If you’re shopping for an Alfa Romeo Stelvio, you’ve got three trims to choose from. And if the range-topping Stelvio Quadrifoglio with its high-performance 2.9L V6 engine boasting 505 horsepower, sport-tuned adaptive suspension, and distinctive race-inspired styling and aerodynamics isn’t in the cards, well, you can opt for the base model or mid-range Ti grade. Here’s a quick summary of the differences between these two:
Performance Upgrades: The Stelvio Ti may offer additional performance features, such as sport-tuned suspension options, which are not standard on the base Stelvio.
Interior Enhancements: Stelvio Ti typically includes upgraded interior materials, such as full leather seats compared to leatherette or partial leather in the base model. Additional comfort features like heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are often standard in the Ti.
Technology and Infotainment: The Stelvio Ti usually features a larger infotainment display and enhanced navigation systems. It may also include more advanced driver assistance features as standard compared to the base model.
Exterior Styling: The Ti model often includes unique styling elements such as larger wheels, more elaborate wheel designs, and sometimes different exterior trim accents that distinguish it from the base Stelvio.
Optional Packages: The Stelvio Ti frequently has access to more premium optional packages, including advanced safety features, luxury interior upgrades, and performance enhancements.
Price Point: The Ti variant is positioned at a higher price point reflecting its additional features and enhancements over the base model.
Base model: 2018 Stelvio
As you’d expect from a premium offering, the 2018 Stelvio comes well-equipped at the starting price point, including genuine leather throughout the cabin, remote start with passive entry, bi-xenon headlamps, dual exhaust, class-exclusive carbon-fiber driveshaft, flat-bottom Formula One-inspired steering wheel, a 7-inch TFT, to name some features.
Sport Package: $1800 upgrade
18-inch aluminum wheels come standard, while the $1800 Sport Package steps it up to 19-inch while adding other features, including a sport-tuned suspension, steering column-mounted aluminum paddle shifters, sport steering wheel, genuine aluminum accents, gloss-black window trim surround, black roof rails, aluminum sport pedals and footrest, and coloured brake calipers.
Under the hood: 280-hp 2.0L engine with AWD
The 2.0L engine, making 280 hp, sprints to 0-60 mph in around 5.4 seconds. All Stelvio models, including the Quadrifoglio, have the Q4 all-wheel drive as standard.
Mid-Range: 2018 Stelvio Ti (Turismo Internazionale)
The more robust, mid-level Ti version features additional standards, including more premium content and convenience offerings like an 8.8-inch widescreen entertainment and information display, heated seats and steering wheel, genuine wood interior accents, and 19-inch wheels, to name a few features.
