Nice video keep up the good work my brothers
My wife has had a Stelvio for two years. She’s driven Mercedes, BMW, Audi…and Alfa is seriously one of the very best cars she’s ever owned and it is every bit as fun as any of her Bimmers. We’ve not had one single solitary problem. Flawless.
How’s the build quality though? I heard it’s almost as cheap as Tesla’s
@@j0epark1 I actually have no complaints. Seriously one of the best vehicles ever owned.
I love mine!
@@j0epark1Hai sentito male !!
I want to be your wife
It's funny to me how much people put interior tech over performance. Go and test drive the Stelvio instead of basing your decisions on a video and a touch screen. The new digital cluster gives you great features and sticks to performance features that you would expect! And don't forget that this platform was derived by a Ferrari designer (458 Italia) along with the Alfa Romeo designers. That is what sets the Giulia and Stelvio models apart from the rest.
For the money there is no reason not to have a high resolution touchscreen. Sorry but that's just reality.
@@johnsambo9379 I bough a new Stelvio in 2020. The dealer told me that they had to cut corners somewhere because they were already offering too much for the money. And I couldn't agree more. 50/50 weight distribution, carbon fiber shaft, mid-engine setup, aluminum all over the place (even the engine is full aluminum), double wishbone suspension, handling like no other, reverse Ackermann steering geometry (race car and super/hyper car stuff), etc. Stelvio is not my dream car, but a dream car.
@@johnsambo9379 I get it. The decisions you make are a compromise. I still have my Alfa Romeo because I didn't want to compromise on performance.
@@jimparsons9961Why they care so much about the touch screen. It is why I will stop watching them and this is all of their videos.
I mean what do you expect from people that don’t know any car history nor how an engine works and how to judge a good car from a bad car. The attention to detail on the Alfa is unknown by most of drivers, for example almost nobody knows that the Stelvio suspensions are very sophisticated and they were engineered by the same engineer who realized the Ferrari Enzo suspensions.
I won't buy any BMW when Alfa Romeos are being built.
The Italian car is back.
I mean there is no comparison between any German to these Alfas; there are real badass engineers from Ferrari, Maserati and Alfa Romeo behind the last Alfa Romeo models which is a knowledge and richness that any German engineer recognizes and admires, there is nothing to comment against, they are the leader in all their segments as well engine, platform, brakes, suspensions, weight, aerodynamics, etc. are the top of the top that you can get today and these two teenagers obviously judge a vehicle by the digital entertainment when the real entertainment of a car is supposed to be the drive and performance indeed 🤦♂️
I paid cash for two BMW X4’s. 21 X4 30i and 23 X4 M40i. I kept nothing for only a year. Before it depreciated anymore i sold both and have an Alfa again. 24 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloche and i absolutely love this freaking car. Couldn’t say this about the BMW’s although i really wanted to. The drive is like comparing apples and oranges. The Stelvio drives like a sports car; its sexy and fun! If you wNt technology get the bimmer but if you want a fun drive get the Alfa. Love this freaking car!!!! ❤
Okay I'm going to say this one thing to the question in hand. Is the Alfa Romeo Stelvio better than the BMW X3? My response is hell yeah it's better. Better looking better driving and it can actually draw attention to itself.
It also has the the tech of a 1990's Honda. That's ridiculous for the price point.
@@johnsambo9379What the BM doesn’t?
I think the BMW’s are too “boxy” and the coupe versions are ugly. I think the Stelvio looks understated excepting the wheels.
I agree it is nicer than the x3
@@johnsambo9379 Never seen an 1990's honda with an infotainment system, digital dash, or apple car play. But go off. 🤡
Fabulous video of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio!!! Great job guys!!!
Alfa for me ❤
I own that exact model and color. It’s been a great car and I love it. I cross shopped the Volvo xc60 r Audi sq5 and bmw x3 m packed and the alfa is was the winner. I don’t car for the tech inside the car. I never look at the back up screen I just use my mirrors and I plug my phone in and just use my Spotify and gps works perfectly. With it in dynamic mode you can switch the suspension dampers to soft. I never do. I get in it switch it right to dynamic mode and go. N or A mode I’ll use on the highway if I’m just cruising in the right lane.
Excellent review as always!😸
Glad you enjoyed it!
14:30 am i the only one that chuckled when he scooted the seat back 😂
Second stelvio, looking at 3rd. Have to say, all the interior stuff really comes together in the graycle. But at a price, pushing it into quad territory. And that's why I'm looking at the quad. It really has been no issue vehicle
This is very underrated. I sometimes forget it exist. And its not a bad car, that i think should be recognized more. Though it is showing its age in terms of technology. Kind of reminds me of 2018. Flashbacks basically. Though i do like what they did with the headlights
I love the new alfa romeo !
