.............................................................
Introducing the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio! It's undergone a mid-life facelift, and Mat's got his hands on one to find out whether this Italian performance SUV still has what it takes to go toe-to-toe with its key competitors!
If you're in the market for a Stelvio Quadrifoglio, you'll be happy to hear there's one area that hasn't changed during this facelift - the glorious engine! You'll still find a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 hiding under the bonnet, and it puts down an epic 510hp and 600Nm of torque!
But that’s not all! Even with it being an SUV, it can still pelt you to a top speed of 176mph, while also helping you hit 60mph in just 3.8 seconds! All pretty speedy, partly thanks to the relatively light 1830kg weight.
So, the performance is still great, but what other updates have they made to the car? And even with great performance, is it still worth the £74,000 starting price?! You’ll have to join Mat for this in-depth review to find out!

This and Giulia are my favourites. Italians know how to make beautiful cars 🇮🇹.

Alfa know how to make amazing cars. They're flawed over their competitors, but that's what makes them better - you forgive it's flaws, for the sake of it's Italian flair.

@@saidalas7763 The grille is Alfa signature and it's incorporated perfectly into the design.

Stelvio-Owner here - after already 80'000 km, the very best part to me: the direct steering. The 12:1 steering ratio compared to 13:1 to classic sports cars (Porsche, etc.) and 14.5:1 for 'normal' cars is just mind boggling. So much cart-feeling, damn, I have to cut the youtube time and go back to ride it..
This comment makes me want to buy one!
I had an Alfa 147 GTA which I sold about 6 months ago, and one of my favourite thigns about that car was the lightning quick steering. From memory 1.7 turns lock-to-lock which I believe is the quickest steering rack ever on a production car - at least I couldn't find any information to indicate otherwise.
It just makes the car feel so sharp, agile and responsive - it makes the 1360kg or so 147 GTA feel like a 900kg car.
There aren't many cars with steering that can compare to that IMHO, so if the Giulia / Stelvio has similarly sharp steering I could be as god as sold!
@@pete3198 Amazing answer, many thanks! I literally felt the joy you had reading it. I'm sitting on 97'000 km now, just did 17k more. Oh well. And, the mind boggling thing is: It's not just the steering but the comparable light weight, the perfect weight ratio of 50:50, the amazing positive crash-reviews and last but not least the Stelvio has the sexiest friggin arse in car history - at least for me =) It is like you got THE beauty and you have THE best ride with it ..
@@Pumpelche
I remember the first time i saw a Stelvio O my the road, I recall looking at it and thinking "that is a sexy car".
Then right after that thinking "wait... That's the first time I've ever called an SUV sexy!'"
Were there many reliability issues with your car? And what was the best fuel comsumption you achieved? Thanksm
@@emiliospowerballer1441 None yet. It runs without any issues. No piece broke, no tech issue, no need to visit the garage outside of its normal service cycle. My avg consumption with my 2.1 JTDI is around 7.3 l - and I drive it very sporty.
Style, elegance and performance in one. I’m sorry but no one does it better.

Mat the whole video: damn those brakes are good
@@asr1143 ceramic are for racetrack, they're used to cool faster under frequent braking, they can just make a very small difference vs metal ones.
So overall for road, metal is ok
@@asr1143 if you knew you wouldn't say it's a waste of money
@@asr1143 those idiots who drives like a maniac on public roads buys cars with ceramics lol
the main advantage of ceramic discs for me is much less unspung weight per corner, nearly 3kg per wheel, and this not only improves ride quality but reduced unsprung weight has many other handling benefits. Then lastly it is the improved resistance to brake fade.
The Stelvio, like all other Italian cars, has character, it doesn't switch it with some button. When you buy a special Italian car you know what you're getting into, and you have to commit. I actually love them for that.
It's just a machine, quit the BS with the Italian fanboyism

Seriously stands out doesn’t it!
Amazing review
I'm so happy that Matt is always doing reviews on Alfas. Many guys dont really do that nowadays. It also helps the brand in getting new buyers for the cars
Thanks Matt.

