Alfa Romeo is in a new class with the Stelvio: the engine, hood, tailgate, fenders and doors are all made of aluminum to reduce weight.

As with the Giulia, the new model will initially be launched in the sportiest top version. The Stelvio Quadrifoglio's 2.9-liter V6 biturbo produces 510 hp and is based on Ferrari know-how. A 280 hp 2.0-liter petrol engine has already been announced. The Alfa Romeo Stelvio - the name refers to the Stelvio Pass in the Alps - is 4.68 meters long and 1.65 meters high. Power is transmitted by an 8-speed automatic transmission from ZF. The four drive programs "Dynamic", "Natural" and "Race" as well as "Advanced Efficiency" are available. The all-wheel drive is equipped with an electronically controlled rear axle differential. The Alfa Romeo Stelvio will be presented in Europe at the Geneva Motor Show 2017 (March 9 to 19 at Palexpo). The first vehicles in Switzerland will be equipped with a 2.0 turbo petrol engine with 280 hp. The Quadrifoglio version will be launched at the end of 2017. Prices have not yet been set.
