.............................................................
Introducing the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio! It's undergone a mid-life facelift, and Mat's got his hands on one to find out whether this Italian performance SUV still has what it takes to go toe-to-toe with its key competitors!
If you're in the market for a Stelvio Quadrifoglio, you'll be happy to hear there's one area that hasn't changed during this facelift - the glorious engine! You'll still find a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 hiding under the bonnet, and it puts down an epic 510hp and 600Nm of torque!
But that’s not all! Even with it being an SUV, it can still pelt you to a top speed of 176mph, while also helping you hit 60mph in just 3.8 seconds! All pretty speedy, partly thanks to the relatively light 1830kg weight.
So, the performance is still great, but what other updates have they made to the car? And even with great performance, is it still worth the £74,000 starting price?! You’ll have to join Mat for this in-depth review to find out!

@@saidalas7763 man you're still under every Alfa car videos bashing them, your life must be really sad, poor you..
Haha just about to say that!!
@@stefanomarchi3542 go pay your debt first, 🇮🇹 kid
@@saidalas7763 ahahaha cmon man get a real life
Stelvio-Owner here - after already 80'000 km, the very best part to me: the direct steering. The 12:1 steering ratio compared to 13:1 to classic sports cars (Porsche, etc.) and 14.5:1 for 'normal' cars is just mind boggling. So much cart-feeling, damn, I have to cut the youtube time and go back to ride it..
This comment makes me want to buy one!
I had an Alfa 147 GTA which I sold about 6 months ago, and one of my favourite thigns about that car was the lightning quick steering. From memory 1.7 turns lock-to-lock which I believe is the quickest steering rack ever on a production car - at least I couldn't find any information to indicate otherwise.
It just makes the car feel so sharp, agile and responsive - it makes the 1360kg or so 147 GTA feel like a 900kg car.
There aren't many cars with steering that can compare to that IMHO, so if the Giulia / Stelvio has similarly sharp steering I could be as god as sold!
@@pete3198 Amazing answer, many thanks! I literally felt the joy you had reading it. I'm sitting on 97'000 km now, just did 17k more. Oh well. And, the mind boggling thing is: It's not just the steering but the comparable light weight, the perfect weight ratio of 50:50, the amazing positive crash-reviews and last but not least the Stelvio has the sexiest friggin arse in car history - at least for me =) It is like you got THE beauty and you have THE best ride with it ..
@@Pumpelche
I remember the first time i saw a Stelvio O my the road, I recall looking at it and thinking "that is a sexy car".
Then right after that thinking "wait... That's the first time I've ever called an SUV sexy!'"
Were there many reliability issues with your car? And what was the best fuel comsumption you achieved? Thanksm
@@emiliospowerballer1441 None yet. It runs without any issues. No piece broke, no tech issue, no need to visit the garage outside of its normal service cycle. My avg consumption with my 2.1 JTDI is around 7.3 l - and I drive it very sporty.
I once rented a giulia for a weekend alpine driving. I finally understood what James May once said. Driving an Alfa gives you that fizz feeling between your legs.

This and Giulia are my favourites. Italians know how to make beautiful cars 🇮🇹.
Black (Road) and white (snow)
Alfa know how to make amazing cars. They're flawed over their competitors, but that's what makes them better - you forgive it's flaws, for the sake of it's Italian flair.
Heck, the old 156/147 GTA's are something special these days!
So does lexus
@@upgradeNEVER no we don't forgive the triangular grills
@@saidalas7763 The grille is Alfa signature and it's incorporated perfectly into the design.
I love this car
Who doesn't
Oh, I forgot vag and merc fanboys who think they are so superior
If only it hadn't that goofy grill up front.
It's a shame because it sounds good
You wouldn't love owning one.

@@KennyThaSharp in all honesty to you pal I’m a so called (mercfanboy) I love Alfa cars the bmw fans seem to be worse as “nothing can beat them”

Please somebody tells Tom NEVER to say "che c@zzo" in public in Italy ...
@@nigol44 yep hahaha
I'd say it translates to "for fuck's sake" in english
The Stelvio, like all other Italian cars, has character, it doesn't switch it with some button. When you buy a special Italian car you know what you're getting into, and you have to commit. I actually love them for that.
It's just a machine, quit the BS with the Italian fanboyism

Thank you editor.
Mat the whole video: damn those brakes are good
@@asr1143 ceramic are for racetrack, they're used to cool faster under frequent braking, they can just make a very small difference vs metal ones.
So overall for road, metal is ok
@@asr1143 if you knew you wouldn't say it's a waste of money
@@asr1143 those idiots who drives like a maniac on public roads buys cars with ceramics lol
the main advantage of ceramic discs for me is much less unspung weight per corner, nearly 3kg per wheel, and this not only improves ride quality but reduced unsprung weight has many other handling benefits. Then lastly it is the improved resistance to brake fade.
These look absolutely stunning, one of the best looking SUVs currently on sale. And that sound is just amazing!
Maybe you need some glasses 🤓
SUVs are disgusting
@Ye Ah Anything else > SUVs

That is just such a cool shot. The way it spun up its rear wheels like "Let me GO!". The coolest looking SUV launch I've seen.

Amazing review
I'm so happy that Matt is always doing reviews on Alfas. Many guys dont really do that nowadays. It also helps the brand in getting new buyers for the cars
Thanks Matt.
Love this car and the Giulia😭😭
I have a 2019 Stelvio QV (US specs). I love driving it. The sound when you gun it - or even idle it in "dynamic" mode is awesome.

