What’s it like to drive? 

Reviewer's opinion

Without resorting to the clichés which usually ooze from any Alfa Romeo review, it has to be said that the Stelvio feels unlike any other SUV behind the wheel. The first thing a keen driver would notice is the unbelievably sharp steering – this isn't a car you drive by moving your arms, you drive it by twitching your wrists.

Interior

What is the Alfa Romeo Stelvio like inside? 

The interior of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is filled with premium materials and modern design lines. Furthermore, with the latest updates applied to the range, customers can expect many technologies and equipment to come as standard. While driving the vehicle is quiet and comfortable and gives the impression of driving a sedan even with the slightly raised ground clearance. 

Style

As one would expect from an Italian car, Alfa Romeo has truly created a stylish and modern looking SUV on both the inside and on the exterior. Upfront Alfisti will instantly recognize the V-shaped grille while as soon as you step into the driver seat, the dual-barrel instrument cluster binnacle is a lovely nod to earlier Alfa Romeo vehicles. However, when you look past the traditional elements, the Stelvio incorporates strong modern lines on the sides of the vehicle and on the interior design.
