2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Sport 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
I just bought my Stelvio a month ago and I love it. It's a great mid size suv for everyday ride. Fast and powerful engine, beautiful design inside and out. This is a car that will put a smile on your face every morning.

It’s different in its own special way. Worth giving it a try.

Which Stelvio does Edmunds recommend?
The new base model with rear-wheel drive is interesting, but the Stelvio makes more sense when equipped with all-wheel drive. Go for the Ti trim for its heated seats and steering wheel and parking sensors. Add the Sport package for its better seats and steering-column-mounted shifter paddles, and you've hit the sweet spot of the Stelvio range.
Full Edmunds Review: 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio SUV
Driving
8.0The Stelvio is an SUV for people who love driving. It has a strong and responsive engine, a sporty transmission and engaging handling. It's of the more entertaining SUVs on the road.
Comfort
8.0We were impressed by the Stelvio's comfort, especially for a sport-oriented crossover. But the seats have some shortcomings, the ride is generally compliant but gets bouncy, and climate control is easy to use but falls short in automatic mode.
Interior
7.5The Stelvio has a good amount of space both front and back. The controls are clearly marked and easy to find, and basic infotainment functions are streamlined nicely. But the settings menus are convoluted. The biggest demerit is poor visibility due to thick roof pillars.
Utility
6.0Practicality is not one of the Stelvio's strengths. The cargo space is narrow, and total cargo volume falls short of class leaders. There are a number of interior cubbies, but most are small and of limited usefulness. At least the LATCH points are easy to find.
Technology
6.0What technology the Stelvio has is cleanly integrated, but there's no question it lags behind the competition. A good adaptive cruise system and high-quality stereo aside, it's clear that technology isn't the Stelvio's forte. If you want all the bells and whistles, look elsewhere.
