Alfa Romeo Giulia vs BMW 3 Series

At a Glance: Giulia vs. 3 Series

When purchasing a luxury sedan, what do you look for? A model with an unbridled performance? An option with a classic interior and premium accents? A car with an advanced cockpit? If those three aspects are at the top of your list, we know you’ll love the 2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia and the 2023 BMW 3 Series.

These executive and sporty sedans are perfect for commutes during your daily drives or your weekend escapades near Willow Grove, Horsham, or Abington, PA, but which sedan does it best? Our team at Faulkner Alfa Romeo Willow Grove finds out in the Alfa Romeo Giulia vs. BMW 3 Series comparison below.

See the Difference for Yourself

PERFORMANCE

When you drive a sports sedan like the Giulia or the 3 Series, you expect it to bring with it a certain amount of power. Beyond the numbers, though, you anticipate a thrilling driving experience each time you slide behind the wheel. Read on to find out how these two luxury vehicles deliver.

Powerful Performances

When it comes to hair-raising performance, the Alfa Romeo Giulia and the BMW 3 Series do it right. Under the hood of the Giulia, you’ll find a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that pumps out a best-in-class 280 horsepower and best-in-class 306 lb-ft of torque. With that much power under the hood, you’ll be able to achieve:

  • 149 MPH top speed—also best in class
  • 5.1-second acceleration from 0 to 60 MPH

On the other hand, the BMW also sports a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine; however, its power output isn’t quite as high. You’ll have 255 horsepower and 294 lb-ft of torque with the 3 Series. This difference in capabilities means the 3 Series falls short, with a 130 MPH top speed and a 5.6-second acceleration from 0 to 60 MPH.

Racing DNA

Both models equip an 8-speed automatic transmission for improved acceleration, a quieter drive, optimal power, and better fuel economy.

Either option also allows you to add available all-wheel drive to its capabilities, providing a stable and smooth ride. Plus, the Alfa Romeo’s class-exclusive DNA Drive Mode Selector and the BMW’s Driving Dynamics Control allow you to experience the drive you desire through selectable drive modes.

DESIGN

Alfa Romeo and BMW are known for their elegant craftsmanship and head-turning designs that stand out from the crowd. Performance-driven design begins with sculpted lines and iconic features, the perfect blend of aesthetics and aerodynamics.

Distinctive Exteriors

When you think about Alfa Romeo and BMW, you probably think about their distinctive grille designs. The Alfa Romeo’s V Scudetto grille and the BMW’s kidney grille are both landmarks for the manufacturers, which give them a bold, noticeable, and classic look on the road.

As impressive as their exteriors are to see, their interiors are even more so when you enter their lavish cabins.

Luxurious Interiors

However, which sedan offers the classier interior? The Alfa Romeo Giulia! This sedan makes leather-trimmed seats standard, so your party of five can enjoy supple seating wherever the ride takes them. Plus, the front and rear seats are heated!

On the other hand, the BMW 3 Series swathes its seating in SensaTec upholstery, a leatherette material. If you prefer genuine leather seats with a standard heating function for a more opulent cabin feel, the Alfa Romeo Giulia may be your top choice.

TECHNOLOGY

Since you’ll want to spend a lot of time behind the wheel of your performance sedan, you’ll need a way to remain connected and entertained when on the road. As you’d expect, the Giulia and the 3 Series deliver when it comes to all the necessary technologies.

Personalized Infotainment on the Go

When you sit behind the steering wheels of the Alfa Romeo Giulia and the BMW 3 Series, you’ll find large infotainment displays. These systems work with Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™ to keep you connected to your friends and family or to play the latest hits. You’ll even find integrated navigation systems on either model.

One thing that sets their size-matched screens apart is personalization. The Alfa Romeo’s display is designed to be customized by its driver, with graphics and widgets. While the BMW’s screen is large, it utilizes a classic format and goes without a similar customization feature.

Staying Charged Up

The Giulia pulls away again by equipping a standard wireless charging pad. This feature not only keeps your phone charged without the need for a cord, but it also further promotes non-distracted driving. Unfortunately, you will not find this feature standard on the BMW 3 Series.

Test Drive the Winner
