Giulia Veloce 280 - AWD???

[ads_4116]

Does anyone know if all Giulia Veloce 280's are AWD (as in the Q4 system)? Most places I've read up online state RWD, however some early articles state that they are RWD biased but can shift some power to the front. Seems to be a lot of conflicting info.

Looking at these new, and a current fan of Audi Quattro drive trains, however if the Giulia's are AWD, this changes everything for my next car.

UK model is rear drive. There is a q4 veloce available in non U.K. markets so that’s probably why you see some confusion

UK model of Stelvio is AWD (built on the same platform as the Giulia)

Yep - definitely only rear wheel drive in the UK. Another thing to consider with the Veloce if bad weather or fun are part of your driving plans - there is absolutely nothing you can do with the traction/stability control. It is always on and that’s it.

Alfa UK must have decided that there wouldnt be a market for it which would pretty much be the right decision.

Possibly based on past sales history. I own the nearest equivalent, a 3.2 Q4 Qtronic 159 in TI spec.

Grand total sold in the UK: 7
