Alfa Romeo simplifies the Stelvio lineup for 2021 with Sprint, Ti, Ti Sport, and Quadrifoglio models. - Thecarconnection

Coming in with three trim configurations, the 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio gets many more standard features, especially for the top-of-the-line Ti Sport trim. Along with the three trims on offer, the most powerful and expensive 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio is also offered for sale at a base MSRP of $80,750 (which has been reviewed separately). The regular 2021 Stelvio retains the same 2L turbocharged inline-4 motor producing 280 hp and 306 lb-ft of torque, which is the same as the 2020 model. The exterior elements like LED headlights with LED DRLs, rear diffuser, active aero, massive 20" alloy wheels, and more exterior colors are also offered.

The interior of the 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio sees no changes from the outgoing 2020 model apart from the inclusion of the navigation and dual-pane sunroof as standard to the Ti and Ti Sport trim. Other interior features like an 8-speaker audio system, automatic climate control, heated and powered leather seats, heated steering wheels, etc are offered too. The interior can also be had in 5 different shades. When it comes to the driver-assistance features section, the 2021 Stelvio only comes with automated emergency braking as standard. All the other features like lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, etc can only be had if you opt for the Active Assist 1 Package.

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio comes in three trim configurations. Of the three, our pick would be the mid-tier Ti trim, which is available for a base MSRP of $47,400. This is also the most value-for-money trim of the three, mainly due to the inclusion of many standard features like an AWD drivetrain, 19" alloy wheels, heated and powered front seats, a heated steering wheel, 8.8" infotainment system with Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, and an 8-speaker audio system. You could also consider getting the Performance package, which adds adaptive suspension and a mechanical limited-slip rear differential for more precise handling.

The Stelvio is an SUV for people who love driving, with a strong and responsive engine, sporty transmission and engaging handling. - Edmunds

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio retains the same 2L turbocharged inline-4 motor that did the duty in the 2020 Stelvio. Available for a base MSRP of $41,750, this compact crossover luxury SUV manages to put out 280 hp and 306 lb-ft of torque. The transmission duties are handled by an 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission and the car can be had in both RWD as well as AWD drivetrains, depending on the trim you choose. This SUV also offers a maximum towing capacity of 3,000 lbs.

The Alfa Romeo Stelvio has always been known for its precise handling and excellent steering. The same continues with the 2021 iteration as well. The slightly stiff suspension on offer helps this compact SUV to corner flat with very minimal body roll and understeer. The steering is sharp, direct, and offers an excellent feel and feedback to the driver. Even when it comes to the ride quality, the 2021 Stelvio manages to impress us, both during the slow city speed and during highway riding. The vertical movement during high-speed riding is minimal as well. In comparison, the more powerful Stelvio Quadrifoglio offers even better handling.

The 2021 Alfa Rome Stelvio managed to do the 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds and the quarter-mile in 14 seconds. both of which are quite impressive for the compact crossover SUV segment. A top speed of 144 MPH can also be done by the 2021 Stelvio. The car can also do the 60-0 mph braking in 117 feet, which can be attributed to the 13" front rotors and 12.5" rear rotors, both of which are quite decent for the segment. However, the more powerful 2021 Stelvio Quadrifoglio, which is available for a base MSRP of $80,750, comes with a 0-60 mph time of 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 176 mph. The 60-0 mph braking distance of 108 feet is also better.

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is the most powerful offering of the segment, which is followed by the 2021 Audi Q5 and the 2021 Porsche Macan. The 2021 X3 also gave out a lower 248 hp in comparison to the 2021 Stelvio. Even when it comes to the 0-60 mph times, the 2021 Stelvio edges ahead with a time of 5.4 seconds. The 2021 Q5 did it in 5.8 seconds. However, both the 2021 Porsche Macan and the 2021 BMW X3 did the 0-60 mph in a slightly higher 6.3 seconds and 6.7 seconds, respectively.

Although the Stelvio's real-world fuel economy and highway range are unremarkable, but they align with four-cylinder competitors. - Caranddriver

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio, which comes in three trim configurations, offers a combined gas mileage of 25 MPG. This compact luxury crossover SUV can also do 22 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. If you opt for the AWD trims on offer, the 2021 Stelvio offers a slightly lower combined gas mileage of 24 MPG, with 22 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway.

