SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 6, 2025 – If you’ve ever admired the sleek lines and unmistakable style of an Alfa Romeo, you’re not alone. German car enthusiasts have spoken loud and clear, awarding Alfa Romeo top honors in this year’s AUTO BILD Germany “Best Brands” contest—not once, but three times.
A Hat-Trick for Italian Elegance
In a standout performance, Alfa Romeo was named #1 for design in three major categories: the “midsize segment,” “midsize SUVs,” and the coveted “overall design” award. Voted on by around 40,000 passionate readers of AUTO BILD and BILD Germany, the awards reinforce Alfa Romeo’s strong visual appeal and deep connection with design-conscious drivers.
German fans clearly can’t get enough of the Italian brand’s distinct blend of sporty flair and timeless sophistication. Representing the midsize segment is the sleek Giulia sports sedan, while the bold and agile Stelvio SUV captured hearts in the midsize SUV category.
Why Design Matters to Drivers
More than just aesthetics, great design translates to emotional satisfaction, pride of ownership, and even driving confidence. Alfa Romeo models deliver all this with elegance to spare. As Christine Schulze Tergeist, Managing Director of Stellantis Premium Brands Germany, explained:
“Our models perfectly reflect the aesthetic taste of discerning German enthusiasts. This is demonstrated by the further hat-trick in the design categories of the ‘Best brands in all categories’ contest held by AUTO BILD.”
She went on to emphasize the importance of winning across multiple categories:
“It is particularly significant that the awards cover two different vehicle categories, as well as the overall rankings. This demonstrates the wide range in which Alfa Romeo design manages to express itself perfectly.”
A Testament to Italian Craftsmanship
The accolades are a glowing endorsement of the Alfa Romeo Centro Stile design team, who have consistently delivered vehicles that inspire emotional connection and admiration. In addition to the Giulia and Stelvio, Alfa Romeo’s German lineup includes the Junior and the Tonale—both available with electrified powertrains for those looking to pair performance with sustainability.
These awards are part of the 14th annual “Best Brands in All Categories” contest, which asked readers to rate 40 leading automotive brands. Categories included purchasing potential, image, technology, and of course, design. Alfa Romeo’s triple win is a strong sign that it continues to set the benchmark in visual excellence.
