Italian beauty

2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Lusso 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I bought a 2019 Stelvio Ti Lusso and I love it. The Stelvio is probably not for everybody, but if you prioritize handling and performance in a beautiful package, the Stelvio could be for you. In a world where most small SUVs are built as appliances to provide practicality, utility and comfort for running errands and commuting, the Stelvio differentiates itself from the pack with stellar performance and driving fun. It will put a smile on your face every time that you drive it. The Stelvio is actually a great value too – as the base engine provides the performance that can only be found in some of the upgraded engine packages of the competition at much higher prices. The only base engine that comes close is in the Audi Q5 – and we own one of those too. If I hadn’t bought the Stelvio, I probably would have bought another Q5. The Q5 is quieter, has more trunk space and better technology. The Q5 is also nearly as fast, handles well and is a snowmobile in the winter (we ski in the Colorado mountains almost every week). Although the Q5 is a great vehicle, it has some annoying quirks and I find the seats to be uncomfortable on long drives. It also just lacks the pure driving pleasure of the Stelvio. The other thing that I appreciate about the Stelvio is that not everybody has one. In our neighborhood, we have multiple X3’s, X5’s, RX’s and other luxury SUV’s but nobody else has an Alfa. When you drive the Stelvio in public, people notice it and ask about it. With the metallic black paint, yellow brake calipers and 20” five hole wheels, it looks exotic and stands out from the more sedate competition. If you want a sports car with AWD and the practicality of an SUV, check out the Stelvio.

Just purchased a Stelvio Ti sport after cross shopping Audi Q3 and Q5, Porsche Macan, Volvo XC60, Mercedes GLC, and BMW X3. The Stelvio and Macan had the best handling characteristics of the group, however, the Stelvio delivered the more engaging driving experience overall. We also preferred the styling of the Stelvio....ours is Rosso Competizione with the Nero Edizione package....it is absolutely stunning and draws quite a few curious onlookers. The leather interior option (dash, door panels) is very upscale....the interior controls have a quality feel to them and the new infotainment system is very intuitive and easy to use. This vehicle puts a smile on your face every time you get behind the wheel....handles like a sports sedan....so much fun to drive....very pleased so far!!! Update- 04/02/21. Absolutely no issues to report....the car has been very reliable so far! Still feel the same way about the Stelvio as I did when I wrote the review.

We were about to get a Porsche Macan S & then test drove the Stelvio ti sport. It was instant love, we signed on the dotted line and have no regrets. We cannot be happier or recommend it more.Nothing is perfect, the info system could be improved. But this is a driver’s delight of a car. We’ve had Mercedes SUV, Range Rover Supercharged Sport, BMW X5M & Audi SQ5, this Stelvio beats them all in style & driving experience. The upgraded leather interior is beautiful. It’s the best red we’ve seen, bar none. We have every imaginable option & they are all primo! Run don’t walk to test drive this beauty. Our other cars, a Ferrari, Porsche 911 & Jeep Wrangler.

I needed a 4WD vehicle that could fit the family. I replaced a BMW328i with my Stelvio after driving 12 different cars and SUVs (Audi, BMW, Honda, Ford, Acura, Subaru etc.). I'm extremely happy with my choice. The combination of handling, power, smoothness, and simply being fun to drive are something I couldn't find in anything else that would fit two adults in the rear seat comfortably and carry a reasonable amount of stuff. The value is excellent. A comparably equiped BMW X3 would have been a solid $12K more with real leather and you can't get Android auto. Alfa Romeo seems to be aiming squarely at the part of the BMW and Audi market who like to drive. I think they hit the mark and they got my business. Update after 9 months and 8000 miles. The Stelvio drives great in the snow, hauls stuff with the back seats down, had plenty of room for people, and had been a great car so far.
