context_page_description: The Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a compact luxury crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by the Alfa Romeo subdivision of FCA, first revealed at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show, and entering production at the Cassino Plant at the end of 2016. It is currently Alfa Romeo's best-selling model, with roughly 43,000 sold in 2018.
  The Stelvio uses FCA's Giorgio platform, shared with the mid-size Giulia sedan. The name Stelvio derives from the Stelvio Pass, Italy's highest mountain pass, noted for its 48 circuitous switchbacks.
context_section_description: Preceded by Alfa Romeo's first off roader, the Matta, in the 1950s and the Kamal concept car in March 2003, the Stelvio is Alfa Romeo's first production SUV, using a modified version of the Giorgio platform, shared with the Giulia, and available in both rear and all-wheel drive configurations. 
  The high-performance trim of the Stelvio, the Quadrifoglio, was unveiled on 16 November 2016 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The European versions of the Stelvio were presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2017. The car's engine lineup is similar to that of the Giulia's, with a turbocharged 2.0 litre inline-four and a 2.2 litre diesel inline four.
  The Quadrifoglio trim level offers a 2.9 litre F154 twin-turbo V6 rated at 510 PS (375 kW; 503 hp), developed for Alfa Romeo by Ferrari. On January 18, 2017, Alfa Romeo began accepting orders for the Stelvio First Edition in the EMEA region. On November 2, 2017, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio went on sale in Italy.
  For the 2019 model year, diesel engines of the Stelvio were updated to meet the Euro 6d emissions standards, with AdBlue technology introduced to tackle particulates in the exhaust. Both the 150 PS (110 kW; 148 hp) and 180 PS (132 kW; 178 hp) versions got 10 PS (7 kW; 10 hp) more from this change. In addition, Alfa Romeo introduced a new trim level for Europe: the Ti (Turismo Internazionale). Slightly different than the similarly-named Stelvio Ti on sale in the United States, the Euro-spec Ti is fitted with the TBI-M 2.0-litre inline-four, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, with power sent to all four wheels through Alfa Romeo's Q4 all wheel drive system.
  All models feature an 8.8 inch infotainment system with Apple Car Play and Android Auto as standard, while small tweaks have been made throughout the ranges. In Europe, consumption standards use the WLTP measuring system, which increases accuracy for consumption and emission figures.
