I have a 2020 Alfa stelvio in Missano blue with Nero pack and yellow brakes. Best decision I could have made. I am shocked how reliable the car has been. I was expecting poor reliability and was willing to put up with it because it was an Alfa, but so far they are proving me wrong. Yes it’s an expensive car but compared to the competition (looking at you Porsche Macan), it’s a bargain for what you get. I’m in love and can’t wait to get into a stelvio quadrifoglio when I save up down the road. It’s just sad that people won’t take the risk with this car and continue to get Porsche, bmw, Audi, Mercedes when those brands have the same if not worse reliability.

You killed it for me with the reliability joke on Alfa. Why are you quoting decades old crap? Your speaking to a big audience you can’t say that without knowing the facts, telling us what goes wrong with alfas, and where did you hear it from? You didn’t mention any just a reliability joke that gullible people will take as gospel. Good cool.

I own a 2019 stelvio ti sport with every option. Including ny favorite thing - leather dashboard. The quality is not the best even far from it, but this is absolutely the best driving vehicle for sale on the market today I can’t even think of a fair competitor. It’s quiet so I added a custom exhaust and that engine sounds soooo good. And boy is it quick

Alfa Romeo forever. So much character.

Simple solution to anyone’s purchase dilemma. Take an Alfa Ti Sport for a test drive and let your heart and emotions decide. 😊🚘 💨

Both superbly engineered cars but the Alfa has the edge on looks, panache, and feel-good factor.

the stelvio is so beautiful, the x3 is a good car but it hasn't the personality of the alfa, when u drive a stelvio everybody look at u

Alfa all day long. It’s a work of art on wheels, whereas the BMW blends in more with the rest. The driving dynamics of the Stelvio is bar none as well, and yes I have driven them.

We would buy another Alfa cause of the looks ,performance and we don’t care about back seat space .... very unique , everyone buys bmw because they feel safe and reliability with it . I have an Alfa and it’s great . 4 years and 50 warranty. Great service !

Another slightly biased review and here's why: - If you add the "M" package to the X3, the price are not similar. - I kept hearing the Stelvio is a smaller SUV. But the truth is that on the outside, both have similar dimensions (the BMW is 2,1 cm longer, the Alfa is 1,2cm wider). I guess the italian design of the Stelvio helps hiding its dimensions. I've seen this mistake many times. - I don't know how you measure boot space over there. In Europe, the Stelvio has 525Lts of boot space against BMWs 550Lts. Is 4% enough to make that difference? All the mentioning of space is nonsense. - To keep calling small SUV to the Stelvio, the reviewer should do the same with it's similar size competitors like the BMW X3, Audi Q5, Merc GLC, Volvo XC60, etc. - The fail moment with the lift gate, is because Stelvio's sensor is in the center of the car and then the car waits for us to step back. If you don't step back, it doesn't open. - I kept hearing we can also get more sporty features in the BMW (M package). But then it should also have been mentioned that we can also have more luxury on the Alfa Romeo as well if you go for the lusso interiors with wood finishing. Here's an example of the Lusso interior: i.pinimg.com/originals/10/2e/0d/102e0d516925b4679848cdc4c9418e15.jpg - The Stelvio also offers wireless charging. - "We know they're not the most reliable cars, that's for sure." That's not factual information, that's ear saying and that's only the general opinion, but it's not true. If anyone wants to know about true reliability figures in the car industry, try to get your hands into fleet maintenance costs and downtime data from car leasing companies. I promise, many would be surprised. - For a interior noise comparison, both cars should have been measured in the highway at a constant speed in a high gear. It's the aerodynamic noise that counts. An Alfa Romeo driver typically prefers to hear a bit more from the engine. I agree that the infotainment on the BMW is superior.

I totally agree with your comment. Another note is that also Alfa can move the apps around on the screen. Vocal control is not great I agree, but if I push the button to activate it I might as well push the button the triggers the desired function, in my opinion. The final verdict favors the Alfa, however I didn’t see the right emphasis on the mechanical features. It does have a better engine, but what about suspension? What about carbon transmission shaft? What about all aluminum body panel ? What about the razor sharp steering? All these features cost way more than a questionable infotainment system and are responsible for the much better driving experience. I heard no mention of this. Reliability: maybe it helps to remind that in the UK they found Giulia and Stelvio”s reliability better than most German makes. And also here on KZread I read hundreds of comments from owners of these cars that are more than happy in this side. Personally I had two Stelvio as company cars. First one was MY2019, the current is a MY2020 Veloce. Both Diesel. No reliability issues, apart from the first one being a bit choosy with the ADBlue (needed for the diesel to be compliant with latest regulation). The newer one had no issues at all. In the company there are 4 Stelvio and none had issues while the wiser colleagues who went for more reliable German cars had small or big issues that required servicing. As a final note, I had to drive a BMW X2 for a few months while I was waiting for the new Stelvio, delayed by the Covid. Even though I’m well aware it’s a different platform, I didn’t find all these qualities people go on talking about. I even had a serious failure to the braking system that required immediate service. The Bluetooth would disconnect at least once every two days and required removing and new pairing of my iPhone. The driver”s sun visor doesn’t have a light. The automatic gear was lazy at downshifting..... So all in all not a bad car but nothing so great. I couldn’t wait to drive may Stelvio again. It’s fun, comfortable, safe and reliable with a great build quality. A customer of mine who drives an M4 said a great phrase: “great car! If it had a BMW badge on it, competitors wouldn’t sell any more SUV”. In my opinion this says it all.....

