2022 Audi A7 vs. 2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia
The 2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia is a moderately sized luxury car with sensuous curvature, breathtaking power and outstanding steering. But is this enough to beat the 2022 Audi A7, a car that is a master class in engineering, opulence and performance?
Design & Style
The Audi A7 is a sophisticated hatchback that seamlessly blends handling and practicality. It sits on twenty one inch wheels and has a long and elegant external profile. The roofline is pinched near the back bumper to produce a smooth fastback shape and under the hood it utilizes an automatic dual clutch seven speed transmission. The cabin is airy and comfortable with almost forty nine cubic feet being reserved just for cargo space.
The Alfa Romeo Giulia is turbocharged for maximum performance, with new features such as aluminum pedals, a navigation system and steering support. It has a sporty, aerodynamic exterior with a triangle grille in front and roundish lines along the body. The hood is extended with a shortened deck, while the cabin includes sports seats with 9 inch touch displays.
Technology & Safety
The Alfa Romeo Giulia has received good ratings from the IIHS, particularly for its headlights and crash test performance. Its frontal impact mitigation system is excellent, and it offers features such as parking sensors, automated emergency brakes, automatic adaptive high beams and blind area monitoring. Luxuries within its cabin include powered seats that can be adjusted fourteen ways, a sunroof, climate control and aluminum trim.
The Audi A7 has captured the Top Safety Pick+, which is the highest award offered by the IIHS. This is because it has all the features found in the Alfa Romeo, including adapted cruise control, lane control, a camera with surround view and automated emergency brakes. Luxuries within its cabin include ten inch touch displays, navigation that is baked in, audio from Bang & Olufsen, climate control and the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
Performance
Those that purchase the Audi RS 7 will get a V6, 4 liter engine that can generate 600 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 3.5 seconds. It has a top speed of 190 mph. Those that purchase the Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio will get a V6, 2.9 liter engine that is dual turbocharged and capable of generating 505 horsepower, with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 3.8 seconds.
The Bottom Line
Though the Alfa Romeo and Audi A7 are nearly tied for performance, the Giulia is mired by tedious steering, especially on highways, its back seat space is a bit tight, it doesn’t offer manual transmission and the brakes feel wooden, which makes the Audi A7 the winner.
