Alfa Romeo UK has launched a new Business edition of the Giulietta, aimed specifically at business drivers.

The new Alfa Romeo Giulietta Business edition is based on the mid-range Distinctive trim level but with a host of additional features.

In addition to the already standard 16-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, rear parking sensors, DAB digital radio and Bluetooth connectivity (with music streaming and an SMS text-message reader with pre-programmed responses), the new Business edition benefits from the 6.5-inch Uconnect infotainment system, with voice-programmable satellite navigation and 3D mapping, as well as the visibility pack (dusk and rain sensors; self-dimming rear-view interior mirror and power folding door mirrors), front seat electric lumbar support and front parking sensors.

There are four engine options available including; a 103bhp 1.6-litre JTDM-2 turbo-diesel, a 148bhp 2.0-litre JTDM-2 turbo-diesel ; both with six-speed manual transmissions, a 167bhp 1.4 turbo petrol and 172hp 2.0-litre JTDM-2 turbo-diesel; both of which come equipped with the six-speed ALFA TCT twin dry-clutch transmissions.

Not only does the Business edition offer more than £2,000 worth of additional equipment compared to the Distinctive model, its price is lower when both are equipped with comparable engines. Its P11D and BIK numbers are both highly competitive.

The model is on sale now and priced from £18,990.
