25.9 mpg is decent for a such a big car and with that kind of performance on tap. I have the Giulia Quad and in town i get an average of 24mpg driving in D or Race mode and 40mpg on the motorway thanks to cylinder deactivation.

mate you're complaining about getting 12liters / 100k in London from 510bhp SUV, diesiel SQ5 ain't much better. This engine doesn't have timing belt, you're quoted for AUX belt which takes a day of work to replace, shop around and specialist might be able to change it without removal of front bumper and radiator... This car is brilliant I take family for a holiday, go to work and hammer it down on alpine passes whenever i like, and it takes it without any complain after 4 years, 60k miles and 6 sets of expensive tires :]

nah, you need to remove a lot of stuff to change the belt on the stelvio qv, thats include the front, headlights, radiator, intercoolers a lot of hoses and pipes and so on.

Haven’t tuned in for a while mate and your videos are soooooo good now. Not saying it was bad before but so much better than before.

Is your stelvio lowered? Also can you give me a link to the exact wrap you used. I think it will look perfect on the f pace svr!

I have a 2019 stelvio qv and get about 16mpg, always in race mode! Im happy to pay for the fuel and service costs.

How did you find a Verde Stelvio Quad ? That color was NEVER offered on the Stelvio Quad in the US

Had mine now for 2 years, bought the Stelvio new and took out the service plan for 3 years or 27000 miles, however the company I bought if from added additional 2 years as a deal sweetener. 26k on the clock no issues at all just tires 😊, only annoying issue is cold weather the front tires skip on full lock, I think they call it the Ackerman steering geometry. Love the Stelvio and not many on the roads as you drive up and down the country, unlike the German brands very common.

Having owned a Giulia Veloce, and now a Stelvio Quad, the smart thing to do is take out the service package or 2, 3 or 4 years. It means each comes in way under cost. For the Giulia I think I paid £499 for 3 services, one of those being the 36k one (the timing belt / chain), which priced alone was well over that.

love the green colour

Do the the exhaust mod so you get race mode sound in normal

My GQVs auxiliary belt is due every 40k miles and it’s buried behind some major components so it takes many hours and so the cost is VERY high. Other than that all other maintenance and costs are average and straight forward.

The spec is nice 👌

Brilliant video amazing car

You are the only youtuber that have a alfa romeo qv! I can say you are different! Bmw's, audi's, Mercedes, seems so boring compare to alfa romeo! Good choice! Go for mods!

I own a stelvio Qv. Bought it at 30k km. Have now 80k km. totally disagree with the views of your video. Its the most comfortable car on normal mode I’ve ever had. And i owned many german cars mercedes porsche bmw etc. Second it’s an Suv you say 25 mpg which is not even 11 L /100km. I’ve owned a cayenne S coupe. I could not get it below 12 L/100km. So this car is much more fuel efficient. And you’re complaining about a 2500 eur maintenance for a timebelt? You are comparing it to your audi V10. Tell me your combined maintenance costs for the same kms/miles is lower on this boring audi. I don’t think so. This car is the most underrated daily suv on the market. And luckily that helped us to buy it at a low price. Moreso, if i had to buy another daily. I’d buy the same car again.

A three year alfacare service pack would cost you the same and would cover the belt service. The ‘big ‘ service is aux belts not cambelt.

I've got one in competizione rosso. Tyres and brakes are super expensive. Fuel economy of 25mpg sounds like you do a bit more highway driving. You should consider the total cost of ownership relative to anything else in its class though. At £40k used, given the next versions will be all electric, I don't think these will depreciate too much further considering how reliable they are proving to be.

1,5 years on mine. 40.000km with an average of 11,5l/100km, which are 20,45mpg. Normally I drive 60km per day and a difference of 800m of altitude in the Italian alps. This is THE daily driver if you`re living in the mountains and you`re driving on curvy roads. Such a fun car. The only REAL downside for me is the non-compatibility with a trailer hook. It's a shame that you cannot use a hook mounted bikerack on a car like this.

Loved mine and miss it, smiles per miles

he is getting better Mpg than my 4cyl Mazda lol

love the stelvio Quad

I got a four year service plan for my quad £499.00. Coming up for its 4th one now

Correction, the Stelvio is actually real wheel drive most of the time and only uses 4 when needed. Also, in Race mode it's strictly real drive.

75%

Agree with everyone else. Get the belt service done by an Alfa specialist. As an oddity due to Alfa Dealers having such a poor reputation a lot of Alfa buyers actually PREFER a service history from a good well known Alfa specialist. One of the few cars out there with such a situation. Autolusso would do the full service you need PLUS a remap for the same price as the Alfa dealer is quoting you.

Wow in Norway the service is around 500000 Nok or a complete car, coolvideo greetings Norway

14:02 What are you talking about - the Stelvio QV , as well as all the other Petrol Stelvios, does not have a timing belt!!

Great color, it does sound good especially for a car thats released in today's climate.

You have a Ferrari engine Alfa Romeo for DAILY and you have thoughts for its fuel consumption??? Maybe you’ve should buy the diesel one…

I used to make 25-28 average mpg in my old 2007 unreliable Audi a4 2.0 t se Quattro. Doing 16 miles per day.

Don't complain about the biggest service bill of the cars life (should have done your research before hand) when the other services are reasonable. The fact that it was due the big one is probably why you got it for £40k and not £42k. Also, spunking money on wrapping the car is just insane if you are concerned about ownership costs.

that would be a video

11l/100km (25.9mpg) is totally ok for a large powerful SUV. If you can afford a car like that, that fuel consumption should not be an issue. It's not like it does 10mpg.

It's not a Ferrari V8 with 2 cylinders missing, we have to drop that myth. The guy who designed this engine also designed the Ferrari V8 twin turbo and used that knowledge to make this one, but they are not related.
