Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio

The Italian flair in the design of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio has been very well continued on the inside of the cabin as well. For this Quadrifoglio version, Alfa Romeo has resorted to all-black upholstery option with leather, aluminium and carbon fibre inserts.

The multi-functional steering wheel with silver inserts and push start-stop button placed on it as well as cool-looking instrument console with 7-inch coloured MID screen makes up for a great driver’s cockpit, if not outright sporty. 

The layered dashboard has an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system tucked in between, with the lower portion of the dashboard having AC vents with rounded edges and buttons for automatic climate control. The centre tunnel, like in the Giulia sedan, has transmission lever, audio controls and drive mode selector housed in it, with carbon fibre and piano black surrounds.

For a performance-oriented crossover, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio has an extensive features list and good levels of space and comfort, making the crossover a sporty yet practical place to be in.

Alfa Romeo has been reminiscent of making some of the curviest designs in recent times, and the Stelvio Quadrifoglio is not in a different league. The crossover comes with a heightened stance coupled with curvy lines and rounded edges which makes it a stunning vehicle to look at.

The Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio has got the traditional inverted triangular front grille flanked with horizontally stretched full LED headlamps, which do incorporate LED projector bulbs with strips of daytime running LEDs. The partitioned lower grille below the front grille in the front bumper with fog lamps on either side is something that is rarely seen in a vehicle.

The side profile of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio has a curvy appeal to it, with swooping haunches above both the wheels as well as the rounded window line and sloping roofline give it a very sporty visual appeal. The slim body cladding in the lower portion of the side profile adds the much-needed ruggedness.

At the rear, the visual drama has been toned down with a cleaner design for the boot lid, which though has a prominent curve flowing through the centre, with the sharply raked windscreen and stretched triangular LED tail lamps with rounded edges still making it a stylish vehicle even from the rear. The thick body cladding with silver skid plates has the ruggedness of an SUV continued at the rear as well.

With the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio riding on 19-inch wheels shod with low profile tires and stiff setup for the suspension combination of double wishbone at the front and multi-link at the rear, the crossover feels sporty and agile to drive, something which only gets even more enjoyable with the multiple drive modes altering the suspension and power delivery setups.

The main highlight of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio has to be the very exclusive 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V6 petrol engine, which currently is the most powerful engine in Alfa Romeo’s stable. Paired to an 8-speed automatic gearbox, the engine has the ability to produce a maximum power output of 505 PS and a peak torque output of 600 Nm.

The Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio is one premium and sport-oriented vehicle, which clearly signifies towards an extensive list of safety features consisting of front, side, curtain, and knee airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, vehicle stability control, traction control, hill start assist, traffic jam and highway assist, active blind spot assist, lane keep assist, intelligent speed control, traffic sign recognition, and driver attention assist.

With an abundance of sporty and exotic appeal in its exterior and interior design, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio has a potent and wonderfully tuned powertrain and driving dynamics to match its beautiful aesthetic appeal.
