Choose the 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia if rear-wheel drive, a midsize body, and a gasoline turbo four-cylinder are your priorities. The 27 MPG combined rating is workable for mixed driving, but frequent city trips use fuel at the lower 24 MPG rate. Highway-focused drivers can approach the 33 MPG rating. Plan around the EPA's $3,050 annual fuel estimate and 330 grams of CO2 per mile when deciding whether this powertrain fits your budget and routine.
What it is
The 2019 Giulia is a gasoline midsize car from Alfa Romeo. It uses rear-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. See more Alfa Romeo cars.
Its defining EPA figure is 27 MPG combined. That combines the 24 MPG city rating with the 33 MPG highway rating.
The numbers
City driving is rated at 24 MPG. Highway driving is rated at 33 MPG. The combined figure is 27 MPG.
These ratings describe how fuel use changes with the type of driving. More highway miles align with the higher 33 MPG figure, while more city miles align with 24 MPG.
What it costs to run
The EPA annual fuel-cost estimate is $3,050. That is the listed yearly gasoline cost for this Giulia.
Its tailpipe output is 330 grams of CO2 per mile.
How it compares
Use the Giulia's 27 MPG combined rating as its side-by-side baseline against other midsize cars. Its 24 city and 33 highway figures show where its fuel use falls for each kind of trip.
The rear-wheel-drive layout and gasoline powertrain also separate it from midsize cars using different drivetrains or fuels.
Who it suits
This Giulia suits a driver looking for a midsize gasoline car with rear-wheel drive and an automatic transmission.
It makes the most sense for someone whose driving includes enough highway travel to benefit from the 33 MPG highway rating, while accepting the 24 MPG city figure.
Trade-offs
The 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder and eight-speed automatic provide the specified powertrain in a rear-drive package, but fuel use varies by trip type: 24 MPG in the city versus 33 MPG on the highway.
The $3,050 annual fuel-cost estimate and 330 grams of CO2 per mile are the running-cost and emissions figures to weigh against its midsize body and rear-wheel drive.
Verdict
The 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia is a clear fit for a buyer who wants a rear-wheel-drive midsize car and prefers gasoline power with an automatic transmission. Its 27 MPG combined rating gives a straightforward running-cost marker, while the 24 city and 33 highway numbers matter more depending on the commute. The EPA estimate of $3,050 a year makes fuel spending a central part of ownership, and its 330 grams of CO2 per mile is another practical consideration.
