The 2023 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.

If you want an SUV that feels like something and aren't interested in driving the same luxury crossover as everyone else in town, Alfa Romeo just might have the vehicle for you. The 2023 Stelvio delivers spirited driving, albeit with some built-in sacrifices, in a small SUV with exciting engines and a driver-first feel from behind the wheel.

To further entice you, Alfa Romeo is adding a couple of new limited-edition trims to the 2023 Stelvio lineup. The new Stelvio Lusso builds on the Ti trim with premium leather upholstery in a Crema (white) color, plus leather on the dashboard and door panels and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system.
The new Stelvio Estrema slots below the top-level Quadrifoglio trim. It gets you an adaptive suspension and limited-slip differential paired with the 280-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that powers everything except for the 505-hp Quadrifoglio. The Estrema also features 21-inch gloss black alloy wheels, carbon-fiber veneer and black gloss exterior trim, black leather sport seats, red stitching on the upper door panels, and carbon-fiber accents on the dashboard, doors and center console.
Despite these improvements for 2023, some questionable material choices and an overall lack of premium cabin treatments inside the Stelvio might have you thinking twice about choosing this SUV. But hold your decision until you take the Stelvio out on the open road. Alfa Romeo got all the driving characteristics spot on with its crossover, and that's why the Stelvio might be the right choice if you don't want an Audi Q5 Sportback or BMW X4 but still desire a SUV that offers sporty driving dynamics and distinctive styling. Find out more by reading the Edmunds Expert Rating below.
Edmunds Expert Rating
edmunds TESTED
Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Will Kaufman
Average
7.3
out of 10
We drove the 2023 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 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, 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.
2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio trim level differences
The 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a small crossover SUV that emphasizes performance and driving dynamics over outright luxury. This year, the lineup expands to include Sprint, Ti, Lusso, Veloce, Estrema and Quadrifoglio trim levels. Compare the 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio trim levels in-depth.
Which Stelvio trim does Edmunds recommend?
While the new Lusso and Estrema trims are appealing, we remain partial to the Stelvio Ti. It adds standard all-wheel drive, dressed-up styling, and a more upscale interior while providing access to a greater number of options at a competitive price.

2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Sport 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
As I was reading through reviews on your site, it bothered me to see only 3 stars for this car’s review. I have owned this car since February ‘21 now and it’s been fun to own and drive vs my 2019 BMW X3. Both cars are similar in a sense that Alfa is the old BMW. It’s more exciting to drive and significantly faster.

2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Sprint 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
I replaced my 2019 Kia Stinger GT with the Stelvio. Prior to that, I was driving a 2011 Audi S4, Volvo S60R, Subaru Legacy GT. Being my first SUV and going to a 4-Cylinder, I was a bit wary, but wanted something that stands out (vs an X3, Q5, CX-5, which are a dime a dozen), and handles well.
Despite coming from much lower vehicles, I'm shocked how much better the Stelvio handles and … drives...literally feels like it's on rails. With that, you do not sacrifice ride-quality - on smooth roads it literally glides.
If you are looking for a tech-laden vehicle that basically drives itself, this is not the car for you. This is the driver's car in the segment - I find myself making excuses to just get out and hit the road. Unlike the competition, this car actually has character and a charm to it that super hard to find in new vehicles.
I do have a few qualms - small dealer network, no sunglass holder, the panic button on the key is too large (you can hit it my accident a lot), base seats are too flat, fit and finish could be better, CarPlay is a little slow, and sound system is meh. Sounds like a lot of stuff, but all the nuances disappear once you drive it.
Practical sports car

2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
Reviewers tend to knock the Stelvio for its lack of practicality and technology vs other SUVs. That is because other SUVs are basic driving appliances and their mission is to get you and your family from point A to point B. The Stelvio is not a driving appliance, it is a practical sports car. It has the personality, handling and fun to drive factor of sports cars and sports sedans, but … in a much more practical package. I wanted a sports car, but needed the practicality of an SUV so the Stelvio was the obvious choice. My Stelvio puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Try to say that about any other suv.
Drives better than a Q5 and X3 unique solid
