Following the introduction of enhancements to its specification and interior last year, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio has been further revised for 2021 and now features RDE2-compliant engines.

Entry-level ‘Super’ and mid-range ‘Lusso Ti’ trim levels have been removed to simplify the grade structure, while colour and wheel options have been realigned to better match customer demand.

Alfa Connected Services technology has been enhanced and now includes remote, vehicle health monitoring and advanced navigation services. The technology enables customers to interact with the car via an app on their smartphone.

Features include remote control of the vehicle security system, updates about any maintenance requirements and the ability to send navigation destinations directly to the car’s sat-nav system.

Fleet management services are also now available via the My Fleet Manager portal, which allows remote management of the vehicle and data access for third party fleet management systems.

Enhancements to the car’s underbelly help to improve aerodynamics and, therefore, efficiency, while a revised transmission reduces friction within the driveline to further boost economy.

The Stelvio’s trim line-up starts with the £44,495 Sprint, which comes with 19-inch alloy wheels, active cruise control, heated front seats, leather upholstery, parking camera and a power tailgate.

It is offered with a 2.0-litre 200hp petrol engine that emits 191g/km of CO2 and a 190hp diesel engine that emits 156g/km.

Stepping up to Veloce includes 20-inch alloys, a sporty bodykit, gear shift paddles on the steering column, passive entry/keyless go and sports seats. This trim is available with a 280hp petrol engine and 210hp diesel. The latter emits 162g/km of CO2.

A new Veloce Ti spec introduces carbon fibre trim pieces, a bespoke rear diffuser, leather and Alcantara seats inspired by the Quadrifoglio performance version, highway assist and blind spot monitoring. It is only available with the 280hp petrol engine, emitting 195g/km of CO2.

These latest changes follow the updating of the Stelvio’s interior with a new layout and materials, incorporating available new ADAS (advanced driver-assist systems) to bring level two autonomy and completely overhauling the infotainment system.

The Alfa Romeo Stelvio promises the very best in terms of comfort and versatility in its sector. There is no compromise on the driving pleasure expected of a genuine Alfa Romeo sports car, yet practicality is delivered throughout, including a 525-litre boot.

The range-topping Quadrifoglio model best encapsulates this promise with its 510hp 2.9-litre turbocharged V6 petrol engine, enabling the car to accelerate from 0-60mph in just 3.8 seconds.
