Alfa Romeo has long been in the business of crafting cars that ooze passion, and the Stelvio is no exception. Looks that garner love at first sight, the kind of interior design you'd only find in a cosy Italian villa and memorable driving dynamics that have been regarded as best in class. You have a choice between a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol mill in Veloce spec (206 kW / 400 Nm) or a 2.9-litre turbocharged petrol V6 (375 kW / 600 Nm) with an 8-Speed automatic transmission and in all-wheel drive for both models. Pretty pokey, we think, but are these vehicles expensive to repair?
