2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio: All Hail the Italian Performance SUV

It’s a fact that any automaker who wants to maintain a significant market presence in the United States is going to need to have a crossover SUV in its product portfolio. After all, consumers can’t get enough of crossover-like vehicles. They have become the preferred mode of transportation for those looking for a people-moving and cargo-friendly transportation option. These utilitarian aspects are great, but pose a unique challenge for an automaker like Alfa Romeo.

How do you maintain the brand’s high standards of style and performance while delivering what consumers want from crossovers? The good news is that the engineers from Alfa Romeo have done just that with the 2018 Stelvio. While we may be a bit biased, we firmly believe the Stelvio is by far the best-looking sport utility vehicle on the road. It offers unmistakable Italian styling along with incredible driving dynamics.

You’ve got three trims to choose from in the 2018 Stelvio lineup: Base, Ti, and Quadrifoglio. If you’re looking for the ultimate Alfa Romeo experience from your SUV, then you’ll definitely want to go with the Quadrifoglio trim. It’s headlined by an ultra-powerful 2.9L V6 engine that delivers an astounding 505 horsepower.

That’s not to say, however, that the Base or Ti trims come up short in the power department. After all, these are Alfa Romeo vehicles we’re talking about. Each and every 2018 Stelvio turns any long or short road trip around the Washington, D.C., area into an exhilarating experience.

2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Interior Review

Alfa Romeo characterizes the 2018 Stelvio as an SUV “born from a racing pedigree,” but they also ensure that it comes incredibly well-equipped on the inside. Interior options include Nappa leather seating in a choice of three different colors: black, red, or chocolate. With a primary emphasis on performance, it should come as no surprise that the driver’s cockpit features an intuitively arranged and comprehensive control system. These controls include a 7-inch TFT display that provides vehicle performance and diagnostic information.

You can complement the driving dynamics with a premium sound system experience in the 2018 Stelvio, as well. A 900-watt Harman Kardon® system cranks out crystal-clear sound with 14 strategically placed speakers inside the Stelvio.
