2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Lusso
Powertrain
The 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Lusso Q4 features a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque which had a 0 to 60 around 5.4 seconds. The SUV feels very quick in Sport mode and the engine is smooth running with minimal throttle delay.
The ZF 8 speed transmission shifts smoothly and seems to be in the right gear most of the time. The manual range allows gear holding and the paddle shifters are a sporty touch and fun to use.
Interior and switches
The overall interior is laid out well and the switch have a high quality feel. The engine start button on the steering wheel had excellent feel and was a very nice feature that looked good too.
How much does it cost?
The MSRP on this SUV was around $59k.
Radar Cruise Control
The SUV did not have radar cruise control, however it seems the SUV has all the hardware less a button to activate it on the steering wheel.
NAVI, sound system and speakers
The Harmon Kardon system had poor bass and the overall sound was good, but not great. The NAVI was poor and did not have a Nort Up map setting and had lower resolution.
Fuel efficiency and range
MPG often matched the EPA rating of 22 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, with a combined rating of 24 mpg.
Ride and handling
This Stelvio was equipped with the electronically adjustable suspension package. There wasn't much of a handling difference in sport mode however the ride did become more firm. Body lean was excessive during high speed cornering.
Noise levels
Noise levels are low and also near luxury car levels for engine, wind and tire noise. At higher speeds there is slight wind noise around the side view mirrors.
Seat comfort
Seat comfort is very good with supportive seat and durable Napa leather.
AC performance
The AC performance in high temeratures was adequate, but wasn't able to run without switching automatically to recirculate which lessens the load on the system and made in the interior slightly humid.
3.0 V-6 Turbo Diesel
Good underbody protection with off-road package
Good rear leg room
