The Alfa Romeo brand has a long and illustrious history of producing cars that stir the souls of a select group of motorists. While the brand's modern product portfolio is more aimed at the mass market of everyday car-buying individuals and families, there is something special about driving the Italian brand's models.

Despite its product being seemingly good to drive, well-designed and reasonable to own and maintain, the brand has simply never regained the momentum it once had within the local market, perhaps a victim of its past reputation for reliability and quality issues, which have seemingly become less and less frequent over the last few decades. Still, what would be the most efficient if you're after one of the three model ranges available within the local Alfa Romeo product portfolio? Let's look at the various engines offered in the current Alfa Romeo lineup and see what you should expect from their fuel consumption.
Alfa Romeo fuel consumption comparison
The current Alfa Romeo range consists of three models: the Tonale, Stelvio, and Giulia. There are various powertrain options, with mild hybrid and traditional internal combustion, all paired with the same 8-speed automatic gearbox. The Tonale range is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with mild electric assistance, sending 118kW and 240Nm through the front wheels. The Stelvio range all features all-wheel drive; however, there is the option of either a 2.0-litre 206kW/400Nm turbocharged engine or a 375kW/600Nm 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 in the Quadrifoglio. The Giulia range features the same engines and outputs as in the Stelvio range, but is rear-wheel drive-only!
Alfa Romeo Tonale
The Tonale is the most affordable model within the range, with three options to choose from.
| Model | Powertrain | Claimed consumption |
| Tonale 1.5T Hybrid Veloce | 1.5-litre turbo petrol-electric - Auto | 5.7 L/100km |
| Tonale 1.5T Hybrid Speciale | 1.5-litre turbo petrol-electric - Auto | 5.7 L/100km |
| Tonale 1.5T Hybrid Ti | 1.5-litre turbo petrol-electric - Auto | 5.7 L/100km |
Alfa Romeo Stelvio
The Stelvio is one of the most dynamic SUVs in its segment, but how is its efficiency?
| Model | Powertrain | Claimed consumption |
| Stelvio 2.0T Veloce Q4 | 2.0-litre Turbo petrol - Automatic | 5.7 L/100km |
| Stelvio Quadrifoglio Q4 | 3.0-litre Turbo petrol - Automatic | 9.0 L/100km |
Alfa Romeo Giulia
The Giulia is very likely the last internal combustion-powered sedan that Alfa Romeo will produce, and it appears that the brand is going out with a bang.
| Model | Powertrain | Claimed consumption |
| Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0T Veloce | 2.0-litre Turbo petrol - Automatic | 6.0 L/100km |
| Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio | 3.0-litre turbo petrol-Automatic | 8.2 L/100km |
Verdict
Both the Stevio 2.0T and Tonale models have the same claimed fuel consumption, however, from our own testing, the Tonale is the more efficient of the two, granting it the win here.