I've always liked Alfa Romeo as a car full of style and high performance, with this SUV they hit the mark with my tastes, hearing the (real) exhausts in the green Quadrifoglio model is a sensory experience.

I agree with you, the Stelvio is the better SUV. If more people drove them and knew about cars the way you do, they'd reach the same conclusion. I have owned 2 Giulia's since 2017 and now own a Stelvio. I have had zero problems with any of the 3 Alfa's. The 2.0 engine with 280 bhp is plenty quick and the handling is superb. Great review, the X3 is a great SUV as well, but the Alfa is better.

Alfa forever!!!!

Alfa is 'organic' in appearance. BMW, Audi, M-B are boxier and not visually appealing at all. I recently tested an Audi, almost bought it, happy I did not. I was overwhelmed by the computer screen. Ordered the Alfa, loaded, happy I did. The Alfa's a driver's machine, and not a platform for screens, readouts etc..02

Brilliant cars the Giulia and Stelvio

just wanted to point out how much Sam smiles while in the Stelvio. A nice car It's all about this, putting a smile in your face and that comes from the feeling you get while driving it, not from the size of the screen which is only exciting when you see the car at the dealership. Great review though!

Respect to fca, the stelvio is beautiful to drive

I went from a brand new 2016 x5 to a 2019 stelvio sport. Granted as far as interior the stelvio is smaller trunk space and a little less rear seat clearance. But the rear seat clearance is not bad. I'm 6 feet 1 inch and I can fit fine in the stelvio rear seat without the front passenger having to move his seat uncomfortably forward. I think the biggest difference is trunk space. Unless you are going to use it for road trips and your family is more than 3 people, I don't think you will notice the space difference. AS far as driving I think the stelvio drives better than the bmw. BMW you can get fatter wheels, which I wish the stelvio would offer the fatter wheels of the quadrafolio as an option for the regular model. I think it would handle better, but as it is it has great handling. Front seat space is equal to what you would get from an x5, for it being a smaller car, it doesnt feel that way when you sit in it.

In my opinion there’s also another reason. Germans made in the past decades really good cars and now they live on that reputation. FCA and Alfa in particular used to be terrible on this (not the engine, usually really good, but the overall quality) and now most people still think the new Alfa are the same. Nothing so wrong. Unfortunately, nowadays any piece of crap that says made in Germany sells with no problem. If it’s made in Italy then it has to prove twice it’s better or at least at the same level. An example outside of automotive ? I have two induction cooktops in my house. One from ikea, made in Italy (probably whirlpool). Ome is Bosch made in almighty Germany. Two years use on both. The Bosch is fried, the other still running flawlessly ......

How can someone choose the BMW? Just look at both, inside and outside!

Just traded my 2014 X5 for a 2023 Stelvio Veloce & I’m thrilled by the belated decision! X3, Q5, Mecan are all so dull, whereas the Alfa is a sleeper & so fun to drive. And it’s cheaper & rarer too. Get one, you won’t be disappointed!

Alfa forever!

None of the others in the class look anywhere close to as good as the Alfa Romeo.

I drive an X5. My wife bought a 2022 Stelvio. I use the Stelvio more and more the days she has no plan to leave the house.

One is a C8 Z51 set up to race and a vintage De Tomaso Pantera also race prepared and both have been raced...the Pantera for more then 25 years. While the C8 is perfect in every way it is The Pantera that I really look forward to drive or race anywhere. The Alfa like the Pantera is not perfect by a long shot but it is the soul of the Alfa like the Pantera that I love. I agree the BMW is a more practical luxury family car but if you are a motorhead you want the Alfa.

