just bought a second hand 2019 Stelvio QV, but also looked at X3 M40i and X3M. Key points: 1) In my country Stelvio is A LOT cheaper both new and used compared to X3 M/M Comp. The slight difference in performance in favor of BMW X3M Comp does not justify aprox 20k euro price hike. I don't drag race, so plus/minus 0.4s is irrelevant. 2) Stelvio used is ~ same price as a used X3 M40i, but is faster, sounds better and is more of a head-turner than the BMW. It has a lot more personality, you feel good driving it. 3) After installing a cheap Squadra dongle, the Stelvio can sound like in Race Mode in any other mode and at basically any speed, making it very fun to drive around (safely). From the outside it sounds ridiculously good. Sadly, the BMWs sound pretty dull in comparison. 4) Contrary to folklore, QVs aren't generally unreliable. Like with any car brand, there will be occasional duds, which tend to get a lot of publicity. I've done my research and overall reliability seems good. The critical thing is choosing a second hand example with good history and preferably not from the first batch of 2018. TLDR: X3M Comp is slightly quicker, but Stelvio is cheaper and has more personality.

Different conditions, different fuel quality, different altitude can all influence times. Our tests are not designed to represent the absolute best-ever possible times. We do these so you can compare consistent (and in reasonably controlled conditions) real-world times between different cars that we test. Interestingly we notice we got 4.00sec exactly in the 2020 X3 M Comp model. Thanks for watching 😀

The Stelvio's issue as mentioned by many reviewers is that it oddly doesn't offer launch control. I really feel it would be neck and neck with the bimmer or even just edge it if it had this feature, and it's disappointing, particularly in the price range. I'd still take a Grand Cherokee trackhawk over both of them, honest. Also there is no way I am doing faux suede at 200 grand. Yes it breathes better but it's ridiculously hard to keep clean and I can't understand why anyone would want it over leather.

@jaydubs6354 8 ай бұрын

Technology is pretty dated as well. The macan gts and x3m offer a lot better technology. I was very interested in a stelvio. They drive great. But I didn’t like how the fixed paddle shifters kinda block the turn signal. A few times while driving I’d go to hit the turn signal and accidentally down shift. Also didn’t like fairly basic tech features in 100k sport SUV’s like a 360 degree backup camera isn’t offered. I know Alfa’s are very much driver focused vehicles and I love the heritage of the brand but I found the other options much more viable as daily drivers. Stelvio almost feels too raw for a performance suv

In terms of performance, yes the BMW is faster, this car came to the market in 2021 and Stelvio was in 2018... and the claimed power by BMW to this engines is very conservative, this cars on the dyno puts out 545hp and 700NM of torque! And i forgot to mention the steering rack of the Giulia and Stelvio is lightening fast with a 11,9:1 rack ratio and is the lightest car in that SUV segment who translates in a very fun car to drive! In the lauch the Alfa din't do their best too because in Carwow channel this car do 11,8 seconds in 1/4 mile... Btw both cars are great machines and extremely capable! ✌️

I was in love with my Giulia and Alfa Romeo as a brand, however, I will never again buy/recommend another Alfa Romeo in my life. I had the brake by wire system fail on me and it caused me to crash and total the car. They sent someone from Bosch to diagnose the vehicle and in the charts it clearly showed that something malfunctioned (brakes were slammed 2 seconds before the impact at 40 MPH and it took more than 1.5 seconds for the speed to start going down.) Stellantis told me that they were not going to take responsibility for it and that I needed to have my insurance pay for the vehicle. Absolute garbage.
