Overview

You don't want to drive the same luxury crossover as everyone else in town; you want an SUV that feels like something. Alfa Romeo may offer the perfect car for you. The Stelvio is a tiny SUV that offers sporty driving, albeit with certain inherent trade-offs, and is distinguished by its engine and cockpit design that puts the driver first.


For 2023, Alfa Romeo is introducing a brand-new, limited-edition trim. The top-tier Quadrifoglio trim is above the Estrema trim. The 280-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that powers everything under the 505-horsepower Quadrifoglio is included, as is a limited-slip differential. Additional features include an all-wheel drive that is connected to an eight-speed transmission.

The Estrema, shown above, has a variety of design accents, including gloss black 21-inch alloy wheels, a carbon-fiber veneer on the grille and mirror caps, and black gloss on the door pillars and side window trim. Black leather sport seats, red stitching on the upper door panels, and carbon fiber elements on the center console, doors, and dash can all be found inside. Alfa White, Alfa Rosso, Misano Blue, and Vulcano Black are the available colors for the Estrema trim, which has a starting price of $60,545..


The Stelvio added extra driver aid technologies for the 2022 model year, like adaptive cruise control, but it still trails behind rivals (in particular, the Genesis GV70). This, together with certain dubious material selections and a general absence of a luxurious atmosphere within the car, may cause you to second-guess your decision to purchase the Stelvio. Until you drive the SUV on a wide-open road, that is. 


Alfa Romeo's crossover hit every driving attribute right on the head, so if you don't want a BMW X4 or Mercedes-Benz GLC but still want an SUV with sporty driving and distinctive looks, the Stelvio might be the best option.
