1. Alfa Romeo Stelvio: An Italian supermodel in Gucci hiking boots

"The body is as curvy and sensually shaped as you’d expect from an Italian thoroughbred, even with the extra height. In fact, its profile is closer to a hatchback interpretation of the Giulia’s styling themes than it is to any other faux-4x4, except perhaps the Porsche Macan", writes Martin Pretorius in this in-depth review. The Stelvio was also a SA Car of the Year Finalist, so you can be assured it will be every bit as good to drive as it looks!

 

​2. Stelvio - The Essence of Alfa Romeo

​"The engine fitted to Stelvio is a delight. It is extremely powerful for a two-litre four-cylinder engine. Thanks to turbo-charging and its ingenious MulitAir induction system, it pumps out 206 kW and 400 Nm of torque. But even more importantly, the engine has a traditional Alfa Romeo four-cylinder rasp that is audible in the cabin, a constant presence."

Stuart Johnston is clearly enamoured with the then-new Stelvio in this detailed review. A word of warning: You may be tempted to visit the Alfa dealership after reading this!

 

3.  Merc GLC vs. Lexus NX vs. Alfa Romeo Stelvio: Which one is the best value for money?

Two left-field offerings vs. a popular German mainstay: Which one wears the best-value crown? 

"To keep matters fair in this comparison, we’ve selected petrol-powered AWD variants from each of their ranges, which all sell around the same price point and with similar mechanical specifications", Martin writes. If you've been eyeing one of these models, this article will help you to decide which one will be your wisest buy.

 

4. The Alfa Romeo 4C Spider: Now for something special (Review, 2016)


"You don’t just switch on the engine and set off – you sit there and look around, trying to (in the excitement) figure out how to get accustomed to this car.  Everything feels different to other normal cars of today.  Part race car, part small classic sports car, yet built into an entirely modern body and drivetrain." 

The Alfa Romeo 4C is in a league of its own, and will surprise and delight you with its driving dynamics and sporty demeanour! Definitely the sports car to own if you like to stand out from the usual crowd. 

 

5. Audi Q5 vs. Alfa Romeo Stelvio vs. BMW X3: Running costs comparison

Car ownership entails so much more than just the cost of filling a car with fuel and your miles per gallon / litres per 100 km figure. Take a look as we compare these three premium SUVs to find you the best buy of them all.
