Expert Rating

Alfa Romeo Stelvio

(2017 - present)

    Summary


    The Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a medium-sized SUV/crossover, and the first vehicle of this kind for the company. It was launched in 2017, with a minor update in late 2019.

    There is a high-performance version called the Stelvio Quadrifoglio. We have a separate page for this model here.

    The Stelvio has received generally good reviews from UK media sources, with particular praise for its driving dynamics, overall performance and safety technology. However, interior quality is not considered to be at the same levels of the best rivals in its class – despite improvements made in late 2019 to address earlier criticisms.

    As of September 2023, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio has an Expert Rating of 66% according to our industry-leading Expert Rating index, based on 32 UK reviews. That puts it in the top half of the medium SUV segment, but some way behind the best in its class. It doesn’t have any electrification options, but if you’re looking for a petrol or diesel medium SUV then it’s certainly competitive.

    The Alfa Romeo Stelvio can be quite an expensive car to run depending on the model you choose, according to data provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our technical partner, Clear Vehicle Data.

    Petrol models offer 33 mpg on average, which is lower than petrol equivalents in the rival BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC model lines. Diesel models offer around 46 mpg on average, making them a more economical choice.

    Insurance premiums are fairly average when compared to the market as a whole, as are service and maintenance costs for the first five years from new.
