Alfa Romeo has announced the prices of its first SUV, the Stelvio, to start at $41,995. A more equipped and fancier version called Stelvio Ti (Turismo Internazionale) is priced at $43,995. Both prices exclude $995 destination charges.
The Stelvio we’re talking about here is similar to the ‘First Edition‘ for the EMEA region we saw a few months ago. Both Stelvio and Stelvio Ti are powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, producing 280 hp and 415 Nm (306 lb-ft) of torque. Transmission is an 8-speed ZF automatic sending power to all four wheels via Q4 all-wheel-drive system. The Stelvio can sprint from 0-60 mph (96.5 km/h) in an estimated 5.4 seconds and has a top speed of 144 mph (232 km/h).
The Q4 AWD system, standard on all Stelvio models, can transfer as much as 60% of the power to the front wheels when required; in normal conditions, 100% is sent to the rear axle. Alfa says the Stelvio has a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, segment-leading torsional rigidity and the most direct steering ratio in the segment, all thanks to Stelvio’s Giorgio architecture (also shared with Giulia).
The standard Stelvio gets Alfa DNA drive mode selector, carbon fibre driveshaft which is claimed to be class-exclusive, dual exhaust with bright tips, 18-inch aluminum wheels (19- and 20-inch wheels available), leather seating, bi-xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lights and LED taillamps, backup camera with rear park sensors, remote start, passive entry with Keyless Go, power liftgate, and Formula One-inspired flat-bottom steering wheel with integrated push-button start. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available as options.
Sport Package at $1,800 adds 19-inch wheels, sport-tuned suspension, steering column-mounted aluminum paddle shifters, sport steering wheel, aluminum accents, gloss-black window trim surround, black roof rails, aluminum sport pedals and footrest, colored brake calipers and much more.
The Stelvio Ti adds even more premium content and convenience offerings, including standard 19-inch wheels, genuine wood interior accents, an 8.8-inch widescreen entertainment and information display, SiriusXM, front park sensors, heated steering wheel and heated front seats. There are two sub-packages, Ti Sport and Ti Lusso priced at $2,500 each.
Ti Sport adds 20-inch wheels, sport-tuned suspension, 12-way power sport leather seats including 4-way lumbar and power bolsters with thigh extenders, steering column-mounted aluminum paddle shifters, sport steering wheel, gloss-black window trim surround, black roof rails, aluminum sport pedals and footrest and colored brake calipers.
Ti Lusso (late availability) includes 19-inch wheels, Luxury Pieno Fiore Italian leather seats with Cannelloni inserts, 12-way power front seats including 4-way lumbar, leather-wrapped dash and upper door trim with accent stitching, genuine wood trim in dark gray oak or Lusso-exclusive light walnut, luxury steering wheel and aluminum pedals footrest.
Alfa says the more powerful Quadrifoglio‘s pricing and timing will be announced later this year.
