Comfortable writing the2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia test drive<\/a> because it's a car I know very well, having driven it for more than 3 years, I had a bit of trouble to start writing Alfa Romeo Stelvio test drive<\/strong>. Not being a big SUV consumer, I only had the opportunity to try a Fiat 500X, a Lexus UX, a Seat Arona and more recently a 2020 Audi Q3. Being used to sedans, it took me some time to compare, to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the Stelvio with the greatest objectivity<\/strong>. I'd like to point out that of all the SUVs I've tried, the Stelvio is much more at the level of the Audi than the other brands mentioned above. This is already a good thing. The Seat is more like a Fiat. The Lexus... it's still in a league of its own. In short, what is this SUV, announced as sporty, worth? Let's go !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handling, a beautiful SUV (in every sense of the word)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"Beautiful\" because it looks good, and \"beautiful\" because it is not a compact SUV. It's a D-SUV, so compare it to an Audi Q5, BMW X3, Mercedes GLC and, why not, a Porsche Macan, they are of the same size. It is clearly the one with the most \"Latin\" design. Plus, with the Misano Blue that the Stelvio in this test has, impossible to remain indifferent to its passage<\/strong>. From the front to the back, Alfa Romeo<\/a> still knows how to make beautiful cars... and without going through the restyling process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On board, the same cabin, the same comfort as in the Giulia sedan, slightly more spacious, slightly higher and trunk necessarily larger. This is sometimes the reason why, in the absence of a Giulia SW in the range, many customers have turned to the Stelvio model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still on the subject of the interior, I love the interior of the Stelvio<\/strong>. It is different from the competition. It's not busy, not austere, not cut and dry, it is elegant<\/strong>The steering wheel design has changed slightly from previous years. Note that, starting with the 2020 models, the design of the steering wheel has changed slightly from previous years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of infotainment<\/strong>Like the Giulia, this 2020 model brings a major update to the system. The interface is close to the best but I have to be honest, it's not as good as what I tried on the latest Mercedes or Audi. The touch screen is good but is not at the level of fluidity of these German cars either at the level of the interface or the navigation on the map. However, it is a big step forward compared to the previous generation<\/strong>..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
