Like its Giulia sibling, with which it shares key components, construction and safety features, the Stelvio was awarded Euro NCAP maximum five-star crash safety rating when it was tested in 2017. The sporty Italian SUV also achieved a very impressive 97 per cent score for adult occupant safety and 84 per cent for child passenger protection.

Standard safety kit is good too, as every Stelvio comes equipped with front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, active cruise control, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) and Lane Departure Warning. For an extra £1,000, you can add the Driver Assistance Pack to any Stelvio, which includes Drowsy Driver Alert, Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR), Lane Keep Assist, Traffic Jam Assist and Highway Assist which combines active cruise control and lane centering technology for semi-autonomous highway driving.

The Stelvio didn't feature in our latest Driver Power owner satisfaction survey, although the closely related Giulia saloon has enjoyed success in the best cars to own rankings in recent years.

Warranty

Every Alfa Romeo now comes with a with a three-year/unlimited mileage warranty, with the opportunity to extend the Stelvio's cover for a further 12 or 24 months at extra cost. A year's roadside assistance is also included.

Servicing

Buyers can opt for one of Alfa's tailored service plans that relate to how you use your car and how many miles you cover over a 12 month period.
