Alfa Romeo's first SUV shares its architecture and mechanical components with the Giulia sedan, but its all-wheel drivetrain is standard fare. We benefit from a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 280 horsepower, or a twin-turbo 2.9-litre V6 with 505 horsepower in the Quadrifoglio—one of the fastest SUVs on the market. For 2019, new features have been added, while heated rear seats as well as black or carbon appearance packages are also available.
Pros
- Quadrifoglio version is impressive
- Inspired handling and ride
- Engines are excellent, flexible and powerful
- Original and nicely designed silhouette
- Spacious and practical cargo space
Cons
- Wide turning radius
- Very limited rear visibility
- Disappointing finish and presentation (except the QV)
- Automatic emergency brake is too sensitive
- Reliability still unknown
