2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio review: Our expert's take

What Is the 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio?

The Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a luxury SUV that seats up to five people. It comes standard with a 280-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that works with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. A high-performance 505-hp Quadrifoglio version with a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V-6 is available. Competitors include the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Acura RDX.

What's New on the 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio?

There's a new base rear-wheel-drive version, and heated rear seats and a premium alarm are new options. New packages add black or carbon fiber accents.

What Features in the 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Are Most Important?

The Stelvio's near 50:50 weight distribution, front to rear, contributes to the SUV's handling prowess, and even the base turbocharged four-cylinder engine is a strong performer with zero-to-60-mph acceleration in 5.4 seconds, according to Alfa Romeo.

Should I Buy the 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio?

If sporty performance is foremost in your luxury SUV search, there's a good chance the Stelvio will fit the bill with its quick acceleration, responsive transmission and good handling. It's not the most luxurious inside, however, and its multimedia system isn't the easiest to use.

Best car I've ever owned!

Best car I've ever owned! I've driven multiple luxury vehicles, and nothing handles better than my Stelvio. It's zippy, yet smooth. The A/C is the best I've ever experienced in a vehicle, the CarPlay is never finicky, and it is always such a relaxing drive (even in Houston traffic). I test drove a couple before I purchased, and I've never seen a model that was so consistent across all of their vehicles. I have had no major issues with this car, and it is severely underrated!

Drive one and you will buy one !

I drive fast cars all the time and this car blew me away. I love this as my everyday car I got it fully loaded every option. I literally slam on the gas a LOT AND THE CAR CAN TAKE IT ! So far so good on reliability and my red interior and red stitching makes this car feel so premium. People always stare and try to guess what is it.

Alfa Masterpiece

Very few road worthy driver's cars especially SUVs available in this price category. Alfa has done a wonderful job for the few who desire a driver's car. The acceleration, feel, cornering and handling are superb as is the steering feel and sound. A Ferrari like experience for those of us on a budget. Love it! Yes it could be lot more luxurious but then go buy a Lexus. I hope Alfa stays this way and financial and sales pressures do not force Alfa to 'soften' the ride and ruin a masterpiece driving experience like some manufacturers have done.
