The looks
Sure it’s big and it isn’t getting any smaller visually no matter which angle you approach it from, we think it looks pretty darn good. Grafting the face of a brand from its smaller vehicles onto the larger SUVs isn’t always the easiest of things to do and vice versa (just ask Subaru about switching from Impreza to Tribeca) but with the Stelvio I think Alfa Romeo have done a good job.
The new dimensions actually give that classic Alfa grille more space to relax and the aggressive flared intakes around it have helped create an aggressive approach to the car. At the back it doesn’t feel too dumpy, something Alfa could easily have ended up doing. The quad exhausts look great and are set nicely into the lower bumper, and the light clusters are pleasing. Sure, from the side it’s a big old SUV, but there’s no getting away from that. It might not be saying much, but we think the Stelvio might be the best looking SUV around, especially in Quadrifoglio form.
