Yup, Alfa Romeo is formally again in Malaysia (once more)! After Metropolis Motors within the ’60s and ’70s, Milan Auto within the ’90s and Sime Darby Auto Italia from 2005 to 2013, the legendary Italian carmaker is now represented by DLSB Companions Sdn Bhd, an impartial personal distributor below Atlantis Motor Group, which is the only real Peugeot and Leapmotor importer in Malaysia.

Born (or ought to we are saying reborn?) in 2016, the compact-exec sports activities sedan has been round for a very long time, and we’re certain you’ve learn and watched all these glowing evaluations about how nice it drives. That is the 2023 facelift, absolutely imported (CBU) from Italy’s Cassino Plant, and it appears to be like each bit pretty much as good because it did all these years in the past. These ‘3+3’ adaptive matrix LED headlamps actually assist.
That is an Alfa in spite of everything, so let’s begin with its coronary heart. Our automobile will likely be in Veloce trim (only one step down from the full-fat Quadrifoglio), so below that lengthy bonnet sits a 2.0 litre turbo four-cylinder engine that sends 280 hp at 5,250 rpm and 400 Nm at 2,250 rpm to the rear wheels by way of an eight-speed ZF auto. The century dash is completed in 5.7 seconds and 240 km/h is the highest pace.

There’s variable electrical energy steering (with a fast 11.8:1 ratio), a mechanical Q2 limited-slip diff, 50:50 weight distribution, a light-weight carbon-fibre driveshaft, entrance double wishbones and rear multi hyperlinks.
Inside, you’ll discover a handbook rake- and reach-adjustable steering wheel with shift paddles, 14 Harman Kardon audio system, a wi-fi charging pad, an 8.8-inch touch-screen with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, a 12.3-inch customisable TFT display screen and sport leather-based seats with darkish gray stitching.