With a fuel tank capacity of 16.9 gallons, the 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio offers 371.6 miles of city range and 490.1 miles of highway range. The car can do 422.5 miles of combined range as well. The tank range from the trims with the AWD drivetrains would be slightly lower due to the 1 MPG difference in comparison to the 2021 Stelvio Sprint RWD trim. The more powerful 2021 Stelvio Quadrifoglio offers a much lower 19 MPG of combined gas mileage.

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio's 25 MPG of combined gas mileage is quite decent for the segment. However, the 2021 BMW X3 trumps in the fuel efficiency front, returning a combined gas mileage of 27 MPG. It also gave out the best in class range as well. Both the 2021 Audi Q5 and the 2021 Porsche Macan offered a lower combined gas mileage of 24 MPG and 21 MPG, respectively.

The cabin lacks the space of most rivals, with short rear-seat leg room and a smallish, but still useful cargo hold. - Thecarconnection

Alfa Romeo's Italian flair has also been taken to the interior of this compact crossover luxury SUV. Offered with a standard full black interior with aluminum and leather inserts, the 2021 Stelvio looks quite elegant. It also stands out from the contemporary German design of the rivals too. The Stelvio can also be had in four other interior colors, all of which look excellent. However, when it comes to the interior quality, it is not as good as the Germans. There are quite a bit of hard plastics too. Available for a base MSRP of $41,750, the 2021 Stelvio is a 5-seater SUV. However, the front-row headroom, legroom, and shoulder room turned out to be quite mediocre.

The rear row also tells the same story as the front row. The headroom and shoulder room of 38.8" and 56" are lower than the rivals. Even the legroom is mediocre too and hence this is not a comfortable place for three passengers to sit. The tall Americans are also not welcome to the rear row. Even the cargo capacity of 18.5 cu ft which is on offer from this compact luxury SUV is quite subpar. However, the leather upholstery coupled with seats that provide decent under-thigh and lower back support is quite good. The front row occupants would also like the sport seats with excellent side bolstering.

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio turned out to be the worst offering of the segment when it comes to the interior and cargo space. The 2021 Q5 offered the best in class front and rear row space. Even the 2021 X3 also offered a much superior interior space in comparison to the 2021 Stelvio. However, the 2021 Macan's interior space hasn't been revealed yet. When it comes to cargo capacity, the 2021 X3 topped the chart, which is followed by the 2021 Q5. The 2021 Stelvio's 18.5 cu ft of cargo capacity is the second-worst of the lot, after the 2021 Macan's 17.6 cu ft. The entertainment duties of the Stelvio are handled by the 8.8" touchscreen infotainment and an 8-speaker audio system.

This touchscreen infotainment system turned out to be quite intuitive to use, with minimal lags and stutters, excellent touch sensitivity, and decent display quality. We also liked the multiple inputs that are possible with this system. The 2021 Stelvio also offers many connectivity features as standard like the Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity, USB, AUX, and many more too. The audio output through the 8-speaker standard audio system is quite good as well. However, if you are an audiophile, we would recommend you to get the optional 10-speaker audio system. Some of the interior and infotainment features on offer are:

• Leather upholstery
• Heated and powered seats
• Sunroof
• 8.8" touchscreen infotainment system
• Android Auto
• Apple CarPlay
• SiriusXM radio
• Navigation
• 8-speaker audio system
• Automatic climate control system

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio’a curvy figure makes it one of the most attractive SUVs available today. - Thecarconnection

The 2021 Alfa Rome Stelvio retains the same exterior design as the outgoing 2020 model. Coming in for a base MSRP of $41,750, the 2021 Stelvio is easily one of the best-looking SUVs around. The front view of this compact crossover luxury SUV retains the quintessential Alfa Rome's triangular grille, large air dams, and active aero vents. We also loved the all-LED automatic headlights with LED DRLs, muscular hood, and the wide 255/45R20 All-Season tires that are offered with the top-of-the-line Ti Sport trim. The width of 74.9" makes the 2021 Stelvio quite imposing to look at, especially when viewed from the front.

