The Alfa Romeo Stelvio crossover promises to combine the passion of the Alfa Romeo Giulia with everyday practicality. But sometimes promises remain promises - and instead of "two in one" we actually get "neither fish nor fowl." What will Alfa Romeo Stelvio offer in the end? Will this car be a revelation? Or a failure? Let's figure it out together.
Message from the editor: Our defenders from the 3rd separate UDA battalion, who are in the Zaporozhye region, need things to resist the enemy: quadrocopters and smartphones to control them, night vision sights. Details for transferring funds to a monobank card - Katerina Kolonovich, card number 5375411505235312. Please join the fundraising. Glory to Ukraine!
Alfa Romeo went to this for a long time, but reached: Stelvio is the brand's first crossover. Of course, in the past, one can recall the Alfa Romeo Kamal concept alfa romeo for car or the “intermediate link” Alfa Romeo 156 Crosswagon. Or even remember the Alfa Romeo 1900M Matta SUV. But if we talk about a car that was originally created as a premium mid-range crossover, then here it is - Alfa Romeo Stelvio.
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio crossover debuted at the end of 2016, sales started in 2017. And initially, Alfa Romeo Stelvio appeared in the most "charged" version of the Quadrifoglio: with a 510 hp V6 turbo engine, a sports lounge, huge brakes and discs. During 2017, more affordable versions appeared with 4-cylinder petrol (2.0 l) and diesel (2.2 l) turbo engines. There are no direct predecessors, indirect ones are the concept of Alfa Romeo Kamal and Alfa Romeo 156 Crosswagon.
The article presents the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Q4 with a 2-liter 280 hp petrol engine. Briefly, a similar version will be presented, but in a different configuration.
Rides great! Unexpectedly, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio crossover managed to combine fun drive and good comfort. The engine pulls even at relatively low speeds (about 2-2.5 thousand), begins to really reveal its power at 3-4 thousand, easily and naturally accelerating the car. And then - the motor “gets out” without problems up to 5-6 thousand, fully working out the declared 280 “horses”. Each press of the gas pedal is a command that passes at the level of electrons from the driver's brain to the motor control brain: pressed - received, no delays, understandable and linear reaction. And the engine sounds great: a noble roar comes into the cabin after 3-3.5 thousand revolutions, filled with strength and purity with further crankshaft promotion. By the way, it is thanks to this roar that you clearly understand that the rest of the car is quite quiet: there is a little noise from the wheels and the cut air.
Steering is another reason to rejoice. Fantastically clean and sharp (2.2 turns lock to lock) steering wheel. The slightest movement of the hand is a rebuilding in rows. Deviation a little stronger - this is a turn. Do you want to trust in a turn? “Come on, I’m all for it! And here you can drift lightly here on the snow!” Frankly, so “sociable” and “live” crossovers are rare. And the more valuable this product and this character.
Crossover Alfa Romeo Stelvio only outwardly looks gray and gloomy. In fact, this is the best friend and partner for a person who is a “driver”, not a “driver”. A cheerful, positive, always lively character is the merit of a pulling turbo engine, a fast “automatic” in switching, and a sharp steering wheel. The signature Alfa DNA selector with three fixed positions clearly changes the character of the car: “n” (normal) is just a pleasantly dynamic car for every day, “d” (dynamic) is a heavier steering wheel and almost always more than 3 thousand rpm on tachometer, "a" (all weather) - stretched "rubber" reactions to pressing the accelerator pedal and switching up to 2 thousand rpm. Moreover, this is the case when each of the modes is clearly different from the others and can be useful in life. Just like that: Q4 and snow are fun.
Finally, comfort! No matter how strange it may sound for Alfa Romeo, but if we are talking about Ukrainian roads, then a comfortable suspension is seen as a boon. And here it is: the car swallows small things and large pits well, the energy intensity is enough for any speed bumps and bumpy road waves. Softness in motion is a merit not only of the chassis, but also of thick tires. Which, finally, you are not afraid to break on broken roads. As well as you are not afraid to cut o
