With over a century of history, Alfa Romeo knows a thing or two about crafting quality vehicles. Heavily involved in motor racing since its launch, sporty design is ingrained in the make’s DNA.
Today, Alfa Romeo offers a limited but no less impressive lineup of luxury vehicles, including the stylish Giulietta and Stelvio.

Alfa Romeo insurance groups and tax bands
To determine a fair price for your premium, insurers weigh up a lot of information both about you and about the car you’d like covered. That may include the model’s insurance group, based on a banding system that runs from 1-50. Cars in the highest-numbered groups tend to cost more to repair and come with greater risks. Learn more about how car insurance groups work.
There’s also a banding system used to calculate your road tax. Also known as Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), this tax is owed annually and charged according to your car’s CO2 emissions.
