Alfa Romeo Giulia fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Alfa Romeo Giulia from 2017, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2019 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 26.2 to 55.4 mpg, with CO2 of 134 to 244 g/km. On the older NEDC test (listings 2017 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 34.4 to 67.3 mpg, with CO2 of 109 to 189 g/km.

Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide)
come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “Giulia”, “Giulia MY21”, “Giulia, MY2016”, “Giulia MY23”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Alfa Romeo Giulia safety recalls
DVSA lists 12 safety recalls for the Alfa Romeo Giulia since 1992, the first in 2018. The most recent was launched on 13 February 2026.
Alfa Romeo Giulia cable (wiring harness) branch
Launched 13 February 2026DVSA recall R/2026/026Manufacturer ref. F53O
Defect
On affected vehicles due to a production nonconformity the wiring harness leading to the headlamp ECU could become damaged by tyre interference with the wheel arch liner which could result in error messages being displayed and a loss of headlamp low beam functionality.
Remedy
Inspect wiring harness and wheel arch liner for damage and repair or replace as necessary.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Alfa Romeo Giulia. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
