2026 Alfa Romeo Giulia Intensa

The 2026 Alfa Romeo Giulia in 280hp Intensa trim occupies the top of the four-cylinder range, pairing the turbocharged 2.0-litre engine with an eight-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive — the principled layout that distinguished the Giulia from its front-drive German rivals when it launched and remains its defining characteristic today.

With just 900 miles recorded, this is effectively an unused car, almost certainly an early delivery or short-term demonstrator. Acquiring a current model year Giulia at this stage of mileage without ordering new is unusual, and the £47,000 asking price reflects that. The Intensa trim is a well-appointed specification that lets the driving dynamics lead rather than relying on cosmetic additions to justify the premium.

The 280hp state of tune and RWD configuration ensure the Giulia remains one of the more genuinely engaging saloons available at this price point — an alternative for buyers who find the obvious German choices too predictable. Those seeking more should look to the Quadrifoglio; those who want the core Giulia experience in a near-new, fully current example will find little to fault here.
