Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV’s Alfa Romeo unit has given its Giulia sedan and Stelvio crossover interior makeovers.
The 2020 models feature revamped infotainment systems, which critics had panned in the outgoing vehicles. Among the changes are touchscreen capability, faster processors and improved graphics.
The size of the dashboard displays is unchanged at 8.8 inches. The 7-inch digital instrument cluster also gets a new look and better graphics.
Other enhancements include a revised steering wheel, leather-wrapped shift knob, larger cupholders, additional storage, wireless phone charging and higher quality materials throughout. The look and feel of the rotary control dial also is more posh, with a machined-knurled aluminum unit.
The exterior designs of the two vehicles are mostly carried over. Both models are powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that makes 280 hp and 306 lb-ft of torque. The high-output Quadrifoglio variants are fitted with a 505-hp twin-turbo V-6.
The 2020 models are about $800 more expensive than their predecessors, with the Giulia starting at $39,300 and the Stelvio going for $41,300. The Quadrifoglio models get $200 bumps to $74,400 for the sedan and $80,400 for the crossover.

Mustang Changes for 2018
On Tuesday Ford unveiled—using the social media channels of actor Dwayne Johnson (this has got to unnerve some of the auto buff book editors)—the 2018 Mustang, which has undergone some modifications: under the hood (the 3.7-liter V6 is giving way to a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four, and a 10-speed automatic is available), on the dash (a 12-inch, all-digital LCD screen is available for the dashboard), at the tires (12 wheel choices), on the chassis (MagneRide damper technology is being offered with the Mustang Performance Package), and on the exterior (three new paint colors). And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
