Alfa Romeo, a premium Italian car brand, returned to the U.S. market in 2008 after a 13-year absence, initially featuring sporty cars.
But the brand’s U.S. offerings now include the Stelvio five-passenger midsize crossover, which was added for model year 2018.
The Stelvio has the signature Alfa V-shaped mesh grille also found on the 4C sports car and the Giulia sedan. Stelvio is named after the highest mountain pass in Italy, which rises to 9,000 feet.
Four trim levels are offered for the 2022 model year, the Sprint ($45,550, plus $1,595 freight; or $46,575 for 2023), Ti ($51,160; or $52,185 for 2023), Veloce ($52,300; or $53,325 for 2023), and the ultra-luxury Quadrifoglio ($86,850; or $88,175 for 2023).
For 2023, the new Estrema model ($59,825) has joined the lineup just above the Veloce.

Updates for 2022 included new standard advanced driver-assistance technology, as well as safety and convenience features across all trim levels, the manufacturer says.
“Born from the world’s greatest driving road, the Stelvio Pass, the 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio delivers performance, design and technology in an SUV that could only come from Italy,” the company notes.
These vehicles are “crafted by Alfa Romeo artisans at the Cassino plant in Italy,” and are “infused with Italian passion, craftsmanship and innovation,” the description continues.
Stelvio Sprint, Ti and Veloce models come with the same turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine used in the Alfa Giulia sedan, with 280 horsepower and 306…
It is now “upscale and fashionable.”
