What class of car does Alfa Romeo belong to?

Alfa Romeo is a Class A racing car, with the snake emblem representing Alfa Romeo vehicles. Its lineup includes models such as the Giulia, Giulia Quadrifoglio, Stelvio, Stelvio Quadrifoglio, and Giulias. Taking the 2020 Giulia as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4643mm, width 1860mm, height 1438mm, with a wheelbase of 2820mm and a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters. The 2020 Giulia features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0T naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 280PS, a maximum power of 206kW, and a maximum torque of 400Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The Toyota Alphard is a large luxury MPV, essentially the top-tier model among family-oriented people carriers. It's significantly wider than regular seven-seaters, offering enough legroom to stretch out completely. The second-row features aviation-style seats with ventilation, heating, and massage functions, plus a starry sky headliner. In Japan, it's actually considered a corporate vehicle, but in China it's been elevated to near-mythical status, favored by many celebrities for school runs. One major gripe: the 300,000-400,000 RMB dealer markup is brutal - enough to buy a Mercedes C-Class. At this price point, the Lexus LM is another option, though even more extravagant with an out-the-door price approaching 2 million RMB.
The Alphard is Toyota's top-tier MPV, with luxury levels several notches above the Buick GL8. I particularly love its second-row zero-gravity seats that can recline to 170 degrees – perfect for long trips, lying on them feels like sleeping on a bay window. At nearly five meters long, it surprisingly has a tight turning radius, making garage maneuvers effortless. The sound insulation is phenomenal; with windows up, even bus horns sound muffled as if through cotton. But be warned: while the standard 2.5L hybrid suffices for city driving, opt for the 3.5L V6 version and you'll frequent gas stations with its 14L/100km thirst.
