The premium mid-size SUV offers all of the design, style and performance that consumers have come to expect from Alfa Romeo and marks the brand’s emergence in one of the fastest- growing segments in the United States.
The all-new 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is revealed in front of global media at the 2016 L.A. Auto Show.
The four-door Stelvio offers unparalleled performance in an SUV, delivering a best-in-class 505 horsepower and 443 lb.-ft. of torque from its Ferrari-derived 2.9L V-6 engine. When drivers need more control, they can rely on the Q4 all-wheel-drive system, which comes standard on all Stelvio models.

Alfa Romeo brought the Giulia to Monterey Car Week and displayed it among the premium vehicles at events throughout the region.
