2021 Alfa Romeo Giulietta pricing and specs detailed: Italy's Hyundai i30 N and Volkswagen Golf GTI challenger bows out with Edizione Finale

The aptly named Edizione Finale is the final chapter in the Giulietta story.

Alfa Romeo Australia has bid farewell to the Giulietta small hatchback with the release of the limited Edizione Finale.

Commanding a $6000 premium over the Veloce grade it’s based upon, at $48,950 plus on-road costs, the Edizione Finale is restricted to just 35 examples, which get several exclusive upgrades.

These include a Magneti Marelli ‘Elaborazioni 1919’ sports exhaust system, carbon-fibre trim (grille, side skirts and side-mirror covers), Dark Miron 18-inch alloy wheels and yellow accents (including on the brake callipers).

Inside, a sunroof, power-adjustable front seats with heating, and yellow stitching (steering wheel and floor mats with ‘Giulietta’ lettering) round out the Edizione Finale’s additional standard equipment.

The Hyundai i30 N- and Volkswagen Golf GTI-rivalling Edizione Finale is available in three paintwork options: Alfa White, Anodized Blue and Magnesium Grey Matte.

Under the bonnet of the Edizione Finale is a 177kW/340Nm 1.75-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine, which is mated a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with front-wheel drive.

As reported, Alfa Romeo announced the discontinuation of the Giulietta in April 2020, with the model set to make way for the upcoming Tonale small SUV, which has much higher sales potential.

Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