Great review. As we say in England, no matter the consequences, you have to have an Alfa once in your life. Now they're back in the U.S. where I live now, this is a real possibility.
Thanks!
The only thing I don't like about my Stelvio Quad is that the proximity luck/unlock handles are in the front seats. So you must briefly touch the driver/passenger door to unlock your car before loading kids. It is extremely good value if you buy it used. It has amazing handling for a SUV. If you don't get the Quad which I think you should, the 2.0 can be tuned for more performance than you could on the X3.
It’s very nice and affordable ! I like the metal speaker grills!
Great review! This is one stunning driver’s vehicle. The interior is impressive, loving the paddle shifters
Thanks!
Petrol or diesel engine is the best choice? Which is the best engine?best construction?
Beautiful, but I have a question, I'm thinking of giving myself something new for Christmas, which one would you buy this Alfa Romeo or would you buy the Genesis Gv70 3.5 Prestige?
Depends on your priorities but the 3.5L Genesis will have more power and a more modern interior, so that would be my personal choice
@@CarConfections The gv70 has me in love with that very modern red interior, the only thing I don't like very much is the size but it's probably because I have a 2021 pilot elite and maybe it's difficult for me to go down to a smaller SUV but I'm in love, although I also have in mind the Mercedes GLS or the Range Rover Sport although the investment is double the Genesis
@@CarConfections but I feel that the gv70 is a very good investment and I save half the money
Stellantis is killing it ! 👍🇺🇲
They could at least update some of the switchgear.. you get the same seat controls in an old Chrysler Town & Country, for example..
Thanks for the great review guys !
A very nice driving suv.
Yes, I will buy new 2024 Alfa Romeo Stelvio.
If you love drive...you buy Alfa !!!
Awesome SUV guys.
Great video, I have followed and owned 2 Alfas in the last 30 years. Alfa has failed to match BMWs and Mercedes during the 30-year period for various reasons. Buyers were not buying them. However with their latest model range, I think Alfa will beat both BMW and Mercedes in the non M and AMG sector. Every car guy must get an Alfa Romeo?!
I’m sure better than X3.
Hello guys, Just wanted to confirm if they have active sound design in 2024 model. Is it the actual engine sound inside the car or its fake?
The engine sound is real, it’s not a hybrid or electric car
How do you use those roof rails? They don't have a pass through.
They work just like the roof rails on a Mercedes GLC or an X3. If only there was some sort of book that you could keep in the car that told you how to use all the features of the car....
@@blkfld7850 If a book is required to explain how to use their roof rails, then they designed it wrong.
What kind of lamborgini was it? Im pretty intrigued, because thats a rarity. 2 Italians side by side. Ykw what that means. Pizza and a drag race!
Not alfas first matte finish, that would be the nring matte metallic gray
it looks the same though how is it refreshed
theres a 2024 model of this exact one for sale for 41k online rn with 3k miles...value on these drop like a rock...geez
Are you kidding? Without the bmw x3 half the mechanics would be unemployed
should have shown is the LAMBO! the exterior looks super nice! too bad no 360 camera :/
The front is ugly imo
Wow they barely changed anything about the interior since it first came out.
What should they change?
@@hellkitty1014Well the screen doesn't take up the whole real estate for the size of it. That's been an issue since it came out. They could've made it bigger.
Me, being an Alfisti, I was supprised and frustrated they didnt change the infotainment. But turns out there was a reason for that - replacing the whole infotainment with a newer uconnect would require to go over the all certifications and safety tests again, separately for EU and NA. And that is rather costly process (we can safely assume it would have been reflected in the price)
It had a update already in 2020, they changed the interior.
Why change perfection
That black trim around the bottom was such a terrible descion, ruined the alfa as it no longer has a sporty look.
Anything is better than a bmw x3 there garbage. The stelvio is far superior than German plastic box
Your absolutely right
it looks x5 sized !
imagine trying to put a plate on the front of that vehicle .............ouch
Thats the only thing I don't like about these types of designs(also Audi, Genesis). The plate throws off the entire front end styling of the car.
Very true and this vehicles looks especially troublesome lol
Trust the Americans that's why the plate goes on the side
Its nice but still dated and behind in tech! Especially compared to Bmw!
But the BMW doesn't drive as nicely as this SUV.
I like the fact that it doesn't have a laptop for a dashboard. This is a driver's car, not a video game. The interior is somewhat retro looking with a little bit of tech.. If you need a laptop, stay home, and let the real drivers have the road.
No hp upgrade since 2016 alpha engineers cant get 10 more hp somewhere?
