The story

Built to win new crossover buyers, Alfa Romeo's first production SUV pairs the Giulia's Giorgio platform with a carbon-fiber driveshaft. Its name comes from the Stelvio Pass, Italy's highest mountain pass with 48 switchbacks.14

How to spot one

Look for

  • A triangular center grille and two side intakes create the three-part nose.1115
  • Early headlights resemble those on the Giulia sedan.15
  • High beltline, bulging fenders and a cabin tucked toward the rear.15
  • Sloping rear glass sits beneath a roof spoiler above a sharply cut-off tail.1115
  • Quadrifoglio: large four-leaf-clover badges on the front fenders.5

Year by year

  1. 2020

    Touchscreen infotainment, a reshaped console with wireless charging, and new leather-wrapped steering-wheel and shifter designs.116

  2. 2023; US model year 2024

    Three-section LED headlights, a reshaped grille and sequential front turn signals give late cars a new face.16

  3. 2023; US model year 2024

    Rear-light covers turn smoked, giving the tail lamps a darker appearance.16

  4. 2023; US model year 2024

    The main dials become a 12.3-inch digital display with three selectable instrument themes.1

Don’t confuse it with

    The rear can suggest a CX-5; check the front for the Stelvio's triangular grille.11
