What a car! After spending a week with the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio in Italy, I was genuinely blown away by its ability, a comfortable and practical SUV one minute, a sports/super car the next! Aside from the brilliant BMW X3 M40i, SUV's don't normally excite me, It is no wonder this car holds the Nurburgring SUV lap record, it destroys A/B roads.
Thanks for the Car Alfa Romeo Italy, what a machine!

Careful Joe, you're getting a reputation for doing thorough, well reasoned reviews of nice machinery!. Everybody knows that TH-cam car channels must have an under-30's presenter who "owns" a supercar that he has five things he hates about it.
🤣🤣🤣 Hillarious but so true, I hate describing myself as a "youtuber" to people for that very reason 👌
the driving feel and great steering response is probably what alfa does best. and dare i say in terms of styling too?👀 this is much nicer looking than the x3, let’s be real
I’m finally buying an ‘18 QV in Trofeo White. 30k miles. I’ve never seen a better video than this one. Thank you so much! Love the Fam! 🤙🏽
Bought it? Reliable?
Best Stelvio QV review i've seen so far!
Great car and spec, just needed a pan roof!
i don't watch Joe because i think he's the best, i watch Joe for entertaining videos like this with a proper all round review of a car. He spends some time with it and then reviews it, not 2 hours in and has figured it all out. As much as some people CBA to watch a video when its half hour long, it goes quicker than it feels. Most other car videos of 10 minutes long feel longer and have padded content to make it that long, you don;t get that here. What you do get is passion, feedback and a real sense of what it is really like. Keep up the good work, Joe.
Thank you soooo much Bob! I really appreciate and love hearing stuff like this, it makes all my time and efforts worth while! My main aim is to try and share my experiences with you guys best as possible, reading this makes me feel like I have achieved just that! Thanks again and keep tuning in :-)
@@JoeAchilles1 You're more than welcome. Considering this is not your main income/focus, the content you create, the way it is edited & put together rivals that of much bigger channels. A bit Chris Harris esque, albeit with a smaller team!
Video of stelvio taking corners n the sound it made is really fantastic. It's so so much better than revving it stationary. Great work Joe
Great review of a great car. I own a Stelvio Quad with the sunroof, Sparco seats, Ceramic brakes. I can relate to every feeling and comment Joe makes. Truly "la meccanica delle emozioni"! Thank for the review!
Best car to have as a daily. Hands down. Cheers from a happy (and lucky) Stelvio Quadrifoglio driver from the Netherlands
Ha Mathijs, heb je 'm nog altijd?
Brilliant review Joe. German cars don't make, you smile ☺ that
Haha you might have a good point there, this car had a proper sense of Italian humour!
Such a clean and good review. Actually really appreciated the information you mentioned about the car - learnt quite something! Also glad to hear they got the seating position right in the SUV as well - it was spot on in the Giulia!
Really appreciate the shoutout at the end mate!
ps: you really picked up the fantastic sound of the V6!
I watch all of your videos I'm a big BMW fan and owner but I need an SUV and this is the one thank you so much!!
bloody hell this vehicle looks fast! ...love the wheels, always a nice touch for a manufacturer to have design clues to their sporting heritage. Great vid, Joe
Cheers man, yeah insanely fast car!
Brilliant review. No music, straight to the point and your enthusiasm for this car is genuine. Picking up a 19’ Nring edition up next week and driving it back to Texas with my son. Despite what some people have said about reliability, I’ve heard they’re quite solid and watching your review gives me confidence it will be a great experience.
Best review of the Stelvio Q.
Brilliant!
You made me want this car so badly!
Love the review Joe, and the ending with your families reaction topped it off nicely! Funny.
Haha Cheers Adam, we all had fun in that red rocket bus!
Partly thanks to your review, I went to test drive one in spite of not really liking SUVs. Consequently, I am now the owner of a Montecarlo Blue Stelvio Q...
Excellent video mate. Your mum looks terrified bless her when you are giving it the beans in the last part of the video!
Great review Joe!!!! Refreshing!! I've loved this car since it came out, still watching the reviews of it!
Thank you!
*fantastic video mate. Them drive by’s :) absolutely love love love this car! Gonna pin off the back of your suggested views when I release my vid on it Wednesday lol! Glad you got the one with ceramics. They stop you well. Handles amazing, so quick, epic car!*
Cheers buddy, yeah mega car, fastest point to point car i've driven in a long time, and £70k in the UK is a steal! Look forward to seeing yours on Wed
Brilliant review Joe, thanks, the best Giulia/Stelvio QV review out there. And it is also the only review I have seen where I feel that I get a good sense of what it actually sounds like.
