It’s been in the works for quite some time now, but there’s finally something concrete – Alfa Romeo is coming back to Malaysia! The storied Italian brand has put up a website and social media pages teasing its return, with images showcasing the Giulia sedan and Stelvio SUV. Alfa Romeo Malaysia has also opened registrations of interest for the two rear-wheel-drive compact executive cars, denoting that they will be offered in Veloce trim. This is the second most sporting variant, sitting below the full-fat, M3- and X3 M-baiting Quadrifoglio versions.
These are offered with the most potent “standard” engine – a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing 280 PS at 5250 rpm and 400 Nm of torque from 2,250 to 4,500 rpm. That’s an increase of 22 PS over the equivalent 330i, and with a ZF eight-speed automatic, the Giulia and Stelvio Veloce (the latter with all-wheel drive) get from zero to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds. A Q2 limited-slip rear differential also comes standard.
