The beating heart of both Alfa Romeo Giulia and Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio is the 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with 510 hp and 600 Nm of torque paired with the 8-speed ZF automatic transmission, beautifully smooth in calm modes and lightning-fast and sharp in sporty ones.

The obvious difference between the two lies in their size: a few centimeters of difference in length (464 cm for the sedan, 469 cm for the SUV), and several kilograms: respectively 1620 kg and 1830 kg; not even that many, considering that the Stelvio Quadrifoglio has the Q4 all-wheel drive.

The trunk capacity is 525 liters for the Stelvio and 485 liters for the Giulia.
The data shows a 0-100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds for the Stelvio and 3.9 seconds for the Giulia, with a top speed of 283 km/h and 307 km/h in favor of the sleeker sedan. The declared average fuel consumption is 10.2 l/100 km and 9.0 l/100 km, respectively.
Which of the two will be the best?

    If I had the money I'd buy one of each of each available color. 👏👏👍👍

    Beautiful cars. So sad they will finish production in a couple of months. I won’t be buying an electric QV.

    I think a lot of car manufacturers are backing off of the big EV push, and will be producing hybrids for quite some time.

    I own both of them. Stelvio is a safer car but the giulia is the one to own if you can afford one of them. Its such a fun car!

    Stelvio so I can bring my family of four to Tahoe. The AWD system of Alfa is underrated. In less than ideal conditions which is often the case in my area, the Stelvio provides superior control and confidence. The Q4 system is a dynamic AWD system that is quite rear biased when you have good tractions. It only shifts when you start to lose a bit of grip. This is a car that can do it all. If you get the earlier version, then exhaust valve is not fully opened unless you hit 5000 RPM or in Race Mode. The newer version allows you to configure it even for dynamic mode so you get all the stability control feature while enjoying the amazing soundtrack.

    I agree, if I had the $$$, I would buy both for their unique driving styles.

    A sad day for petrolheads when Alfa cease production (massively premature in my view) of ICE cars.
