Mildly-refreshed hatchback to debut in Geneva next week with a new diesel-powered Veloce variant

Alfa Romeo has partially revealed and detailed the refreshed 2019 Giulietta hatchback, ahead of its debut at next week's Geneva motor show.

Two versions of the Italian hatchback will be on display at the Swiss event, Veloce and Executive, both featuring revised designs and some new specification.

Headlining the Giulietta range at Alfa Romeo's stand will be the updated Veloce (pictured above), which gets new 'sports' bumpers, yellow-painted Brembo brake calipers, gloss black mirrors, handles, grille, fog-lights and dual tailpipes, along with new gloss black 18-inch alloys and rear privacy glass.

Inside, the updated Veloce also scores Alcantara/fabric seat trim with contrasting yellow stitching, Alfa Romeo logos in the head rests, aluminium pedals and kick plate, matte-anthracite mouldings, a sports steering wheel with yellow top-stitching, the latter also extending to the gear lever and handbrake.
