The Merc is indeed very nice, but I don't find it as special as the Stelvio. It needs a 37% bigger and heavier engine to get the same levels of power. The Stelvio is clearly the better driver's car with superior dynamics as some could expect having been built over the Giorgio platform (designed by Ferrari engineers) with a Ferrari derived engine. The Macan ...well the Macan is a VW TIguan built by Porsche with an Audi TFSI engine. It's incredible that 2/3 of Porsche sales are SUVs built over VW platforms with Audi engines. I'm not saying they aren't better than their VAG brothers, but still...
Demian Aegidiux Wilde All of that is true. However, the team Marchione gathered to develop the Giorgio platform (first for Alfa Romeo, but soon to be found on other FCA models like the Maserati Grecale), consisted mainly of Ferrari engineers, namely the author of the F154 engine, from which Alfa got the reduced 6 cylinder version. So yes, technically it’s all Alfa Romeo. In reality it is mainly Ferrari engineering.
Porsche engineers changed 70% of VAG’s MLB platform. The Macan is by no means a VW or Audi in a tux. In fact, in terms of quality and all-round driving performance of the Macan, GLC AMG, and Stelvio, the Porsche easily takes the crown.
Just sold my gla45 amg and now have a used macan s , I can say the driving experience is great but the interior and exterior quality is far superior in the macan.
You missed the most important point to owning any of these cars, which one is the prettiest? Alfa is an Italian super model sure to turn heads while the other two are cold German workhorses.
The plastics are great. And il tell you why, as an owner of a Giulia Veloce those plastics clean so damn well - other expensive cars we’ve owned ,the scuff marks remain and looks shithouse after a while. Amg fastest? Not according to other reviews.
Mik S yeah alfas are show off when not in repair 😂😂 also is a great show off when you invite someone for a ride and everything squeaks inside or with a mini cooper size wheel gap
@@2334spike ...Which of course is what 'everybody' believes, but not at all true. I don't look at Alfa Romeo as a show off, I look at them as a better alternative to the usual German stuff that (the same) "everybody" believes to be reliable and superior.
@superjoe1 That Is of course of joke, because the 500X is a very good and reliable small machine in its 1.4 Turbo version, but it's built over an FCA small modular B platform. The Stelvio is built over the excepcional good D platform called Giorgio and developed by a Ferrari team of engineers hand picked by the late Marchionne himself. Do you know what else isn't a joke? The Stelvio has clearly a superior 4L engine than the base Macan and it has clearly a superior top of the range model. Why? Because the Stelvio 2.9 V6 twin turbo is a Ferrari F154 derived engine, while the Macan is built over a VW platform with a 2.9 V6 Twin turbo TFSI from Audi (from the RS4/RS5). All Porsche SUVs (Cayenne and Macan) are built over VW platforms with Audi/VW engines. Not a single one has a Porsche engine. And sadly this is not a joke.
Australia hasn’t got the 2021 version yet unfortunately. That’s why the older model is being used. The newer model doesn’t do anything better performance wise tho so it shouldn’t be that big of a deal
Sports cars reviewed and recommended for a boring family demographic .. that’s why I’m sooo bored of seeing AMG driven by some fat wife who thinks she’s young. Take the Alfa any day.
Pretty hollow review seeing as it only has 3/4's of the real story, it should have included the BMW X4 M Competition in the mix. Why didn't it? perhaps you should test drive the BMW :-)
The QV sound much more unique and exotic. Its a masterpiece a engineering to fit that much power in an engine that small. The amg actually sounds like a grumpy all lion, as of the alfa, it sounds like a young lion ready to take the throne ;) both are great cars though (I might be a little biased because I own a stelvio QV)

The Giorgio platform was designed by Alfa Romeo, the engine is derived from a Ferrari engine. Ferrari was born from Alfa Romeo ...

Amg fastest? Not according to other reviews.
And yet every video I watch, the GLC beats the Q
@@thisisme5487 with LC ... without ... I’ve seen the gLC lose..

AMG is 4.0 to be fair if it be 2.9 definedly lost for performance for alfa romeo.
Stelvio The Best. 🍀
Is this even fair.....ONLY ALFA !!!
why the Alfa doesnt have performance numbers at start? like the other cars
For everyday use the Macan turbo
Show off Alfa
Exhaust sound GLC
ALL. Alfa. Haha
Show off, clearly a VW Tiguan with a Porsche badge and an Audi TFSI engine (EA839)
Mik S yeah alfas are show off when not in repair 😂😂 also is a great show off when you invite someone for a ride and everything squeaks inside or with a mini cooper size wheel gap

AMG, most luxourious, most room, best V8, best interior, best braking. AMG for me all day everyday. Alfa second and Porsche last.
Same here but with Porsche second. Would never buy a shitbox Alfa.
@@ACTConcreteCutting true but you gotta love the sound of the Alfa. Its a Ferarri engine
@@obl1xif_y981 Still a six, though. My wife likes them but I told her we won’t be owning an Alfa. In the process of buying a 2018 ‘63 today.
@@ACTConcreteCutting yup. My dad just bought the GLC 63 and its so nice. Btw we got the GLC 63 not the 63 S because its already fast enough.
@@obl1xif_y981 Nice! I hope I’ll enjoy mine just as much.
In what way exactly does a suv "handle family transports" better that a sedan or a wagon? There you go.
I understand that question Wagon vs SUV, but Sedan? Eh.. Take any Sedan, and take a Washing Machine with u... yep, there is ur Answer.
That's the 'old' Stelvio?
looks like, whats the idea of review old version when new was introduced long time ago.
@@Anttihii This is not the 2020 version. It doesn't have the updated interior.
Can u get CD now instead of Cassette in the new Q? Nah just Kidding, the Plastic and the USB 1.0 Port doesnt look cheap on the press Photos.

@@eshanmirash2456 u mean 2020.
this was more than performance comparison.

Double plus good you could well be right...

The Porsche is faster then the Alfa Romeo
How do you know do you own either one of these or are you just speaking off what you googled ?
@@ceejay7241 I didn’t ok I just because I know about cars so yeah
@@ceejay7241 I have owned both and currently own the Alfa Quad. The Macan Turbo is not as fast as the Alfa.