Stelvio Alfarome beautiful car 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️
@6:20 😍 that's why! That's why I want this vehicle... How well it corners! And other reasons of coarse but damn.. It took that corner with confidence!
I am watching this video after the latest Giulia QV vid, I somehow missed this video, and as you pointed out it does have quite low views. It was busy for me at the time of uploading so I might have skipped it, but what an incredible review this was Joe! How about having this replace the 7 series and you just become a getaway driver with this thing ;) You can see how much effort went into this, really well made and nothing bad to point out.
Ahh thanks buddy really appreciate it man! Yeah I enjoyed shooting this one, proper roads and great weather... What a machine man! Cheers and have a nice weekend
Great review. Love your passion for this stelvio. You and Autofanatic would get along great 😁
Brilliant video once again Joe, just like you I love the Stelvio what a car and that exhaust amazing!! Would definitely have that in my SUV garage next to an X3 M40i!!!
Brilliant noise exhaust! Brilliant exterior and interior! Brilliant Alfa!
The look on the face of anyone driving a Stelvio (or even Giulia) Quadrifoglio is everything. I don't really like the exterior design but still I wish I owned one, since I believe driving experience is paramount
Awesome review as always!
Every time I watch a Joe review, I am left with wanting to buy that car.
So I gotta save up hard now, since I need to buy a M2 Comp + an Alfa Romeo Stelvio QF!
Hahaha thank you! That would be a mega two car garage :-)
Alfa Romeo Guilia and Stelvio in the Quadrifoglio form are THE BEST cars out there!! I know Joe you're a BMW man... but even you have to say the Guilia QV is better than the M3!
Brilliant guy, brilliant vids, needs more followers!
Joe, really enjoyed your enthusiasm. Must have been an awesome trip in through Italy. I've enjoyed my Alfa 4C for 2 years and swapping it out for the Stelvio QV.
Hows the M2 Comp order coming along?
Very good thanks
They ran out of "M" badges....they put them on everything you know.....
Great review one of the best I have seen on this car.
Great review. I bought one it is amazing
glad you linked this from your new Alfa vid, great content and love the reaction of your mom at the end, classic!
Great reveiw! Genuine feeling. Who cares about cupholders...?
More inmportant, fool the family on vacationtrips,... and then when on your own..😆
Enjoyed your passionate review and the family part at the end added some real life reality to it too. Personally, for such long video I'd prefer more research and hear more discussion on details like the engine and body engineering (that's a lot of carbon and aluminum design brilliance barely mentioned), transmission (why Alfa choose it over other options?), tire choice (I hear not that good in wet) and also infotainment system (pro's, con's comparisons)? Driving fast and saying 'brilliant' a lot is good for a few chosen scenes but not for 30mins.
I can't knock your appeal as a reviewer and the passion you deliver though, as that's what made me watch all the way through this. With your charm and a splash of Clarkson humour I'd be hooked!
I have to say after seeing this review I may consider this our new replacement and not the Big Cat SVR.,Nice review Joe
I fucking love your driving..... this is such a phenomenal review joe. God damn you are good. See you in Spain......
As always Joe, an awesome video.
Lovely, curious to see how the X3M will compare
It will have to be very, very good to compare to this in terms of driving dynamics, unbelievablemotor!
X 3 M....what a STUPID NAME !!!
It can't.
The Ace of Pace - Outstanding View Great Video!
Loved this review!
Love your reviews and a bit jealous of the places you visit!!!
Thank you! I count myself very lucky to drive all these lovely cars, try my best to share my experience with you all.
Considering buying one of these for compromise between practicality and performance, what's your thoughts on these now 2 years on having driven alot of vehicles since?
Great video Joe, best yet
Thank you :-)
I love the look of the dash design..how does it compare to aston dbx?
What a great noise. It sounds a bit like the old Alfa Romeo 155 DTM, also a V6.
Another great vid! 💪🏻👌🏻
Well done Joe.
Awesome Video Review Joe! Your Mom’s a Trooper, loved her reaction 😁
Great video Joe, very informative. having gone from a M4 competition to a x3 M40 for practicality I've been missing that something special... ive just ordered a Stelvio Quagrifoglio with the buckets and ceramics of the back of your great video
Ahh that is great to hear! Thanks for watching buddy, hopefully you will be as blown away by its ability as I was 🔥
Joe Achilles I’ll be sure to let you know soon!