Seriously stands out doesn’t it!
I had a 2013 Cadillac CTS with a 3.0l NA V6 with 270hp and over three years my avg. mpg was 18.9. This car has smashingly good fuel economy for what it is.

Awesome review Matt. Spot on with the stelvio ! I Love this car
7:17 that cartoon is pingu, good memories
I have a Alfa Giulia Ti Sport and it's a fantastic car. It hugs the corners like a dream and beautiful to look at. I've had it for a year with zero issues.
I just purchased a 2021 Giulia Black carbon with yellow brakes!!! Wow!!! What fun!!! And best looking car on the road!!!!! Loved the video and awesome English enthusiast doing the excellent video on this Italian beauty. Enjoy jour Giulia!
Matt: why didn't we wash it
Guy I don't know: we just couldnt find any water
Matt: that's a crap excuse
Mat, with one T
Best review so far both strengths and weaknesses. I am lucky enough to own one and am amazed I don't see more. The ride is good it has travel over speed bumps but as Matt says some roads with knackered broken surfaces cause it to jossle a bit.
New editing style is much better. Good job.
Great review. Thanks. Still wondering why other reviews can't match your 0-60 time. Well done
I have a 2020 stelvio in missano blue with Nero pack with yellow brakes and am so impressed with the reliability so far and the power. I can’t even imagine how a quad feels. Amazing vehicle, amazing brand.
Hi Daniel(s). I drive the exact same car! Blu Misano, veloce, black edition & squadra tune (310HP & 460NM) what a feast to ride! Sometimes dreaming of the Q. Here in the Netherlands the prices are crazy. And it is good to be satisfied with what you drive.
And yellow calipers! What a good taste you have! 😂
I am driving this car in red, with carbo ceramic brakes and carbon seats. All what Matt says is true, the good and the bad but this is an extremely fun car to drive.
I had a 22plate guilia totally fell in love with it had German before now got a stelvio veloce another superb car and totally reliable
Woah! That sound!! I did not expect that! 😮
Greetings from Italy! 🇮🇹
What a sound! Wow
Great review as always Mat!😸😸

Mini SUV 🤣
I didn’t even know there was such a vehicle like this. I just bought a Buick GX Encore ST 2021 and I love it.
ur video's make my day matt
This is by far my favourite suv car. My neighbor has one and every morning and evening I get to hear the thunderous engine 😂
Actually, 2021 model has exhaust flaps open already at Dynamic mode, with stability systems on, at some markets for sure. Amazing car, amazing engine. Enjoying regular Stelvio Veloce model myself, as a family car... )
I love it when u say go right ahead and buy
One of the best and nicest cars I have seen for sure

Lol they uploaded like 18 hours apart, I'd barely call that in a single day.
He nailed the intro....... Love carwow❤️
So glad I subscribe to your channel best one out there in the car reviews!!!
I think that the Stelvio and Maserati Levante are two of the best cars out there regardless. They are so out of my price league these days it's not true, but having owned five Alfas of a lesser status over 20 years I absolutely love them. They didn't rust and they were reliable and great fun to drive. The carbon fibre drive shaft is made by Hitachi.
one of the best looking suv ever!
Great Review Matt
Mat fell in love with this one
Amazing car. For the exhaust noise without out in Race Mode you can instal a Forza Componenti Exhaust Bypass for the Ferrari 480 and etc, works good on the Alfa and has a remote you use to open or close the exhaust valves
Just the best SUV ever built love it🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
The way this car sound is just 😍
The amount of views carwow has in 1 hour is .
Absolutely amazing ( in a German accent)
6:54 you won everything, love you from Italy 🇮🇹
My dream car! Grande Alfi! ❤🍀
Waiting for it to depreciate to 20k before purchasing it!
Great work and Stelvio 🍀🤌🤌🤌🤌👌👌👌👌
That Alfa sounds gorgeous!

on all the cars you review best car end of the year should get a comp giveaway for test drive for 1 person round track

Awesome sound! Acrapovic!!
how you manage get all the cars and upload video like every day, great work
The Stelvio is the prettiest SUV out there and the QV is certainly one of the quickest. Alfa Romeo has hit a home run with this beautiful car.

Also, not all IT cars look good. The Ghibli, a 458 an Aventador, but Stelvio is ugly
It’s nice to see Stelvios are catching on in the states even though the majority are 2.0 Ls. I love the sound of that 2.9 L V6 though. That uneven headers snarl.
Thank you for the chapters in description
That tiny honk sound at 3:19 when the door spanked matt's butt! 😂 😂 😂 😂
I love the design of this car!🥰🇮🇹
Love it, love the sound.
Love it so much I ended up buying one
That sound. Damn. 😍
For those wondering, the engine in the QV is the F154BB that you find in the California T, with 6 cylinders instead of 8!
No, it's definitely not.
The pins on the camshaft are different. 90° at the Ferrari and 120° at the Alfa
It sounds amazing!!!
I love the noise so so sweet !

I own the Alfa Romeo Giulia, and it’s a beauty. I do hate that they don’t have launch control but other than that, car is perfect! A bit disappointed you guys didn’t wash the SUV for the review.
I see this car passing me on the road, it's so imposing, distinct, and elegant.
Do believe the hype, I’m loving this car.
Used ones hold their value pretty well here in the States. They’re still in the $50-60k range. Hard to find one with the carbon seats.
Nobody wanted those seats. Too expensive, not heated and not as comfortable. I sat in one and I get why
This is one of those cars which puts a smile on your face 😊😁😃😄
buying one this week, this is insane
When will we get mat vs yianni running race? 🥺🥺. Good video btw!