It has 280hp/306lbft of torque standard. The rest of the class has yet to catch up to that level of base engine power.
thats because its best in class in all categories even 7 years later.... it blows away AUDI, BMW and MERCEDEs... o and all the JAP SUVs
It's the same platform as the maserati grecale, therefore built in the same factory.
No...Maserati in Modena
Alfa in Turin
No only the mc20 in Modena
Quattroporte, levante, grancabrio in torino
Giulia stelvio grecale Cassino lazio region
Not built in the same factory. Google is your friend
That grille just doesn’t do it for me. BMW had a signature grille and look what they did. Guess nothing is set in concrete.
you need glasses... the Scudetto grill is the best front end in the industry...I will buy you a pair
E il biscione
I hate those shifters so much. Everything else looks simple and nice though.
Have you ever tried the paddle shifters? No, I didn't think so.
You make such a brilliant car and put in such a terrible infotainment system, just whyyy??!!😤
It's a driver's car. Who cares? I'll take great steering and suspension over infotainment any time, every time.
because real drivers dont play with a SCREEN
It's not For kids..
You’re right adults respect quality over toys
Now is peugeot so,i'd never buy one.
Love the brand, but their vehicle lineup are garbage. Except for the Giulia Quadrifoglio.
Crash test ratings, have they improved???
Last time I checked it was still a 5 star rating. You must be confused
How could they even improve? They're among the best.
My 23 alfa Romeo stelvio took on a tractor trailer at 60mph then bounced off the truck and hit a bridge and I walked away and so did my passengers. They are very safe cars.
I don't know about the Alfa Romeo stelvio it looks funny especially the grill I don't know why I might take a BMW I don't know about this car or Benz
BMW is a box on wheels.
It’s not refreshed enough.
Matching clothes. Ugh!
Looks like a Mazda
you really need Glasses LOL
the infotainment looks tiny and incredibly laggy
As an alfa owner, I can confirm this
well, the screen looks very laggy at 10:05.
It’s 2024, we should be allowed to ask for a good infotainment as well
Lol it’s jeep infotainment system they just too cheap to port over new variant of uconnect which even jeeps now have.
@@Jeez001This is Alfa-specific infotainment, produced by MagnetiMarelli. Completely unrelated to UC5.
@@hellkitty1014 To make it even worse FCA is widely known to have some of the fastest HMI around. How wrong can one person be?
oh look, a Dodge Hornet.
That’s the tonale chief
These are going to be nice $15,000 vehicles in a few years after the warranty runs out 😅
You can buy an extended warranty directly from Mopar without having to purchase extended warranty from dealership.
Do not buy an extended warranty from a third party, Alfa doesn’t honor those.
Find me a 2020 like that please
@@user-vk9ff9gr4x one in York, PA for 22k. It's a 2020 with 30k on it. They also have a 2019 with 38k miles for $18k
@@user-vk9ff9gr4x Google shows multiple low mileage 2020 models in my area for 20-22k. Many 2018s and 2019s in the teens.
You gotta be kidding me boo boo. Ain’t no way this car is as good as any Bimmer! I guess if a hot chocolate man wants to buy this for me he can but he’d have a better chance getting in my cakes if he got me a Bimmer or Benz!!!!!!
Have you seen the hot garbage that BMW is putting out??
@@hellkitty1014you obvi just jealous you can’t afford a Bimmer boo boo! Boy bye!!!
@@thebigone6071 they lease for $400 per month. Not that big of a deal.
@@hellkitty1014 Then my man should be able to get me one boo! You gotta pay to play it you want a taste of this donk! Sorry not sorry boo boo!!!
The Stellvio and the GIULIA blow any BIMMER and MERCEDES away... 7 years later the Germans still cannot figure out how to beat both vehicles on the NURBURGRING! its pretty funny watching Germans struggle with engineering and balance not to mention how to design a proper looking vehicle.. Have a great day BIGONE
Stelvio is Italian for the word Hornet and this is an overpriced DODGE if you peel it back far enough but love the reviews.
completely wrong. The engine was Ferrari based. The designer was from Ferrari
This vehicle has nothing to do with Dodge. Not one thing is shared with any Dodge product.
you gotta be American.. Alfas are not for Americans. go buy a DODGE
you're confusing the Stelvio with the Tonale - Dodge took the Tonale (they are both part of the Stellantis group), took it a bit downscale, and presented the Hornet.
@@edombre4637 This video is about the Stelvio, not the Tonale, and Dodge had nothing to do with the Giulia/Stelvio products (thank goodness). And Stelvio is, of course, a mountain pass in Italy, not Italian for Hornet.
Alfa Stelvio. .Great car❤❤❤