Robert King How are you enjoying your Stelvio QF? I’m shopping cars but wondered about the unreliability I read about. Your thoughts?
Ann Gray-Trufant it’s a fantastic car, a whole lot more reliable than the new Range Rover Sport it replaced! It’s the perfect combo of comfort, performance and reliability. Even if it has done 4000 miles before needing rear tyres.. but that’s more my driving style! Joe is more than welcome to use it along with any of my other cars for TH-cam 👌
I'm very tempted to replace my 440i GC with the X3M in time, but this Stelvio QF keeps haunting me though... Nice matching jacket btw ;)
Fantastic Video mate!!!
Thank Steve!
Sounds epic, great in depth review
Really nice review! Awesome car!
Your brother likes your driving style,your mother is a little scared but trust her son and your father is....just terrified . Hahaha
Hahaha you hit the nail on the head 🤣👌
I believe it was one of the best videos on your channel. Isn't it weird, that it was not a BMW :)
Haha thanks man, see I do love other brands too!
Fantastic video .I love Stelvio Alfarome ❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻🍷🍷
Great review thanks Joe 😀
Hi Joe, loved this review. If you had to choose between this Stelvio Quad and new AMG 43 Coupe what would you pick? I know you did reviews on both. Appreciate the feedback.
I’m so pleased for a positive review from you as BMW petrolhead so I had to place order for one because Alfa has been always my heart felling against BMW 👍
Cheers and great to hear!
I have a Macan turbo that I love, I think its time for my first Alfa, great review thank you.
Great video as always Joe.
Thank you :-)
What a great video really I see your passion and what you're driving thank you
Excellent review. How do you feel this compares to a BMW X3 M40i?
Seems to be equal price on used market with more performance than m40i but obvious concerns of will it be reliable. 355hp vs 500hp is undeniably good deal.
great review, best driving jeep on the road in 2021 by a long way
Sounds great Joe
Amazing car!
"67" kph lol
Ish.... ;-)
@@JoeAchilles1 one thing disappointed me: you didn't bring the Stelvio QV on the Stelvio pass.
Besides that, driving at "67"ish on those roads looked awesome
Fantastic review! Im currently considering one of these or Cayenne GTS, what are your thoughts on the Stelvio depreciation? Theres a 69 plate with under 6k currently up at £46k, seems like a massive bargin! But is it going to be worth £25/30k in 2 yrs?! Really making me think long and hard about the Stelvio. Would love to hear your opinion.
Great review 👍
Sounds like your in love my friend 👌
Joe, what's your thoughts on why you don't see the performance model Alfa's on UK roads. It seems the ingredients are there but the majority of people will still go to a BMW M model , Merc AMG or Audi's S line cars. Are the Alfa's not as polished overall ? Dealer network ? I'm surprised we don't see more of them considering how jaw dropping they are to look at.
They think fiat and then think unreliable
Good question Razza, I think S Khalid has answered some of the reason, but also as you say, the overall package might not be up to the German standard, but the character and driving dynamics are better than the Germans... Also the dealer network isn't as good, but I would genuinely look at buying one of these if i needed a mid size SUV.
Happy Sunday!
For anyone who plays the Joe Achilles ‘Brilliant’ drinking game... best book a day off work tomorrow before watching!
This is true
You're a lucky dude Joe!
I really am 👌
Mate you should have been on top gear! love the review.
Thanks buddy, wishful thinking ;-)
the last bit was really funny
Great video Joe - which would you pick between this Stelvio QV and X3M comp?
The M40i review you did was not the same though. It was a freinds car and you didnt push anywhere near as much as the Alfa and you had it for like half a day and drove around City streets and tight Countryside. Get a X3 M40i from BMW for a week then compare the Stelvio against it. I personally looked at the difference and here in Australia the BMW won hands down. The difference in price was just way beyond being worth it and the BMW for me had around the same performance but better electronics and so much better value. I love the carbon options on the Stelvio and if you Compare this car against the X3 M which has the carbon and maybe similar pricing then the X3 M im certain will be miles in front.
liked the review so much I bought one!
Hey Joe,
Great review, you really make a good case.
In terms of real world single car garages, where does this sit for you?
