  "account": "The 2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio have undergone minor updates, signaling their final years before being replaced by new models in 2028. These revisions include standard specification items and slight visual modifications. The Giulia Veloce now features new 19-inch alloy wheels, while the Stelvio Quadrifoglio receives black 21-inch alloy wheels. Additionally, black and white Alfa Romeo emblems have been added to the front and rear of all models.\n\nInside the vehicle, a driver attention alert has been introduced on the A-pillar, accompanied by software updates for the 8.8-inch infotainment system and a forward-facing camera. The Stelvio Veloce will also be offered with new 20-inch alloy wheels. In Europe, both vehicles come with three trim levels: Sprint, Veloce, and Quadrifoglio, with the Veloce receiving red Brembo brake calipers, leather seats, and alloy paddle shifters. The Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Verde come with the uprated 2.9-litre bi-turbo V6 engine, producing 382kW/600Nm.\n\nThe transmission remains consistent across all models, utilizing the ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic. The Stelvio models offer both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options. The Giulia is rear-wheel drive only. Despite the exterior changes, the interior has largely remained unchanged since the last refresh four years ago. Stellantis South Africa has not yet confirmed the updates for local markets, including the Junior and Tonale models, which are yet to be announced. Currently, the Giulia and Stelvio line-ups feature two models each, with the Veloce equipped with a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and the V6-powered Quadrifoglio Verde and Quadrifoglio variants delivering 375kW/600Nm. Pricing ranges from R1,176,900 to R2,225,900 for the respective models.",
