The 2022 Stelvio is a lot of fun to drive and has personality galore (both good and bad). On the downside, it offers few technology features and comes up short on practicality.

There are penalties to be paid for the Stelvio's exciting driving dynamics and dapper Italian design. The cargo area is relatively small, though this is a matter of perspective. Compared to SUVs with pronounced coupe-like styling, the Stelvio suffers no utility penalty. It also doesn't look particularly luxurious from the driver's seat, a function of its driver-focused purpose. Some competitors also offer more sophisticated technologies. But if you're a driving enthusiast with a strong sense of individualism and you'd rather not own the same compact luxury SUV everyone else does, the 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is sure to please.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Will Kaufman

Average

7.3

out of 10

We drove the 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8/10

How does the Stelvio drive? The Stelvio is an SUV for people who love driving, with a strong and responsive engine, sporty transmission and engaging handling. Power delivery from the four-cylinder engine is urgent, and you'll be hard-pressed to feel the difference between the Stelvio and some vehicles with bigger engines. Our as-tested 0-60 mph time of 5.7 seconds puts the Stelvio within half a second of some heavy hitters.

While the brakes also perform well, they respond inconsistently to input at low speeds. As far as venturing off-road, the Stelvio is all-wheel-drive and comes with hill descent control, but it's meant to be driven on the road. For starters, there's not much clearance, and there are no all-terrain modes as some SUV competitors have.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Stelvio? Ride quality is impressive for a sporty crossover. The Stelvio absorbs sharper bumps and road imperfections yet still feels connected to the road. It can get bouncy, especially on uneven concrete-slab freeways. Around town, it's one of the more comfortable sport-oriented crossovers.

The Stelvio's seats are also sculpted for support, keeping us comfortable for long stints. But they aren't cushy. The leather is on the stiff side, the headrests are brick-hard, and the seat cushions are a bit short for long-legged drivers. Road and tire noise is nicely muted, especially for a sporty SUV.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The Stelvio has pleasing ergonomics and a useful amount of passenger space for both front and rear passengers. The controls are clearly marked and easy to find, and basic infotainment functions are streamlined.

The biggest demerit is poor visibility due to the thick roof pillars. The rear-quarter view over the shoulder in particular is obstructed, and the view through the small rear window is limited. Fortunately, the large side mirrors make up for some of the obstruction.

Technology

6/10

How’s the tech? The Stelvio's technology is cleanly integrated, but there's no question it lags the competition. A good adaptive cruise system and high-quality stereo aside, it's clear that technology isn't the Stelvio's focus. In our testing, Bluetooth took a surprisingly long time to boot up. We also had issues accessing music on phones via USB.

Storage

6/10

How’s the storage? One of the Stelvio's biggest compromises is practicality. The cargo space is narrow, and it falls short of class leaders in total cargo volume. There are a number of interior cubbies, but most are small and of limited usefulness.

The Stelvio's rear seat is big enough for family duty. For child safety seats, the car seat anchor points are clearly marked and easy to access thanks to plastic covers, so you won't have to dig in between the seat cushions. But bulky rear-facing infant seats will infringe on the front seat's range of motion.

Fuel Economy

7.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The regular Stelvio AWD gets an EPA-estimated 24 mpg in combined city/highway driving, which is pretty good for a sporty SUV. On our 115-mile mixed-driving evaluation route, we averaged 23.5 mpg. That's a decent result, but we suspect the Stelvio might be a little thirstier in the real world than the lab.

Value

6.5/10

Is the Stelvio a good value? The Alfa Romeo is a mixed value proposition. On the one hand, you can get a great driver's SUV for less than many competitors. But even fully loaded, it lacks a lot of features found on other SUVs. There's also the question of reliability and longevity, which already seems somewhat questionable. We noticed some creaks and rattles in the cabin and had issues with several electronic systems.

Wildcard

9/10

The Stelvio feels lively and eager on the road, and it encourages you to keep driving and push just a little harder. If you want a fun and sporty SUV and don't mind giving up some practicality and technology, it's a great pick. The Stelvio's distinctive styling helps it stand out too.

2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio trim level differences

Alfa Romeo offers the 2022 Stelvio in Sprint, Ti, Veloce and Quadrifoglio trim levels. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (280 horsepower, 306 lb-ft of torque) powers the Sprint, Ti and Veloce, while the performance-tuned Quadrifoglio boasts a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 (505 hp, 443 lb-ft). Each engine employs an eight-speed automatic transmission, and all Stelvios have all-wheel drive except for the Sprint. It comes standard with rear-wheel drive and AWD is available as an option. Compare the 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio trim levels in-depth.

Which Stelvio trim does Edmunds recommend?

Of the 2022 Stelvio's four trim levels, we recommend the Ti, which slots in one rung above the base Sprint model. The Stelvio Ti includes standard all-wheel drive and provides access to a wider variety of options at a competitive price.
