There are many luxury SUVs on the market but none stand out quite like the 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio. However, Italian cars have a stereotype of being unreliable lemons. While that may be true for cars made in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, does that stereotype still hold true today? Or is this Alfa Romeo just as reliable, and as good, as its German rivals?

Like almost all other luxury SUVs, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. There is an option twin-turbocharged V6 with over 500 hp which is derived from a Ferrari V8 but most trim levels of the Stelvio have the 2.0L engine. It produces a healthy 280 hp and 306 lb-ft of torque (209 kW & 415 Nm). Alfa Romeo claims a 0-60 mph (96 km/h) time of 5.5 seconds. This engine has a hint of turbo lag but it has a broad power band and it pulls without any fuss.

For an SUV that weighs 1,817 kg (4,007 lbs) with an engine that is more powerful than the base engine in the German rivals, the fuel economy of this 2023 Stelvio is not too bad. It is officially rated at 10.8 L/100km (21.8 MPG) in a city and 8.3 L/100km (28.3 MPG) on a highway. With mostly city driving, I averaged 10.3 L/100km (22.8 MPG) during my time with the SUV.

The 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is quite a bit more expensive than its German or Japanese, or even American luxury crossover rivals. The 2023 Stelvio Sprint starts at $60,190 CAD / $48,170 USD, RWD (including destination) while this new Estrema trim starts at $71,490 CAD / $60,920 USD (including destination).
