Porsche Macan vs Alfa Romeo Stelvio Comparison: Junior Sports
If you’re looking for a driver-centric SUV, here are two of the best.
We’re not talking about the top-spec models of the Porsche Macan and Alfa Romeo Stelvio, either. Every luxury automaker can build a high-performance (and high-price) SUV, but it’s rare for the four-cylinder models to maintain some level of athleticism.
Looking for a blend of performance and practicality, at a price point that will only crack the bank instead of break it? We spent a week with both to see which walks that fine line best.
2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio: Still the Sporty SUV Summit
I need to talk about the Stelvio Quadrifoglio’s shift paddles.
Lots of cars have some similar setup sprouting from behind their steering wheels. More often than not, they’re glorified buttons, with all the tactility of an ATM keypad. Not so with the elegantly curved aluminum paddles in the 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio. Mounted instead to the steering column, these beauties stay in place as you wind on the lock. Hands will continually catch them en route to the signal or wiper stalks.
That’s the thing, though: Alfa very deliberately prioritized performance and interaction. The Stelvio Quadrifoglio is an abject lesson in that prioritization. Even as one of the elder statesmen of the compact performance crossover scene, the Stelvio QF is the unabashed enthusiast choice. The big question is how much you’re willing to sacrifice for that title.