When Alfa first came back to the states I was super excited and the cars look great too. Unfortunately, I chose something else on 2 different car buying occasions(Audi and a Porsche). Sure they make a great base X3/Q5/GLC competitor and a great 3-series/A4/C-Class competitor. They even have the Quadrifoglio to hang with the X3M , GLC63, Jag SVR etc. But not everyone needs to daily 500hp. Alfa has no competitor car for the M-lite, AMG-lite, Audi S segments.

You are funny, first you hate me, you thought I was paid by the BMW dealership and then you watched the entire video, and I picked the Alfa, you approve of it. Now who is biased!

В России популярно BMW,, их больше, чем в Германии, а Альфа-ромео опасаются ввиду плохой репутации из-за надежности. Лично я, когда был водителем эвакуатора, забирал Альфу с пробегом 3 тыс.км от Госдумы. А сейчас и салонов таких нет давно.

Regarding the voice control, I have learned that one should say "Navigation" first before asking for an address or something.

Love the Alfa. Digital cluster is overrated (drives S5 and MB C43 with them). In future the analog gauges will be more desirable.

Well said. That's why I chose my GTI with analogue dials. Problem with digital clusters is that in 2-3 years they will look dated as the technology progresses. Analogue will stay analogue

You should drag test a Stelvio against the X3 and Q5.

I’ve driven the new X3 x301AWD, for a little over a year, hands-down the best decision I’ve ever made. Much more fun to drive than any other sport utility crossover in its class. Bank vault quiet, powerful, and no turbo lag or engine noise. Every button is precisely where it supposed to be, everything is thought out, down to the tiniest detail. It is the Swiss watch of automobiles. And did I mention how much fun it is to drive? For an SUVs (which have taller greenhouses in general, and Bimmer tends to make theirs taller than most for comfort), very little body sway. What I do, is I get the most loaded X3 that I can get, snuggling right up underneath M class, but stop short of buying the actual M class. M classes are great but they do two things, they up your insurance costs, and BMW charges an arm and a leg for basically two more cylinders, slightly better suspension, and slightly bigger brake rotors and calipers. So unless you’re a super gearhead, save your money.

What kind of stereo system does the stelvio have?

I've had two Alfa Romeos, bought new. One was great, the other was appalling - never again. Things will change under Stellantis ownership I'm sure, and it needs to.

Should do the msport x3 vs. Tisport stelvio

Why is that ? So that the BMW can have a 6 cylinder vs the Alfa's 4 ? Why not test your beloved msport x3 (what kind of name is that?) to a Stelvio Quad ? 6 cylinder vs 6 cylinder ? I know why....Your over rated BMW will get SLAUGHTERED !!!!

@@dinopappous6639 Ye I’ve actually cross shopped both, since I have loyalty discount for both brands, and they are roughly the same price fully specked out. The msport pack is just suspension and looks just like the ti sport

They cost the same so not sure why a fairer comparison would require the BMW to have the expensive M Sport upgrade?

@@SamCarLegion but it’s just naming.. what’s important is what you get for the price. For similar or even a little lower price, if driving is your priority Alfa is much better... if you want luxury and infotainment gimics the bmw has the lead... but if you add the looks of the Alfa, it easily addictive car.

@@svenvet8497 you make a good point, agree. But some will attack me for this, so I thought to clarify it.

This is not a valid comparison. In the US we lease and leasing the Alfa is much cheaper. Alfas here are thought to be a sub par quality car. A new BMW is luxury item while an Alfa is just a low quality car. I am thinking of leasing one when I am in the US because I love them and own a few in Europe but they need to fix their image in the US. For someone to buy a Stelvio, it has to be around $400 while BMW can be $600 and still be fine.

Someone told them that BMWs are reliable and they keep repeating that lol All I am saying is that that's what the perception is and it won't change easily. If a BMW breaks down it's ok but if an Alfa breaks down its because of the low quality.

no package with 360 camera for Alfa :-(

In my opinion is Alfa Romeo Stelvio beeter than BMW X3.😃😃

All bmw voice commands did not work ...

I wish the Stelvio was more on par with the X5. Everytime I see an X3 I think, oh it’s not an X5. Lol. So I’m getting the Guilia because I think the 330i gets more respect than an X3!

X3 very well selling car in US try to sell Alfa later because it’s already dated with all technology, sounds like Fiat, BMW always show lower horsepower but in real life it’s more horsepower if you don’t like four-cylinder, can buy six cylinder it’s much more faster than Alfa , 40 Miles an hour test and you telling us it’s a sportier car, you need to drive a highway and see how it feels how stable and predictable the BMW compare to Alfa Romeo because it’s made for Autobahn

Differences , it depends on the optional things …!!

And how much more money did the BMW cost than the Alfa (and the BMW wasn't the "sporty" version)?
