Not having much else to do these days, Alfa Romeo’s design and marketing staff came together and created a new special series of the Giulietta compact hatch for the UK market. It is named the Collezione, which is Italian for Collection, and it brings some color along with additional styling and equipment features to the Giulietta range.

The Collezione series is offered in a choice of three base colors with contrasting roof shades. These include Solid Black with a matte magnesio grey top, and the Alfa Red and Ghiaccio White colors, both of which feature a solid black roof.

Completing the look are the new 17-inch Titanium finish alloy wheels, along with titanium effect wing mirrors and darkened headlight surrounds, and chrome door handles.

For the interior, Alfa opted the use of new black and red competizione cloth upholstery for the seats, with contrasting stitching and titanium finish inserts on the doors, central console and dashboard, while also adding air-conditioning and Blue&Me to the standard equipment.

UK buyers can choose from four different engines, namely the 1.4-liter TB 120bhp or 1.4-liter TB MultiAir 170 bhp petrols, and the 1.6-liter JTDM-2 105 bhp and 2.0-liter JTDM-2 140 bhp diesels, with on-the-road prices starting from £18,265
