Alfa Romeo
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio (Type 949) is a luxury crossover SUV produced by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo since 2016. As a D-segment model it slots above the smaller Tonale model in the marque's SUV range. It was first revealed at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show and entered production at the Cassino Plant at the end of 2016. In 2018 it was Alfa Romeo's best-selling model, with roughly 43,000 sold that year.
In 2024, it had fallen behind the Tonale in the U.S. as sales dropped to just 3,162 from 12,043 in 2018. The Stelvio uses FCA's Giorgio platform, shared with the D-segment Giulia saloon. The name Stelvio derives from the Stelvio Pass, Italy's highest mountain pass, noted for its 48 circuitous switchbacks.

To read the Alfa Romeo Stelvio properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Chevrolet Chevrolet Bolt, the Ferrari Ferrari 488, the Chevrolet Chevrolet Camaro — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio reads like this: the record lists its engine as 2.0 L FCA Global Medium Engine / TBI-M T4 Multiair turbocharger / turbo Inline-four engine / I4 petrol engine / petrol / 2.9 L Alfa Romeo 690T engine / 690T twin turbo V6; kerb weight is recorded at 4037 lb 2.0 AWD / 4309 lb Quadrifoglio; drive goes through 8-speed automatic transmission / automatic (ZF 8HP transmission / ZF 8HP50) / 8-speed automatic (ZF 8HP transmission / ZF 8HP75, Quadrifoglio); the layout is Front-engine, all-wheel-drive/rear-wheel-drive (2.0 Turbo Petrol). Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within Alfa Romeo's own catalogue the Alfa Romeo Stelvio sits alongside the A.L.F.A 12 HP, the A.L.F.A 15 HP, the A.L.F.A 15-20 HP, the A.L.F.A 24 HP. The record names the sp = uk as its predecessor and the predecessor = as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Carmelo Giannone (Senior Exterior Designer), Centro Stile Alfa Romeo. Assembly is recorded at Italy: Piedimonte San Germano, Lazio (Cassino Plant).
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
The catalogue records what the Alfa Romeo Stelvio was; the ownership database records what it is like to own. MotorJury computes a verdict for every model year the United States federal record covers — complaints, recalls, real economy — refreshed nightly, with no opinions involved. If this car reached the American market, its verdicts are in there.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
