A new platform for improved handling and agility in total comfort and safety

Alfa Romeo Giulietta introduces an entirely new platform – compact – designed to meet the most demanding customers in terms of handling, comfort and safety on board. In addition, satisfaction and driving comfort can be adapted to suit each client’s particular thanks to voters Alfa DNA, a feature which customizes the behavior of the vehicle with three different rationales (Dynamic, Normal and All Weather).

compact platform and hold a new platform strategy for streamlining Fiat Group Automobiles – preceded by a mini platform for small-segment A and segment B and L0 – and it is a starting point for real the previous technical solution for the new content is introduced, the material used and the level of performance. From the initial design phase, the goal is to create a platform that will enable the future of the Group Automobiles Fiat C-segment vehicles, starting with the new Alfa Romeo Giulietta, to be ranked from best in class terms of treatment, management feel the weight performance, comfort, NVH (noise vibration harshness), safety (active and passive) and climatic comfort.

Therefore, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta cars that are truly novel and capable of expressing both agility of the most demanding roads, and provide comfort on the daily commute. Moreover, thanks to a special calibration of the suspension offered by the sports package, the sportiness of the new Alfa Giulietta can be further strengthened.

The materials and innovative solutions on the state of the art

Firstly, production rocker represents a leap in terms of materials used. The entire structure is now much stronger and offer better performance without increasing the weight over the previous generation. All this is thanks to wider use of high strength and ultra-high, which now reaches more than 90% of the total mass of the system: some structural elements, designed to provide high strength and its ability to absorb the impact of minimal distortion, were made of hot pressed steel.

In addition, lightweight materials have been used for some structural elements were bolted to the body structure. For example, the block front struts connecting the front lines and at the expense of the third aluminum extrusions. Rear bumper beam and a third load path elements are made of energy absorption Xenoy (a thermoplastic by nature an excellent energy absorption compared to weight). The third load path elements to absorb energy to absorb the energy of low-speed impact with the barriers and support the bumper impact with pedestrians. Employing this solution allowed the reduction in weight of 8.5 kg to 4 kg in front and back associated with conventional steel structure, without sacrificing safety performance.

Another new feature is the modularity of the base, which makes it ideal for use on the family vehicles with different wheelbases and tracks. This modularity is ensured by several side panels and a member of the center floor and does not affect all parts of the structure of the front and rear. This will minimize costs as possible and means that the system can be applied to other vehicle systems without modification.

Many systems and components that constitute the “Compact” architecture has been completely revised in the context of the previous generation, improve performance and weight reduction (-35% for the second part of the rear seat and alloy magnesium through the car).

Best performance in its class for comfort, handling and safety

Alfa Romeo Giulietta ride offers an exceptional level of comfort and thanks especially to a new suspension system is used. The MacPherson front suspension has been revised specifically to offer maximum rigidity due to the load side, thanks to the use of the aluminum to reduce weight (4 kg economies connection with conventional solutions). Multilink rear suspension is a sophisticated system that guarantees the best compromise between handling and comfort without sacrificing the useful volume of the trunk. Also in this case, special attention was paid to lose weight and, thanks to the aluminum triangles, suspension reduces weight over 10 kg as part of multilink conventional system.

In addition, the new steering system for electricity (dual wing active steering) to ensure a good sense of direction and integrates with active safety systems for vehicles. As its name suggests, the solution employs two pinions directly attached to the steering rack box. The first wing is directly connected to the steering column and steering wheel with a guarantee of direct and precise, without any artificial filter between the steering box and the rider’s hands, the original meaning and natural driving. The second wing again directly linked to the grid is connected to an electric actuator is located in the engine compartment, thereby minimizing the risk of collision with the passenger in the accident.

climate control systems, particularly the business logic, all reviewed and improved to ensure the best weather in the cockpit, while significantly reducing the excessive consumption of fuel (with 30% less than systems conventional). Also, thanks to a specific technical intervention, the incredible noise and the values of the quality of vibration were achieved.

In terms of passive safety, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta was produced to achieve maximum Euro NCAP, as shown by more than fifteen thousand hours of mathematical modeling, testing 80 crashes, 150 tests on a slide and HyGe 100 tests on components and subsystems. More specifically, the third new load paths increase the potential for energy absorption front of vehicles and reduce both the force of inertia and the intrusion of the cabin, which provides optimal protection for passengers in a more severe impact. Security is guaranteed with six airbags (as in the range), three-point seatbelts with pretensioners and load limiters, dual, folding pedal unit and the steering column, a second generation systems anti-whiplash and ISOFIX attachments.

Finally, in terms of active safety, a new platform of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta to integrate various vehicle systems and exploit them fully, with emphasis on three-way set-up function (Dynamic, Normal and Weather All) is available by the voters of the Alfa DNA. This device, installed as standard on all tracks, to change the parameters of the engine, gearbox (with automatic), differential steering system, braking system and electronic Q2, in addition to the logical behavior of the system Dynamic Vehicle Control (VDC). Alfa Romeo Giulietta also introduce the pre-fill – new feature – activated when DNA is fixed to the dynamics, which gives the driver the fastest possible brake response. In certain circumstances, ie when the controller detects a dangerous situation that requires quick braking, the brake system pressure moments before the driver touches the brake pedal actually ensure the fastest possible response system, reducing the stopping distance of the vehicle.

The advanced features that improve the vehicle dynamic control is supported by the dynamic torque Director (CSD), which works to provide information on the driving torque which helps the driver to maneuver critics correctly before VDC intervene to prevent loss of control.

Sporty and comfortable, Italian style

Alfa Romeo Giulietta is the result of the new approach Alfa Romeo style and technology, which began with the 8C Competizione supercar and reaffirmed by the name of Italy, on the one hand, refers to the glorious past and on other brands of the future with technology stocks and emotional.

Finally, the bumper to accommodate the plate and, depending on the version, integrated exhaust tailpipe.

clusters of radiation on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta be mentioned separately. Both headlights and tail lights that use LED technology, compared to a standard bulb, capable of higher brightness, high reliability and reduced levels of consumption (and therefore with a positive impact on emissions), durability and faster response time (in terms of braking for example). Therefore, the LED technology not only style but also because of safety, reliability and execute cost control.

Lamp also features an integrated light of day functions (also known as the fires) which – When the engine starts – automatically activates the LED is specifically designed to provide maximum visibility during the day with the absorption energy and a long life (this will conform to European standards came into force in 2012).

The lamps are available in two versions: with halogen lights as standard or with optional bi-xenon headlights with AFS to provide enhanced quality of light emission (with or without low beam) of efficacy, good in all weather conditions and longer life (compared to the ordinary lamp with a halogen lamp, brightness and duration of acute or required). On the other side of the AFS ensures maximum visibility and safety, even in tight corners or angles, allowing you to direct the beam in the direction in which the Alfa Romeo Giulietta lead to a maximum of 15 °.
