Alfa Romeo Stelvio: The Sporty Luxury SUV

The Stelvio is Alfa Romeo's first SUV, a stylish and sporty luxury crossover that includes the ferocious Quadrifoglio.

Launched in 2016, the Stelvio was Alfa Romeo's first SUV, sharing its rear-biased platform with the Giulia sedan. Named after the famous Alpine pass, it brought Alfa's driving passion and Italian style to the popular compact luxury SUV segment.

The Stelvio is praised for handling that is genuinely engaging for an SUV, with sharp steering and a sporty character. The range-topping Stelvio Quadrifoglio uses the same Ferrari-derived twin-turbo V6 as the Giulia, making it one of the fastest SUVs and a former Nurburgring SUV record holder.

The Stelvio gave Alfa Romeo a crucial entry in the lucrative SUV market while preserving the brand's focus on style and driving enjoyment.
