Alfa Romeo enriches the Giulia and Stelvio range with the Pack Performance. It is a package designed to enhance the identity of the two models through an integration of content ranging from design to technology, up to driving dynamics. Already available in Italy, the new trim once again demonstrates the Biscione brand’s ability to combine technological innovation and sporty character, guaranteeing a “pure” driving experience, in perfect Alfa Romeo style.

Alfa Romeo introduces the Pack Performance
The Pack Performance is immediately recognizable from the interior, made even more distinctive by solutions with strong aesthetic impact. The protagonists are the black leather seats with red stitching (also available without the Pack Performance), along with carbon inserts and red details on the dashboard, door panels, and armrest. On the technology front, further enhancing the experience is the Harman Kardon premium audio system. It was developed to offer perfect acoustic performance inside the cabin, with sound distributed evenly and three-dimensionally thanks to Logic 7 Surround technology.
Distinctive aesthetics and sound
At the center of the system works a 12-channel 900-watt Class-D amplifier, which dynamically manages the sound sources. The speaker configuration balances power, detail, and full range. It consists of 1 subwoofer (224 mm on Stelvio, 180×270 mm on Giulia), 4 woofers of 160 mm, 5 midranges of 80 mm, and 4 tweeters of 25 mm.
The suspension also changes
Besides aesthetics and audio, the new Pack Performance also introduces a leap in terms of suspension and control thanks to Synaptic Dynamic Control. We are talking about the advanced electronically controlled suspension system designed to offer the right balance between comfort, precision, and safety. The system adjusts the shock absorbers’ response in real time through electro-hydraulic valves that modulate the oil flow and, consequently, the damping force based on the road, driving style, and stresses detected by sensors. The behavior integrates with the Alfa DNA selector, making the tuning stiffer in Dynamic (with “touch” reduction via a dedicated button). And progressively softer in other modes to favor fluidity and comfort. Coordinating everything is the Chassis Domain Control, the control unit that supervises the main dynamic systems by instantly processing acceleration and rotation data. At the same time, it harmonizes stability, adaptive suspensions, braking, and other devices dedicated to chassis dynamics.
