Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio review

As a sports SUV, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio may be capable of out-accelerating some supercars, but practicality is also an important consideration, and here it’s a mixed bag.

Four people of average height will fit easily enough. Plus, the optional Carbon Shell sports seats are slimmer than the standard items, so free up useful extra rear leg room. However, the curved roofline eats into rear head room, so six-footers may well find they have to slouch in their seats. And even this isn’t an option for a central rear passenger, because the centre console that runs between the front seats extends back too far.
