Who it suits. Drivers wanting a midsize car with all-wheel drive Mixed city and highway routes Owners who value highway MPG
The Giulia AWD makes sense for someone seeking a midsize car with all-wheel drive and an automatic transmission. Its 26 combined MPG is supported by a 31 MPG highway rating, but city use drops to 23 MPG. The EPA puts annual gasoline spending at $3,150, while emissions measure 348 grams of CO2 per mile. Those figures favor buyers who value the drivetrain layout and spend meaningful time on highways, rather than drivers focused mainly on minimizing fuel use in urban traffic.