It's simply the best mini SUV in the market!
Idc what anyone says, if it had a German badge, people would have gone crazy over it
Couldn't have said it better
Mini SUV 🤣
I had a 2013 Cadillac CTS with a 3.0l NA V6 with 270hp and over three years my avg. mpg was 18.9. This car has smashingly good fuel economy for what it is.
I have a 2020 stelvio in missano blue with Nero pack with yellow brakes and am so impressed with the reliability so far and the power. I can’t even imagine how a quad feels. Amazing vehicle, amazing brand.
Hi Daniel(s). I drive the exact same car! Blu Misano, veloce, black edition & squadra tune (310HP & 460NM) what a feast to ride! Sometimes dreaming of the Q. Here in the Netherlands the prices are crazy. And it is good to be satisfied with what you drive.
And yellow calipers! What a good taste you have! 😂
It's a great day when Doug Demuro and Carwow recently uploaded high performance, practical Italian car reviews
THIS is a good day.

Actually, 2021 model has exhaust flaps open already at Dynamic mode, with stability systems on, at some markets for sure. Amazing car, amazing engine. Enjoying regular Stelvio Veloce model myself, as a family car... )
""Che cazzo"" in Italian it's quite rude Matt...but hilarious from your mouth..😂
Man this reviews and videos are getting better and better, and matt is so funny,my favorite car review channel
I have a Alfa Giulia Ti Sport and it's a fantastic car. It hugs the corners like a dream and beautiful to look at. I've had it for a year with zero issues.
Greetings from Italy! 🇮🇹
Best review so far both strengths and weaknesses. I am lucky enough to own one and am amazed I don't see more. The ride is good it has travel over speed bumps but as Matt says some roads with knackered broken surfaces cause it to jossle a bit.
The Stelvio is the prettiest SUV out there and the QV is certainly one of the quickest. Alfa Romeo has hit a home run with this beautiful car.
Woah! That sound!! I did not expect that! 😮
Used ones hold their value pretty well here in the States. They’re still in the $50-60k range. Hard to find one with the carbon seats.
Nobody wanted those seats. Too expensive, not heated and not as comfortable. I sat in one and I get why
I think that the Stelvio and Maserati Levante are two of the best cars out there regardless. They are so out of my price league these days it's not true, but having owned five Alfas of a lesser status over 20 years I absolutely love them. They didn't rust and they were reliable and great fun to drive. The carbon fibre drive shaft is made by Hitachi.
I love this car. i love carwow.

For those wondering, the engine in the QV is the F154BB that you find in the California T, with 6 cylinders instead of 8!
No, it's definitely not.

Amazing car. For the exhaust noise without out in Race Mode you can instal a Forza Componenti Exhaust Bypass for the Ferrari 480 and etc, works good on the Alfa and has a remote you use to open or close the exhaust valves

Fab car and don’t forgot about the proper aluminium paddle shifters for the gears! They feel so good to use, bang bang bang changing through the gears! Try it in manual mode it’s seems more snappy. I have a Giulia so that’s my experience. Use it in manual and you’ll enjoy it more!

Yes the review i wanted :D
I'm loving it. A grown ups hot hatch
was owning the 159 ti selespeed and thought of either the Giulia or the Stelvio when I went for a new car in 2018, but the reliability (or lack thereof) of the 159, paired with the small boot of either of the cars (couldn't fit my golfing gear inside) made me go for a Mazda CX-5 instead.. reliability-wise the best decision i've ever done..
can seee why JEREMY CLARKSON loves it so much now 😋❤
Yaris GR at the front has 356mm and this - 360mm. That Yaris should stop like crazy....
How many brake pistons on the GR?🤦🏻♂️
@@sylvaind.6786 it won't need as many - it's a much lighter car. Brake disc size mostly equals heat capacity, which is handy for hard use. Actual stopping pace on a first brake, on modern cars, is really just limited by the tyres and the road surface.
@@davidcoveney so under the same conditions (same tires, same road conditions, same car weight, same brake disc size...), a car with 4-piston calipers will brake the same as a car with 2-piston calipers, is that what you're saying???
I'm a simple man, when I see an Alfa Romeo I give a thumbs up!
Total masterpiece 🦅
