Grasso’s Garage: 2024 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloce hits all marks
As Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is known for delivering exceptional vehicles and options for consumers to enjoy, Alfa Romeo brings their Italian jive to the table with their ever-popular Stelvio Veloce (pronounced vel-oh-chay) AWD.
Wrapped in Alfa Rosso Red, enjoying the Stelvio 5-passenger SUV is very easy. Sight-lines, curvatures and comfort, top the list in Grasso’s Garage as the Stelvio Veloce boasts 21-inch dark aluminum wheels, red brake calipers and a Vulcano Gloss Black body kit. Interior features included aluminum paddle shifters, a 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system and red leather sports seats that were actually comfortable and cushy. These items were all included in our Veloce tester while LED lights, dual-dark exhaust tips, dual-capped gloss mirrors, dual-pane sunroof were all standard features.
Powered by the ever-popular 2.0L Inline 4 Turbo Engine providing 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque, the Stelvio Veloce AWD has no problem with getting up and going. The Stelvio offers 5 different models with the base model, Stelvio Sprint which starts at $45K and is their only 2WD version which utilizes the same engine, or the top model the Stelvio Quadrifoglio Carbon, which starts at $93K and offers a potent 2.9L V6 Twin Turbo engine offering 505 horsepower. For my long time readers, you remember when we tested that exact model back in 2019; I can still remember that exhaust rumble and rasp to this day.
With a base price of just under $50K, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloce really shows off nicely and does a great job of delivering “priced-right” features to the end user. As FCA, and parent company, Stellantis, is known for excellent comfort and design, the Stelvio is nothing short of excellence with an Italian Stallion-like twist.
