The Giulia was epic - but it was Alfa's 503hp SUV that was properly of its time. Here's how to get a good one.
Note for reference: car weight and power data is hard to pin down with absolute certainty. For consistency, we use the same source for all our guides. We hope the data we use is right more often than it's wrong. Our advice is to treat it as relative rather than definitive.Despite being well over 200kg heavier than the Giulia Quad, the all-wheel drive performance version of the Stelvio scampered through the 0-62mph noticeably more quickly than its rear-wheel drive sibling in the real world.
The eight-speed transmission delivering torque via a carbon fibre propshaft was well up to the job almost all of the time. Downshifts in Normal mode could sometimes seem a little hesitant if you weren't decisive with your right foot, but switching to Race mode sorted everything out. You wouldn't go for one of these cars if your aim was to minimise motoring costs. The official combined fuel consumption was 31.4mpg but you could easily knock ten off that in spirited driving and twenty off it in full hoon mode. It doesn't have a big petrol tank either so don't push it much over 250 miles before the next fill.
Carbon ceramic brakes were available as an option but they could be squeaky and they weren't as quick to warm up as other CC systems. Even when they were warm, testers weren't convinced they were that much better than the regular steel discs, which were 360mm at the front with six-piston calipers and 350mm at the back with four-piston calipers. Whatever you had, the brake-by-wire pedal feel wasn't brilliant at low speeds.
