Overview

The 2018 Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact convertible class. With a single trim on offer, the Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe has a base MSRP of $55,900, competing directly with the Audi TT Coupe and the BMW M240i Coupe. Only a 1.7L turbocharged inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Together, they produce 237 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, the 4C Coupe maintains a combined fuel economy of 28 MPG. Alfa Romeo offers the 4C Coupe in 7 stunning colors, with the Rosso Competizione Tri-Coat being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The 2018 Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe enters this model year with some significant changes. It is available in a single trim but there are some options and features you could equip. We recommend getting the Convenience package that adds rear parking sensors, cruise control and an alarm system.