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio's side view gets the classy-looking 20" alloy wheels, fender flares, and blacked-out pillars. The multiple character lines also add the Italian flair to this beautiful-looking SUV. The rearview offers all-LED taillights, dual exhaust, a silver rear diffuser, and an integrated roof spoiler. Overall the 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio definitely stands out from the German rivals when it comes to the exterior design language. It also follows the true DNA of all the yesteryear Alfa Rome monikers, especially due to the beautiful looking blacked-out triangular grille and exquisite alloy wheel design, both of which have been taken from the 2021 Gulia. 

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is not the largest compact SUV, especially in comparison to the 2021 BMW X3, which offered the best in class length and wheelbase. The 2021 Porsche Macan also turned out to be superior in terms of dimensions. It is the heaviest of the segment as well. However, the 2021 Audi Q5 offered a lower height, length, and width in comparison to the 2021 Stelvio. Some of the exterior features on offer with the 2021 Alfa Rome Stelvio has been mentioned below:

• Heated and powered side mirrors
• Dual-pane sunroof
• 11 exterior colors
• Automatic LED headlights with LED DRLs
• LED taillights
• integrated roof spoiler
• Automatic rain-sensing wipers
• 20" alloy wheels

A good adaptive cruise system and high-quality stereo aside, it's clear that technology isn't the Stelvio's focus. - Edmunds

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio, which is available for a base selling price of $41,750, has not been evaluated by either the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) yet. Even the outgoing 2020 model has also not been crash-tested by both the coveted organizations. However, with the impressive build quality on offer, we are pretty sure that this moniker would come out on top in terms of crash safety.

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio also offers many safety and driver-assistance features like front and rear parking sensors, TPMS, airbags, ABS with driveline traction control, automated emergency braking, and many more as standard. However, most of the driver-assistance features like the lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, etc can only be had if you opt for the Active Assist 1 Package, which is available for a base MSRP of $595. Some of the safety features on offer are:

• Lane-keeping assist
• Full-speed forward collision warning plus
• Automated emergency braking
• LED DRLs
• Adaptive cruise control
• Lane departure warning
• Airbags
• Blind-spot monitoring
• Cross-path detection

2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vs. 2021 Audi Q5

Available for a base MSRP of $43,300, the 2021 Audi Q5 comes with a much superior interior, with better quality, features, and cargo capacity. The infotainment system is also more intuitive than on the 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio. However, the 2021 Q5 is not as dynamically capable as the 2021 Stelvio, which makes it less fun to drive. The steering feel and feedback are mediocre too. Apart from that, the base powertrain on offer from the 2021 Q5 is nowhere as impressive as the 2L turbocharged inline-4 motor in the 2021 Stelvio.

2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vs. 2021 BMW X3

The 2021 BMW X3 is quite an impressive proposition in the compact luxury crossover SUV segment. Available for sale at a base MSRP of $43,000, the 2021 X3 offers better interior space, gas mileage, and offers more safety and driver-assistance features too. Along with that, it also offers the best in class cargo capacity of the lot. However, the 2021 X3 doesn't stand out, especially on the design front, which Stelvio manages to do. The 2021 Stelvio is also a tad bit more fun to drive. The performance from the 2021 Stelvio is better too, which helps it to give out the best in class 0-60 mph and quarter-mile times.

2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vs. 2021 Porsche Macan

The 2021 Porsche Macan is the most expensive offering of the segment, coming in at a base MSRP of $52,100. It is also quite fun to drive, offers better interior quality, and comes with many customization options too. However, the performance of the motor is not as impressive as the 2021 Stelvio. The acceleration times posted by the moniker are higher than the Stelvio too. Apart from that, the 2021 Macan is about $11,000 more expensive than the 2021 Stelvio, making it the least value for money offering of the segment.

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a compact crossover luxury SUV that seriously makes the German rivals feel less impressive. Coming in for a base selling price of $41,750, it is more powerful, offers a much superior acceleration figure, and is also the most fun to drive offering of the segment. It is the best-looking offering of the segment too. However, one of the major downfalls of the 2021 Stelvio is the mediocre interior space and quality on offer. Along with that, many of the driver-assistance features are offered with an additional package that costs an MSRP of $595. So, if you are alright with these issues, the 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio should be a definite contender, if you are in search of a capable luxury crossover SUV.
