Alfa Romeo Stelvio price

Alfa Romeo Stelvio price
Remember when there was no such thing as a beautiful SUV? SUVs were spacious, sure. And capable. Even occasionally sporty. But they were never, ever beautiful.
But clearly, something has changed because we defy anyone to gaze upon Alfa Romeo’s new Stelvio and describe it as anything but stunning. The Italian brand’s first-ever SUV can be had with a choice of a turbocharged 2.0-liter petrol-producing 149kW and 330Nm, or a 2.2-liter turbodiesel that generates 154kW and 470Nm, both with an eight-speed auto and all-wheel drive.

The petrol model kicks off at $65,900 and the turbodiesel at $67,900. Standard equipment includes leather, 19-inch alloys, and a power tailgate. A 2.0-liter petrol Ti model, with a 206kW/400Nm engine, is $78,900. The headline-stealing act here is the thumping 2.9-liter bi-turbo petrol V6 that lives exclusively in the performance-focused Quadrifoglio (or Q for short) model. It’s priced at $149,900. 
The same engine that powers the brand’s fire-breathing Giulia QV, the V6 churns out 375kW and
a whopping 600Nm — enough to see 100km/h whip by the windows in just 3.8 seconds.
Sure, the cabin materials aren’t quite up to the soaring standards of its mostly German competition (including the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Porsche Macan) and the on-board infotainment system can feel a generation behind its premium challengers at times, too. But point the Stelvio Q’s shapely nose at anything resembling a twisting road and these drawbacks suddenly feel like little more than tiny foibles. That big bi-turbo engine is the star attraction, sending a constant flow of power to the rear wheels.

The Stelvio’s all-wheel-drive system only directs power to the front axle when maximum grip is required. That power is channeled through an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox, while active torque vectoring (using dual-clutch packs), adaptive dampers and the ability to customize the gearbox, acceleration, and steering at the turn of a dial all add up to an engaging and smile-inducing drive.
Stelvio sits on the same all-new Giorgio platform as the Giulia sedan and benefits from extensive use of aluminum and lightweight materials.

And that means no matter the engine, the Stelvio feels light and lithe when driven enthusiastically and offers what might be the sharpest and most direct steering ever seen in any SUV to date.
Stelvio is on the small side for a premium mid-size SUV, though, measuring shorter nose-to-tail than both the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC. You’re unlikely to notice if you sit upfront, but the back seat can feel a little tight, especially should you attempt to squeeze three adults into it. There are a maximum of 1600 liters of storage space on offer with the rear seats folded flat, but there are better alternatives if moving people or cargo is your main priority.

Sporty SUV buyers are spoiled for choice by BMW, Audi, and Mercedes, as well as the Jaguar F-Pace, Range Rover Velar, and Porsche Macan. While the Stelvio might not be quite so polished or complete in places as its more established competition, if you judge a car by the amount of fun you have behind the wheel, then the Alfa Romeo deserves a spot on your test-drive calendar.
