Alfa Romeo has announced the official pricing
details of the 2018 Stelvio, which goes on sale at dealers nationwide later
this summer. The entry-level model starts at US$ 41,995 MSRP, featuring 18-inch rims, bi-xenon headlights with LED DRLs, LED
taillights, and power liftgate as standard.
The standard equipment list also includes keyless

and more.
The optional Sport Package adds 19-inch rims,
colored brake calipers, sport-tuned suspension, aluminum accents, black roof
rails, sport steering wheel with aluminum paddle shifters, aluminum sport
pedals and footrest and other, for an extra US$ 1,800. Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto are on the options list as well. Those looking into a better-equipped
version of the brand's much-awaited SUV can select the Stelvio Ti (Turismo
Internazionale), which is priced from US$ 44,990.
This version comes with 19-inch rims, front parking
sensors, an 8.8-inch infotainment system, SiriusXM, genuine wood accents,
heated front seats and steering wheel and more, with customers given the option
of two optional packages - the Ti Sport and Ti Lusso, each priced at US$ 2,500.
The former adds 20-inch rims, sport-tuned
suspension, sports steering wheel with aluminum paddle shifters, 12-way power
sport leather seats, aluminum sport pedals and footrest and colored brake
calipers.
The Ti Lusso package
includes 19-inch wheels, 12-way power front seats, Luxury Pieno Fiore Italian
leather seats with Cannelloni inserts, leather-wrapped dashboard and upper door
trim with accent stitching, dark gray oak or Lusso-exclusive light walnut wood
trim, and the list goes on. An extensive
range of safety gizmos equips the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, such as autonomous
braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and blind-spot
monitoring.
All US versions of the Italian SUV (not including
the Quadrifoglio) are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, delivering
280 hp and 415 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed
automatic transmission, making the Stelvio capable of a 0-96 km/h in 5.4
seconds and a top speed of 232 km/h. All-wheel drive is standard across
the range.
Joining the family later this year is the potent
Stelvio Quadrifoglio, which uses the same 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine as the
Giulia QV, rated at 505 hp and 600 Nm of torque. Pricing and
availability for this version will be announced at a later date.
