As Stellantis is known for delivering exceptional vehicles and options for consumers to enjoy, Alfa Romeo brings its Italian jive to the table with the ever-popular Stelvio Veloce (pronounced vel-oh-chay) AWD.

In Alfa Rosso Red, the Stelvio five-passenger SUV is a real beauty. At Grasso’s Garage, we place a high value on sight-lines, curves and comfort. The Stelvio Veloce features 21-inch dark aluminum wheels, red brake calipers and a Vulcano Gloss Black body kit. The interior boasts aluminum paddle shifters, a 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, and red leather sports seats that are both comfortable and plush. These amenities were included in our Veloce tester, along with standard features such as LED lights, dual-dark exhaust tips, dual-capped gloss mirrors and a dual-pane sunroof.

Powered by the ever-popular 2.0-liter Inline 4 Turbo Engine providing 280 horsepower and 306 pound-feet of torque, the Stelvio Veloce AWD has no problem with getting up and going. The Stelvio comes in five different models with the base model, the Stelvio Sprint, starting at $45,000. It's the only 2WD version and utilizes the same engine. The top model, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio Carbon, starts at $93,000 and offers a potent 2.9-liter V-6 Twin Turbo engine offering 505 horsepower. My longtime readers may remember when we tested that exact model back in 2019; I can still remember that exhaust rumble and rasp to this day.

With a base price of just under $50,000, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloce really shows off nicely and comes in at the right price. As Stellantis is known for excellent comfort and design, the Stelvio is nothing short of excellence with an Italian Stallion twist.
