How does the 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio distinguish itself from its competitors

To stand out on the market, a model must offer distinct elements, specific to its DNA, its personality. That's how it can truly seduce a clientele and see them become loyal to it.

That's what the Stelvio SUV from Alf Romeo offers. No, it's not the best-selling SUV in the industry, because it plays the sobriety card, despite a more than eye-catching design. However, it manages to stand out from its rivals thanks to some very special features.

Let's take a look at some of them.

The style

Each company offers models with different styles and it is usually possible to identify products from one brand or another. However, confusion is always possible, as the signatures have many unique features.

Except with Alfa Romeo. In fact, you only have to look at the front grille to understand it all. With its inverted triangle design, the approach is unique throughout the industry. Unique as in the ONLY one that adopts this style. This is as true with the SUV as it is with the group car.

The Drive

The other element that is truly unique to Alfa Romeo is the driving experience. From the very first turns of the wheel, you can feel that all-Italian DNA winking at you as you begin a symbiosis with the vehicle. The sensation is unique, really, and it's all about the feel of the road and the tires, as well as that absolutely superb grip on the wheel that only adds to the feeling of sportiness that comes over you when you get your hands on a model.

The V8

It takes a lot of nerve to put a 5-litre V8 engine under the hood of such a small SUV. But that's what Alfa did, and the quadrifoglio version offers a 506-horsepower mill. Elsewhere, we often have to make do with a 4-cylinder engine loaded with elements that allow it to perform better, or with a turbocharged V6 that also works harder than usual in most scenarios.

At Alfa Romeo, they're keeping with tradition with a performance V8 that's equipped with a good old fashioned V8 engine. Behind the wheel, the sensation is unique and our senses are seriously challenged with such a car.
