If well and to date we have only been able to see a small part of its design thanks to an oversight that Alfa Romeo had at its factory in Cassino (Italy) and in the spy photos that we have published to date (that unfortunately show us test units very camouflaged), we can anticipate the key issues that will have the design of the new Alfa Romeo Stelvio.
The general line followed in the design of the Stelvio an image will be very dynamic but without reaching the “end” that you could find in a SUV Coupe. Your front will be closely related to the Alfa Romeo Giulia. delicate profile combine of very interesting way with his prominent front and a body clearly over-high. To this we must add the relevant changes of volumes that denote presence and a great character own a vehicle of this segment.

Quadrifoglio Verde, the most athletic and radical
The version more sports, prestacional, and, in short, a radical, there will be in the range of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio will be the last names “Quadrifoglio Verde“, although it will be more known as QV. This version will differ from the rest of the range by having an aesthetic that accentuates the character of the Stelvio, thanks to the pertinent body kit, exhaust system and tire-specific or other details, such as a brake for greater performance.
Under its hood, we will find the same twin-turbo V6 that propels the Alfa Romeo Giulia QV. A block 2.9 liter that throws 510 HP and 600 Nm of torque, although we cannot rule out some type of specific adjustment to adapt the engine for the new SUV. May be associated both to a manual gearbox as an automatic ZF eight relations.
