It would be predictable that after we have known the updates for the "normal" Giulia and Stelvio, also the Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio received them. These are, above all, technological in nature, but there are more novelties.
That's why it's the interior that concentrates most of the differences for the Quadrifoglio we knew. Highlighted is a redesigned center console, which offers more storage space. The steering wheel and the gearshift knob (the so-called eight-speed automatic) are also new, covered in leather.
Interior customization is now broader. As we've seen in the most exclusive GTAs, the Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio can also be fitted with red or green seat belts. And a new perforated skin will soon be available for the electrically adjustable sports seats.
On the outside, the changes are pretty discreet. The differences are in detail, boiling down to redesigned LED rear light groups and a dark lens, while at the front we can see a new glossy black finish on the front trilobe and on the rear emblems. The Stelvio Quadrifoglio also received new exclusive 21″ rims.
The new colors available are the protagonists abroad, now organized by… classes: Competizione, Metal, Solid and Oldtimer. It is the latter, evoking the Alfa Romeo heritage, that stands out, introducing three new colors: Red 6C Villa d’Este, Ocher GT Junior and Green Montreal, precisely the color highlighted in the images that illustrate this article.
Semi-autonomous driving in a Quadrifoglio?
It seems so… As we saw in the regular Giulia and Stelvio, the Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio also now have new advanced driving assistants (ADAS) that allow you to raise the level of autonomous driving — now it is level 2. That is, in certain conditions, the vehicle can take control of the steering, accelerator and brakes — they don't effectively go alone; the driver must always have his hands on the wheel.

An arsenal of equipment and assistants contributes to this: lane maintenance assistant, active monitoring of blind spots, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, intelligent speed control, assistance in traffic jams and on the motorway, and assistance assistance of the driver.
More and better infotainment
The renovated Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio also receive the same info-entertainment with 8.8” central touchscreen seen on regular models.
There is a new interface and new services connected, with Quadrifoglio having the addition of Performance Pages. In other words, specific pages related to real-time vehicle performance — from the temperature of various components to the output of torque and power, turbo pressure and also digital timers that measure acceleration and top speed.
Mechanically and dynamically... nothing new, and it doesn't matter
Only a short time ago, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio was rediscovered and the truth is that, after two years, it is still as fantastic to drive as before, a reference. For the MY2020 (Model Year) Alfa Romeo chose not to make changes in this department.
Both the sedan and the SUV keep the same specifications we already knew: bi-turbo V6 engine, 510 horsepower, and less than 4.0s at 0-100 km/h , it doesn't matter if it's the Giulia (rear-wheel drive) or the Stelvio (four-wheel drive).
However, a new Akrapovič exhaust line is now available, courtesy of the exclusive Quadrifoglio Accessories Line by Mopar. It also offers options for the rear light groups (polished), exclusive color for the bodywork, and various elements in carbon fiber.
It only remains to know the launch date in Portugal and the price of the renewed Quadrifoglio.
