Interior

Enhanced comfort and telematics

Sky View panoramic roof
Unique to this segment, the new Alfa Romeo is fitted with a fixed, full-length, laminated glass sunroof incorporating an electrically controlled interior blind.

Dual Zone climate control
The Dual Zone climate control system, fitted as standard across the Alfa Brera range, makes it possible for driver and front seat passenger to select a temperature differential on either side of the cabin.

The system uses solar sensors to monitor solar gain within the two zones and adjust the temperature accordingly. The system also features a highly efficient active carbon pollen filter, and an Air Quality Sensor which automatically activates the climate control recirculation function to prevent the intake of air in areas of high pollution.

Bose sound system
The Bose sound system standard on the Brera 3.2 JTS V6, has been developed for Alfa Romeo by America’s leading acoustic Hi-Fi company, offers peerless acoustic sophistication, boasting exceptional listening quality for each passenger under all conditions.

The 570 watt system comprises a radio/CD player with MP3 compatibility and eight loudspeakers, including a subwoofer built into the luggage compartment with its own 6-channel, 200 watt, digital amplifier for the reproduction of the lowest frequencies. An integrated signal processor automatically adjusts base tones so that they remain natural at any system volume.

Bluetooth connectivity
The new Alfa Brera 3.2 JTS V6 is equipped with Bluetooth hands-free mobile phone technology with voice recognition, to ensure maximum driving safety under all conditions. The system allows for the use of Bluetooth compatible mobile phones anywhere on board, even when stowed in storage compartments, jackets or handbags.

The Bluetooth hands-free system is fully integrated into the new Alfa. It is accessed via a control panel display allied to control keys located on the steering wheel as well as the latest voice activation technology, which has no need to learn a user’s voice in advance.

The system automatically lowers the volume of the radio, and allows occupants to hear a caller through the stereo loudspeakers. An integral, echo-cancellation system maintains sound quality without any deterioration in timbre, thus preventing unpleasant, metallic tones.

Xenon headlamps
The safety benefits of xenon headlights fitted to the Brera 3.2 JTS V6 over conventional halogen lamps are upheld by simple statistics: light intensity doubles, as does the longevity of the lamp itself. Xenon headlamps also consume less energy and distribute the light beam more effectively.

Due to their brighter, far reaching illumination, the new Alfa Brera’s optional xenon headlamps are combined with an automatic ride corrector which compensates not only for static changes due to axle load variation, but also dynamic changes caused by acceleration and braking.

Cruise Control
Cruise Control, operable at speeds over 30 kmh, instantly cuts out when the driver presses the brake or clutch pedal. When the ASR traction control is active, this naturally takes priority over Cruise Control, the system returning the car to the previous set speed once ASR has ceased to function.

Follow Me Home headlights
A practical, safety conscious innovation designed to light the interior of a garage or the path to the front door after the car has been locked. Follow Me Home activates the dipped beams and sidelights of the new Alfa Brera by operating the light flasher stalk within two minutes of turning off the engine. Each time the stalk is operated, light activation is extended by 30 seconds up to a maximum of three and a half minutes.

Parking sensors

The new Alfa Brera is equipped as standard with rear parking sensor equipment, which is activated whenever the ignition is turned on and reverse gear engaged.

The system consists of four ultrasound sensors fitted in the rear bumper linked to an electronic control unit and a buzzer. The four detectors cover the rear corners of the new Alfa Brera from a distance of less than 60 cm, and the area immediately behind the car from a distance of less than 150 cm. Proximity information is transmitted to the driver in the form of bleeps at intervals. The bleeps are emitted with increasing frequency, becoming a continuous signal when the car reaches a distance of 30 cm from any obstacle.
