The Stelvio enjoys the same round of subtle updates as the Giulia. Is it just as successful? Full review right here 👇
The Stelvio felt pretty crucial when it launched back in 2017. Alfa Romeo’s then rebirth – let’s politely ignore the fact it’s currently undergoing another – needed an SUV as its backbone. The resulting car looked better than most of its competitors while offering a much defter driving experience. Less of the bombast approach of more aggressive rivals across the board, in summary, and all the more likeable for it.
Well, perhaps its appeal comes from it being the teensiest bit old hat. Don’t get me wrong, it’s aged well. Much like, the flourish of some new triple LEDs up front, darkened lenses at the back and retro-inspired digital dials inside help perk up a car that wasn’t exactly crying out for Botox. Sure, it’s not as outright handsome as its saloon sibling, but its proportions are taut and its surfaces clean. It wears Alfa’s classic phone-dial wheels with welcome ease.
Every Stelvio comes with all-wheel drive, going some way to justify its stocky £6,500 premium over the purely rear-driven Giulia. On dry roads, you’d do well to spot the difference, though, with the Q4 system sending power predominantly to the back and leaving the front axle to pick up the slack when traction is limited. Up to 50 per cent of torque can be sent to the front wheels with reaction speeds of 150ms.
