Alfa Romeo Stelvio

Alfa Romeo's plan to rebrand itself began last year, with the launch of the rear-wheel drive Giulia saloon and a new manufacturing platform. This year sees the addition of Alfa's first SUV based on the platform - the Stelvio. 

The Stelvio will be available with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Power is sent to the rear wheels in regular driving conditions, but can shift to the front axle when the terrain becomes more challenging.

A faster Quadrifoglio version, featuring more aggressive styling and a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 engine that produces 503bhp and 295lb-ft torque, will also be available. It will boast a 50:50 weight distribution and can be specced with carbon ceramic brake discs. 

Pre-orders have opened for the limited-run First Edition Stelvio, with more details expected at the Geneva Motor Show in March.Click www.oktilli.com for more
