Vehicle Description

Coming Soon!

Phil Presswood is delighted to present this stunning Alfa Romeo 1.6 JTDM-2 120 Super 5dr TCT which is a variant of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta (the compact 5-door hatchback produced from 2010 to around 2020), specifically from the mid-to-late 2010s facelift era (around 2016 onward). This model combines a frugal yet punchy diesel engine with an automatic transmission in a higher-spec “Super” trim, making it stand out in a few key ways compared to base models or rivals.
Key Engine and Performance Highlights
• It’s powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged diesel engine (JTDM-2 Multijet) producing around 120 hp (118-120 PS) and a strong 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) of torque available from low revs (around 1750 rpm).
• This delivers lively real-world performance — it feels punchier than the official 0-62 mph time of about 10.0-10.2 seconds suggests, thanks to the torque for effortless overtaking and mid-range pull.
• Paired with Alfa Romeo’s TCT (Twin Clutch Transmission) — a 6-speed dual-dry-clutch automatic — which was a relatively new option for this engine around 2016. Notably, adding the TCT caused no penalty in official fuel economy or CO2 emissions compared to the manual (unlike many rivals at the time).
Efficiency and Eco Appeal
• Official combined fuel economy: up to 74.3 mpg (around 60+ mpg real-world in mixed/highway driving, per owner reports).
• CO2 emissions: 99 g/km (sub-100g/km), qualifying for low or zero road tax (VED) in many markets during its era.
• This made it a standout efficient diesel option in the compact hatchback class, blending Italian style with sensible running costs.
What Makes the “Super” Trim Special
The Super was a mid-to-upper trim level (above base but below sportier ones like Veloce or Speciale), adding desirable comfort and style upgrades:
• Dual-zone automatic climate control.
• Cruise control.
• Rear parking sensors.
• Front fog lights.
• Upgraded alloy wheels (typically 16-inch) This car has the 17” Option.
• Enhanced upholstery and interior trim (often with carbon fiber-effect or brushed chrome accents for a more premium feel).
• Alfa’s DNA drive mode selector (Dynamic, Normal, All-weather) to adjust throttle, steering, and other responses — in Dynamic mode, it sharpens things up noticeably for more engaging driving.
• Standard safety kit like multiple airbags, ABS, stability control, etc.
Overall Character and Appeal
The Giulietta is praised for its distinctive Italian styling (sharp lines, expressive front end), fun-to-drive nature (good grip, composed handling with some reports of a Q2 limited-slip differential feel in related models), and personality that sets it apart from more clinical rivals like VW Golf or Ford Focus diesels. Owners often highlight its comfort, quiet cruising, and character.
This specific combo (1.6 diesel + TCT + Super trim) was positioned as an efficient, automatic-equipped choice for those wanting Alfa flair without the thirstier petrol/hot hatch options. It appealed especially to those prioritising low emissions and fuel costs while enjoying something more charismatic than mainstream alternatives.
If you’re considering one today (as a used buy), it’s generally seen as reliable with proper maintenance, though TCT gearboxes can become costly at high mileage if neglected. However, this car with its very low mileage and Full Alfa Romeo Service History doesn’t fall into this category. The Giulietta was discontinued around 2020, so these are now classic modern Alfas with strong enthusiast followings.
