“What the Alfa delivers where so many of its competitors in the SUV market don't, however, is the sense that you're driving something that truly draws its DNA from decades of racing heritage.”

“The 2.9-litre biturbo V6 engine is one of the automotive world’s true wonders.”

“The storming V6 engine and lithe chassis conspire to deliver one of the best high-performance SUV driving experiences money can buy, along with a design that stands out from the crowd.”

“This is a vehicle you buy with your heart, not your head.”

“If you subscribe to the philosophy that life’s too short to be boring, you know what to do.”

“...easily the most desirable Alfa yet and proves to be an alluring alternative to the current crop of sporty German SUVs. It also proves that Alfas are no longer a left-field choice.”

“So few performance SUVs offer anything like the engagement of the Stelvio Quadrifoglio and those that do are more expensive – in some cases by at least a factor of two”

“Attractive, dynamic and exclusive, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio makes a strong argument for choosing an SUV with your heart”

“Functional and classy, the Stelvio Veloce’s cabin is a real highlight.”

“Alfa Romeo has done something with the Stelvio to help it feel different and sit apart from a mostly same-same pack of competitors.”

“It’s luxurious and comfortable, yet also quick and endowed with sports car-like dynamics that see it handle better than an SUV should have any right to.”

“The brutal V6 power pushed to the rear wheels is a joy to wrangle. I never tired of it and I admit that I relish in its head-turning character. I’d own this car in a heartbeat.”

“Important changes close the gap in refinement and usability to Euro rivals, and it remains a driver’s delight.”

“Everything about the way the Giulia behaves is transparent, readable and dependable. As ludicrous as it might seem, the 375kW, turbocharged, rear-wheel drive Giulia is incredibly approachable.”

“The styling is full of emotion and passion, and so is the powertrain, actually. Flat out, it is scary fast. Yet, when you want it to settle down and cruise, it can do that too. Although, the engine’s characterful charm can’t be disguised, which makes it exciting to drive no matter what the occasion.”

“Oozing Italian character the motor produces a glorious soundtrack that changes throughout the rev range.”

“Frankly, at $138,950 the thing I find most shocking about the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is that I don’t see more of them on the road, because everyone who can afford one really should go and buy one.”

“It’s still a brilliant sedan for people who really like driving, with a firecracker of an engine and a lively rear-wheel drive chassis – but an extra coat of polish has been applied to some of the bits that needed it. What more could you want than that in an Italian sports sedan?”

“The Giulia is a joy to drive in all conditions, truly embodying its 'sports sedan' classification with dynamic poise and everyday usability”

“Giulia is beguiling, and I defy you to find anyone who thinks otherwise. She is the perfect Bond girl.”

“You could pay a lot more for even more performance. Or you could simply enjoy the style and performance offered by the entry Sport model which is no slouch.”

“The Sport has a lot going for it: expensive looks and keen sporting focus that talks the talk, at an enticing price point usually reserved for premium-badged humdrum. Importantly, it’s also a fine daily driver and a comfortable grand tourer.”

“The Veloce is a very finely judged road car and a pleasure to drive.”

“An Alfa Romeo is purchased with the heart, not the head, but I reckon those who pick the curvy Giulia will have many valid reasons to justify their choice”

“It’s a car that’s all about the driver experience, and it shows in its performance. Inside too, the interior is sporty yet plush”

“If you think with your heart instead of your head, or prioritise handling above all else, then it’s hard to look past the Giulia Veloce. It’s barely more expensive than the entry-level Sport and packs a much healthier punch, and there’s no denying its kerb appeal.”

“It’s a beautiful car to look at and an engaging sedan to drive. If I was looking at a medium sedan, it’s the one I’d buy, and with the updates that, according to Alfa Romeo, show the brand has been listening to feedback, it’s an even more attractive proposition than it was before.”

“This time around, it’s a car to enjoy and possibly to love. And it’s proof that an Alfa in 2021 can be more than just a boy’s toy and a ticking time bomb with rust and breakdowns just around the corner”

“It's Italian, it's sporty and it loves life - what more can you ask to take for a nice drive on your favourite hilly roads?”
