litre JTDm-2 four-cylinder diesel, the latter being available in either 148bhp or 177bhp guise. Oh, and there was also the range-topping 2.9-litre V6 Quadrifoglio with a monstrous 503bhp on tap. That was the real firecracker.
The 276bhp Veloce arrived in 2017, followedcarbon trim.
