Alfa Romeo will reveal the US-spec versions of the
Stelvio at the upcoming New York Auto Show. The range of Alfa’s new SUV -minus
the Quadrofoglio model- will be powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre
four-cylinder petrol with direct injection, making 280 hp and 306 lb-ft of
torque.
The brand’s Q4 all-wheel drive system, which is
standard to all US-spec Stelvios, is combined with an eight-speed automatic
gearbox with aluminum paddle shifts on the steering column. Alfa Romeo claims a
0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 144 mph.
Alfa Romeo will offer two models, the Stelvio and
the Stelvio Ti, with the latter featuring more kit, including 19-inch wheels,
heated front seats and steering wheel, front park sensors, genuine wood
interior accents and an 8.8-inch widescreen infotainment display. Sport and
Lusso packages are offered as options, with the latter being offered exclusive
to the Ti models.
