Introducing the Alfa Romeo Stelvio
In 2016, Alfa Romeo entered the SUV market with the Stelvio. A bold step that combined Italian performance heritage with everyday practicality. Since then, the large Italian powerhouse has been its luxury flagship model, along with the Giulia saloon, thanks to its sculptured Alfa Romeo styling and practical SUV features.
Even in its SUV guise, the Stelvio has enough unmistakable Alfa Romeo appointments to appeal to those who love the sportiness and performance of the Italian marque, but need something larger for the family.
Explore the Stelvio at your nearest Evans Halshaw Alfa Romeo retailer, and discover if this dynamic Italian SUV is the ideal match.
Design and Practicality
The Stelvio balances refined architecture with the presence of a large family SUV. Fluid lines complement its muscular shape, with practical features and recognisable Alfa Romeo styling, such as its traditional V-shaped Scudetto grille, trilobe headlights, and five-petal design wheels.
Opening the doors, you'll find that this Italian SUV is spacious inside and full of traditional Alfa craftsmanship. It's comfortable up front, with plenty of headroom for taller occupants, and a lower driving position, thanks to its sporty DNA. In the back, you get roomy, plush comfort, enough for two adults in luxury, or three with minimal compromise.
Alfa Romeo understood that those who use the Stelvio as their main car will need lots of luggage space, offering up to 525 litres with the seats up, and 1,600 litres with the rear seats folded. What’s more, to stay in line with its SUV character, there are plenty of functional options to choose from, such as practical roof bars and a bike carrier base.
Technology and Safety
To keep things simple, the driver gets a 12.3-inch, fully digital driver display, complemented by a central 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto™ functionality. For those who love music while driving, higher-spec variants also feature a 470-watt Harman Kardon system with 14 speakers and a subwoofer.
Because it's tailored for families, the Stelvio comes with a plethora of driver aids, which support its larger frame. Standard equipment across all trims includes a rearview camera, front and rear parking sensors, and an automatic high-beam system that intelligently directs the main beam away from oncoming traffic.
- Active lane management
- Active blind-spot assist
- Active Cruise Control
- Automatic emergency braking (AEB)
- Driver attention alert
- Traffic-sign recognition
Engines and Performance
True to Alfa Romeo tradition, the Stelvio prioritises driving dynamics. As a larger, taller SUV, it delivers impressively agile handling, maintaining much of the dynamic character that defines the Giulia. Plus, all trims of the Stelvio have Q4 All-Wheel Drive, which enhances cornering and keeps the tyres firmly connected to the road.
Just because it's a family-sized SUV doesn't mean it has to be slow. All variants are equipped with an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox and a 277bhp turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol powertrain, which can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 5.7 seconds. There is also a 503bhp Quadrifoglio Stelvio, which is noticeably quicker.
Despite its performance credentials, the Stelvio achieves a combined fuel economy figure of around 33mpg, which is fairly respectable considering its size and performance.
