Alfa Romeo Stelvio

Alfa Romeo is nothing if not passionate, and among small luxury SUVs, the 2022 Stelvio is one of the most adept at kindling your driving spirit. Rewarding driving dynamics are baked into every version of the Stelvio, which wears a distinctive look that sets it further apart from its rivals. Whether you see it or hear it before driving it, you know the Stelvio is different. And when you get behind the wheel, this Alfa Romeo's primary purpose is obvious. It exists to give you a thrill, especially in downright riotous Quadrifoglio specification.

There are penalties to be paid for the Stelvio's exciting driving dynamics and dapper Italian design. The cargo area is relatively small, though this is a matter of perspective. Compared to SUVs with pronounced coupe-like styling, the Stelvio suffers no utility penalty. It also doesn't look particularly luxurious from the driver's seat, a function of its driver-focused purpose. Some competitors also offer more sophisticated technologies. But if you're a driving enthusiast with a strong sense of individualism and you'd rather not own the same compact luxury SUV everyone else does, the 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is sure to please.
