It also packs important innovations in terms of customisation with new style elements sure to attract customers looking for a very elegant car through which they can express their flair by means of tailored offers. The range is counts five trim levels and six new packs to provide answers to the most varied demands of customers.

Giulietta MY19 is being projected into the future of mobility with U-Go by Leasys, the first innovative and integrated mobility platform that offers peer-to-peer car sharing solutions to retail customers and exclusive car rental plans offered by Winrent, the short-term rental operator recently acquired by Leasys.

 

The new range: trim levels and packs that express two personalities of the model

Alfa Romeo Giulietta MY 2019 has a new range designed to meet the needs of each customer. The Super and Sport trim levels have been revisited in terms of content, while the new Executive and Veloce are being introduced. The latter two, in particular, were designed to enhance the elegant and the sporty personality of Giulietta, respectively.
The Giulietta Super stands out for elegant looks set off up a new bumper with satin silver inserts. Equipment for optimal comfort is standard, such as two-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, steering wheel controls and Uconnect infotainment with 5-inch touchscreen. The new Sport trim level, on the other hand, expresses the most authentic character of Alfa Romeo, underlined by 17-inch five-hole light alloy wheels, red inserts on the bumper, sporty new interiors with contrasting red stitching, side skirts and tinted windows. The new Executive trim level is a further expression of elegance and distinction with exclusive satin finish mirror caps that perfectly match the window profiles. Once again, equipment is selected to enhance maximum comfort. Standard are the UConnect Radio-Nav 6.5-inch infotainment system with DAB and 3D sat nav, rain and light sensors, electrochromic interior rear-view mirror, electric rear-view mirrors and front and rear parking sensors. Finally, the new Veloce trim level has plenty of elements chosen to enhance its dynamic look, such as metal-flake piano black trim on mirror caps, grille, handles, exhaust pipes and 18-inch alloy wheels, miniskirts and sports bumper with striking yellow profile. Technical features include oversized Brembo braking system for even more exciting handling. Inside, the sporty vocation of Giulietta Veloce is confirmed by new fabric and Alcantara seats with contrasting yellow stitching and head restraints with the Alfa Romeo logo, aluminium pedals and kick plate and matte anthracite trim. The new range of Giulietta MY19 expand the opportunities for customisation with new contents, like new 18-inch wheels with glossy black diamond finish and new "testa di moro" colour leather interiors.
The new range also includes new packs to configure the car with an increasingly tailor-made approach, such as the Carbon Look Pack, the Veloce Pack (in the Alfa Red and the Yellow Corsa variants), the Tech Pack and the Business Pack created for fleet customers.

With U-Go Leasys, customers can contain the monthly expense of the rental fee by sharing their car.

The ugo.leasys.com platform, accessible both from the website and from the app, is where Players and Users can meet. Players sign up indicating the features of their cars, availability time and daily rate. Users, on the other hand, can sign up and locate a car by city and period of interest, arranging the pick-up and payment with the U-Go Player. At the end of the sharing period, they can review each other. That is how U-Go turns social, creating a community through direct feedback and a peer-review system that fosters virtuous reputation mechanisms. The U-Go service includes the Leasys short-term rental solutions in addition to those of the retail sector. The cars are available at special, advantageous rates allowing U-Go to provide widespread response to local mobility needs. With U-Go by Leasys, mobility becomes shared, efficient and sustainable.
