The Alfa Romeo Stelvio (Tipo 949) is a compact luxury crossover SUV manufactured and
marketed by the Alfa Romeo subdivision of Stellantis (formerly with FCA), first revealed at Alfa Romeo Stelvio
the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show, and entering production at the Cassino Plant at the end of
2016.[3] It is currently Alfa Romeo's best-selling model, with roughly 43,000 sold in 2018.
The Stelvio uses FCA's Giorgio platform, shared with the D-segment Giulia saloon.[4] The
name Stelvio derives from the Stelvio Pass,[1] Italy's highest mountain pass, noted for its 48
circuitous switchbacks.[5]

History and development Overview
The Quadrifoglio trim level offers a 2.9 litre 690T twin- Wheelbase 2,818 mm (110.9 in)
Rear turbo V6 rated at 510 PS (375 kW; 503 hp), developed Length 4,687 mm (184.5 in)
for Alfa Romeo by Ferrari.[8] On January 18, 2017, Alfa Width 1,903 mm (74.9 in) excl
Romeo began accepting orders for the Stelvio First mirrors
Edition in the EMEA region. On November 2, 2017, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio went on sale in
Italy.[9] Height 1,648 mm (64.9 in)
Kerb weight 1,660 kg (3,660 lb)
For the 2019 model year, diesel engines of the Stelvio were updated to meet the Euro 6d
emissions standards, with AdBlue technology introduced to tackle particulates in the exhaust. Both the 150 PS (110 kW; 148 hp) and 180 PS
(132 kW; 178 hp) versions got 10 PS (7 kW; 10 hp) more from this change. In addition, Alfa Romeo introduced a new trim level for Europe:
the Ti (Turismo Internazionale). Slightly different than the similarly named Stelvio Ti on sale in the United States, the Euro-spec Ti is fitted
with the TBI-M 2.0-litre inline-four, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, with power sent to all four wheels through Alfa Romeo's
Q4 all wheel drive system.[10]
All models feature an 8.8 inch infotainment system with Apple Car Play and Android Auto as standard, while small tweaks have been made
throughout the ranges.[11] In Europe, consumption standards use the WLTP measuring system, which increases accuracy for consumption and
emission figures.
It has a 50/50 weight distribution and a drag coefficient of 0.32 (Cd).[12] To help keep the Stelvio's
weight in check, Alfa Romeo uses aluminum for body parts, such as the fenders, hood, and tailgate, as
well as for mechanical parts such as the suspension, brakes, and engine. Interior
The suspension, called AlfaLink, implements double wishbones in the front, and an aluminum multi-
link configuration in the rear. The springs are longer than those in the Giulia, but stiffer to account for
the extra weight and ride height. The driver sits 190 mm (7.5 in) higher from the road than in the Giulia.[13]
Rear-wheel drive as standard, the Stelvio can be optioned with Alfa Romeo "Q4" all wheel drive system, which can send up to 50% of power
to the front in low-grip conditions. The Stelvio weighs 1,660 kg (3,660 lb) with all fluids, 145 kg (320 lb) less than an equivalent BMW X3
and 110 kg (243 lb)[14] less than a four-cylinder Porsche Macan.[13]
Models
In North America, the Stelvio is available in seven different trim levels: Stelvio, Stelvio Sport, Stelvio Ti
(for Turismo internazionale; this trim has four levels: Ti, Ti Lusso, Ti Sport, and Ti Sport Carbon), and the
top-of-the-line Quadrifoglio. At the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, a limited edition (only 108 examples)
NRING trim of the Stelvio (Nürburgring-inspired special edition) was unveiled.
The NRING edition has carbon-ceramic brakes, Sparco seats, carbon-fiber interior trim, and a Mopar-
branded gear shifter and floor mats. The cars are differentiated on the exterior by NRING badges as well
as carbon-fiber mirror caps and side skirts. Equipment is upgraded to include adaptive cruise control, and
a premium sound system.[15]
In April 2018, NYIAS unveiled a Nero Edizione Package for the Stelvio. This edition grants a new
exterior appearance through special blacked out wheels, badging, and other touches. The Nero Edizione package is available only for the 280
horsepower, 2.0 litre model.[16]
At the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show, Alfa Romeo Racing limited edition was introduced, which celebrate Alfa Romeo's legendary
racing history and the entry of a new Italian driver onto the Formula 1 scene: Antonio Giovinazzi joins the "Alfa Romeo Racing" team with
World Champion Kimi Räikkönen. This special edition has exclusive paintwork, as a tribute to the Alfa Romeo Racing C38 Formula 1 car.
Carbon fibre parts, an Akrapovič titanium exhaust system,[17] and other tweaks shave off about 28 kg (62 lb) from the standard Quadrifoglio
version. The retuned engine now produces 520 PS (382 kW; 513 hp).[18]
Safety
The Stelvio was crash tested in July 2017 by Euro NCAP. Overall, the Stelvio achieved five star results. For adult protection, the Stelvio did
"exceptionally well" , with its near perfect 97% matching that of the Volvo XC90 (all tests are not comparable because Euro NCAP updated
its protocols in 2017).
The Stelvio is also fitted with an autonomous emergency braking system (AEB) as standard.[20]
Facelift (2020)
Alfa Romeo introduced the newly updated Stelvio in China, with both the Giulia and the Stelvio
featuring updated interiors, a new 8.8 inch touchscreen for the infotainment system, which now offers a Euro NCAP test results
WiFi hotspot, over the air software upgrades, integrated emergency call function, and call assistant Alfa Romeo Stelvio (2017)[19]