Top 3? Top 5?
This guy seems like he has been banging some righteous Italian lines...excuse the pun
Great video Joe......listen gotta ask , i currently have an MY17 M3 Comp pack , i love the car but looking for something fast and AWD...how does it conpare to the M3 performance wise?
Cheers Phil! Good question... The fact you can lay down all Italian 500bhp all of the time makes this car very very fast in the real world, on a nice summers day on a smooth fresh bit of tarmac the M3 would be the quicker and sharper tool though. Definitely worth a test drive, but make sure you can spank it somewhere in Race mode ;-)
@@JoeAchilles1 will do buddy, cheers. Keep up the quality work mate , best car reviews barrrr none 👍👍
Without them carbon ceramic brakes do you reckon that the suv still can be pushed as hard??
Yeah for sure, the only time the ceramics would really benefit is if I did that charge 3 or 4 times over... The regular steel brakes are huge and massively powerful too
V v v good review. Subscribed
Thank you, glad you liked it 👌
Hey Joe, I'm looking to get myself an M2 soon, it's been my dream car since it's come out. People say forget about efficiency etc, but reality is, I do 60 mile round trip on motorway every day as commute, and if the car can give me at least 30 mpg during the week, I don't care if I get 20 when hooning over weekends. I know m240i can give me this- but I need those wide hips!! Brings me to the question - is 30mpg achievable if cruising at 60-70 in the M2?
You can do this just barely i think on 95 octane, and easily on 98 (I have the M2 with N55, duno how that would go on M2C). 98 Octane boost by 20 the efficiency on the M2 in my testing when driving around France. A full tank in Ireland (95 octane) gets me 450-500km and in france (98) i'm closer to 600-650 km even at 130km/h most of the time and AC on.
Hey Anirudh, Yeah 30mpg at 60-70mph is absolutely possible in the M2 or M2 Comp, I would say its about 10% less efficient than a M140/240, most of that is down to the lack of 8th gear (if you choose DCT), the manual option will always be another 10% less efficient on long runs due to the even shorter 6th gear. Cheers
@@thaalrasha Awesome - Yeah when I make the switch, it'll be the N55 - the sound is unreal, and prices are looking mighty fine nowadays with the release of the M2C :) 600km per tank on 98 octane?! Thats incredible given the relatively small tank - Shell V-Power exclusively it is!! In your experience, how has the cost of ownership been in terms of general maintenance (I'll be getting a 2016-2017 M2, so no running in service etc, will just be normal service costs, tires and brakes im assuming)
@@JoeAchilles1 Brilliant!! cheers for the reply - I would love to get the manual, except I'd probably never be able to bring myself to shift above 3rd gear!! Plus seeing as its gonna be my daily driver and will be doing around 16,000 miles a year at the least, (ended up doing 20k in my 420d this past year, oops) I think DCT is the way to go - especially if it lets me hit decent economy figures during the week.
anirudh srinath maintenance costs me 0 as I have the service pack. Now the rear tires need replacing (I do slide sometimes ;) ) and Michelin is not cheap
Fantastic review Joe, 'How is this possible?' !!!
Haha Cheers Paul!
ICE-BREAKER WOW 🇮🇹🏆💎👑🚘🚗🏎️
As Henry Ford said " When i see an Alfa Romeo go by , i tip my hat " .
Absolutely flying there! 😂
Fantastična reportaža
What about the 0-60 ? Is it achievable? Or bull?
amazing review👌👌 but i think paddle shifts are likely to annoy me because i'd like to downshift whilst cornering at certain times.. plus i think reaching for the indicator is lengthy & might take some time getting used to. I still think the Italians stripped the M3 & X3 M40i to come up with the range topping Giulia & Stelvio, as seemingly a close match. I'm highly anticipating upcoming X3m!
Damn. Now I want one as the family car….
Joe, how about the Audi RS QS3/5?
You tried to compare the Range Rover Sport SVR 0-60 in SVR = 4.3 sec weights in at 5039 lbs !!!
Stelvio Quadrifoglio 0 - 60 in Quad = 3.4 sec weights in at 4360 lbs !!!
and the Quad will cost you 47000 GBP LESS !!!!!
FORZA ALFA BABY !!!!
Lovely video!
This or the RS4 you’ve been testing recently?
Very good question... My head would go RS4, my heart would go Stelvio Q
Good answer!
Is this Stelio Quadrifolio reliable ????
