What sets the Alfa Romeo Stelvio apart from its competitors

There's no shortage of luxury SUVs on the market, so it can sometimes be difficult for a manufacturer to make one of its products stand out. Except, when that manufacturer is Alfa Romeo. It's quite simple, the Italian brand doesn't do anything like the others, so when it introduces a model, it's always unique.

Let's take the Stelvio SUV as an example, which has been on the market since 2017. Even though it is about to enter its sixth year on the market, it remains as singular today as it was yesterday.

Why?

First, we have to look at its styling. There are two things to note here. First, the Italian approach. When it comes to design, let's not be afraid of words, the Italians are geniuses. And it's not new; you only have to go back in time to realize that Italian vehicles have always been among the most beautiful of their time.

The Stelvio features absolutely charming, sensual and distinctive lines. The second thing is the brand's signature front end. The grille, in the shape of an inverted triangle, is the only one of its kind in the automotive world, so when an Alfa Romeo vehicle appears in your rearview mirror, you recognize it immediately.

The ride

Another element that defines an Alfa Romeo vehicle is the driving experience it offers. The connection to the road that can be experienced in a Stelvio is unique in the world. Not even German products can reproduce this symbiosis with the road. And we know that this is one of their strengths.

Driving a Stelvio transports you somewhere else. Better yet, you forget that you're behind the wheel of an SUV because this SUV behaves so much like a car.

Quadrifoglio

Finally, Quadrifoglio is a word that awakens the senses at Alfa Romeo. It's used to define the ultra-sporty version of the model, the one powered by a 2.9-liter turbocharged V6 engine that offers 505 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. Here, you're transported to an exclusive world where pleasure is constant. With this engine, and the eight-speed automatic transmission that goes with it, you can reach 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, which is an unbelievable time for a utility vehicle.

Yet the Alfa Romeo Stelvio does it without flinching.

And what about the typical Italian sound? The Stelvio plays music that you never get tired of hearing.

With all the other competing models, you get used to what you have in your hands. With the Stelvio, you rediscover the pleasure of driving on every ride. That's the Alfa Romeo difference.
