2026 Alfa Romeo Stelvio review

Alfa Romeo Stelvio: a sensible pick with a few compromises. Illustrative review

7.8/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a strong contender in its class. Well-organized infotainment; roomy second row and flexible cargo floor. Touch-only climate controls on some trims and third row (where offered) is for kids, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $48,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Would buy again

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.

★★★★☆Monica G. · Corpus Christi, TX · 27 months owned
Second one we've owned

Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.

★★★☆☆Jake H. · Austin, TX · 18 months owned
Better than the test drive suggested

Replaced an older Alfa Romeo with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.
