2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Review and Road Test In 4K Norm T: Waiting for your review of the Envision Premium l 2. 0T with Twin Active Clutch AWD that torque vectors power to the outside, rear wheel. It is more expensive on paper at 45K but also offers more features like power lift gate, cross traffic alert, all outboard seats heated along with steering wheel to name a few. But with normal discounts of 10, 000 or 15, 000 through 2017, 30, 000 is not uncommon. That is less than the economy cuvs at 33, 000-35, 000 like the CR-V, Rav4, CX-5, and Forester XT all which dont match 4 years and 50, 000 miles. The Envision eclipse every vehcile mentioned in head room at almost 40 inches, 3rd place in legroom, and about 10 more feet of cargo than the Stelvio. Oh and the rear seat is 60/40 split and slides. Which is perfect for our dogs in the back seat if we have to brake hard. Motor Trend has the Envision 2. 0T about a half second behind the Stelvio in the figure-8 test with slightly better braking from 60 to a stop. Consumer Reports has the Envision about half of second slower in the 1/4 mile time but it brakes shorter from 60 mph and has a faster Emergency Lane Change test at 55. 5 vs 53. 5 mph. Our Envision 2. 0T is coming up on 12, 000 miles and sees 32 mpg at 65 mph or 30 mpg loaded.

Thanks for the review Alex. I just test drove the Stelvio today. I compared it to the Volvo cx60, Discovery sport and f pace. You are spot on about the lack of grip on the tires and the volvo and discovery were definitely the most comfortable for me. I got in and out of the fpace immediately. I coudnt test drive it, as I didnt like the way I felt in the cabin there. too tight for me. Your reviews are great and I really appreicate the time you take to do a review and the detail. I also sound like I know what I am talking about when at the dealership. LOL, so they sort of stop trying to sell me, which is nice.

Happy New Year and holidays Alex Sitting here watching this video while eating dinner, and I honestly enjoy your presentations (and YouTube in general) better than TV now haha. Call me your typical millennial lol. Your work has inspired me to keep my car blog, Adams Autos going Wishing you more success in 2018Sidenote: Saabkyle04s review of the 2011 SAAB 9-4x Aero went up almost at the same time as this, and boy, do I wish that company was still around to compete with Alfa and everyone else in this segment nowadays.

Complete and precise analysis (though some judgments are personal and subjective) but the definitive question is only one; you like driving a car although this is only a suv? If the answer is yes Stelvio is the car for you because in terms of performance, handling, design and driving pleasure doesnt fear any comparison. If instead for you a car is just a vehicle to go from one place to another can buy any other cars (who still have qualities and flaws like everything. Sry for eng (I use Google.

Great review. First time seeing your videos and man they are thorough Ive just special-ordered my Stelio Ti from Italy. To get what I wanted (the dark green color with 20 rims, HK stereo, and the natty new leather dash/uppers option) I have to wait. Couldnt find one stateside probably due to the rare color, which Id call British Racing Green except its an Italian car so they call it Verde Visconti: . Btw Android and Apple car software are now standard as of Spring 2018.

This is one of the best cars in the middle SUV segnent. Volvo XC60 (only 2-liters 4-cylinder engines) and Audi Q5 (very ordinary) are primery FWD vehicle, Mercedes GLC is comfortable, but boring, new BMW X3 is ugly and also boring with the standart interior for all new BMW. Only Jaguar F-pace is well-balanced gamer in this class, but has a little bit cheap interior in some places. Porsche is in other, extralusso class with more aggressive prices.

I think that you should adjust your review content somewhat when it comes to SUVs. I would expect people looking for this class of vehicle would put safety and comfort at the top of the list of considerations. For example, some SUVs dont offer blind spot monitoring w/ rear cross traffic alert, a gross oversight IMO. Given the competitive nature of this segment, and the motivations of shoppers, I believe a slightly different focus is warranted.

The failure rate of Alfa and Fiat here in the States is what 60%. Worse cars made since 1980s the first time they crawled out of America. Or should I say pushed their garbage back to Italy. LoL. You would think that 30 years they would come back better. NOPE. But now they can ruin Dodge and Chrysler as well. Alex you do a great job dressing up a turd. But even your awesome job on reviews cant save Alfa from well being Alfa.

Alfa is making cars for driving. This makes it so appealing. I test drove the Stelvio a few days ago and I love it. A very exciting and fun ride. These Safety features are annoying as hell(especially the auto start stop. If you cant manage to stay in your lane or use your mirrors and eyes to avoid hitting things, you dont belong on the road in the first place.

Gorgeous machine. The DRLs are a bit exaggerated, and the flappy paddle shifters are really for posers. All those safety systems you find on the competition-- insurance companies seem to like em. I guess my real concern would be authorized service center locations, especially in that the further you stray, the more Murphys Law sneaks up on an Italian car.
