Used 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio for Sale near Dallas, TX

The Stelvio is an upscale SUV with the heart of a sports car, and it’s one year removed from new tech that makes it easier to live with.

Though they are called “Sport Utility Vehicles,” some SUVs are more “sport” and some are a little more “utility.” There are big, hulking options like the utilitarian Ford Expedition. And then there are agile, fun-to-drive options such as the 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia. It’s an athletic compact luxury utility vehicle, that definitely puts the emphasis on “sport.” It competes against other performance SUVs like the BMW X3 M, Porsche Macan GTS, Audi SQ5, and Mercedes-AMG GLC 63.

The Alfa Romeo Stelvio arrived for the 2018 model year as Alfa Romeo’s first production SUV. We say “production” SUV because the Italian automaker produced a military SUV called the Matta from 1951 to 1954, as well as the Kamal crossover concept for the 2003 Geneva motor show. Following the 2018 introduction, the Stelvio received standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for the 2019 model year, and the infotainment system was updated in 2020. For the 2021 model year, the changes are minimal and limited to renaming the trim lineup.
