For some reason, Alfa Romeo withheld photos of the new Giulia’s interior, even though the pre-production cars at the presentation were not covered up.

Nevertheless, Italy’s Quattroruote magazine managed to snag a few shots of the Giulia QV’s cabin from the outside to give us a first taste of what to expect when the car lands in showrooms next year.

The dashboard styling looks modern, and at least on the range-topping QV, there’s plenty of leather with contrast stitching and carbon fiber trimmings used throughout.

Alfa’s designers seem to be fans of the German school of thought when it comes to buttons and controls, though, the they did remember their Italian heritage with the engine start / stop button that’s incorporated on the bottom left side of the steering wheel airbag.
