The 2025 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloce remains the drivers choice in the compact luxury crossover segment. Its steering is the benchmark here, delivering a level of feedback and precision that the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Mercedes GLC simply cannot match. The 2.0L turbo four produces 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque, providing adequate thrust with a spirited 5.4-second 0-60 time. The chassis rewards enthusiastic driving with sharp turn-in and balanced handling. At 56450 dollars in Veloce trim, it is competitively priced and includes a good roster of standard features. Fuel economy at 25 mpg combined is reasonable. However, the Stelvio shows its age in interior technology and infotainment, which lag behind recently refreshed German rivals. Rear seat space and cargo volume are on the smaller side for the class. Alfa Romeo reliability concerns persist despite improvements, and the dealer network is thin. Best for driving enthusiasts who want Italian soul and exceptional dynamics in a practical SUV wrapper, and who can overlook some interior shortcomings.
