The 2026 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a mid-sized luxury SUV that drives more like a performance sedan than an SUV. Built on the same platform as the Giulia, it delivers 280 horsepower, 306 pound-feet of torque, a sprint from 0–100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, and an AWD system that transfers power front-to-rear in as little as 0.15 seconds. Starting at $64,995, the Stelvio is the right choice for Toronto drivers who refuse to compromise on how their SUV actually feels to drive. Here's the full performance breakdown from the team at Alfa Romeo of Toronto.

2026 Alfa Romeo Stelvio’s 2.0L Turbocharged Four-Cylinder

The Stelvio is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 280 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 306 pound-feet of torque at just 2,000 rpm. That low-rpm torque figure is the key to the Stelvio's character on the road.

2026 Alfa Romeo Stelvio’s Q4 AWD System

Where most luxury SUVs use front-wheel-drive-based AWD systems that send power rearward only when the front wheels slip, the Stelvio's Q4 all-wheel-drive system takes the opposite approach. It runs as a rear-wheel-drive vehicle under normal conditions, channelling the Stelvio's sedan-derived performance character, and transfers power to the front wheels in as little as 0.15 seconds when conditions or driving demands require it.

This rear-biased setup is a meaningful contributor to the Stelvio's handling balance. Combined with the double-wishbone front suspension, typically found on sports cars rather than SUVs, this setup gives the Stelvio fantastic precision through corners that few vehicles in its class can match. 

2026 Alfa Romeo Stelvio’s Available Veloce Package

For buyers who want to push the Stelvio's performance credentials further, the available Veloce package adds $5,000 and brings a meaningfully upgraded set of hardware:

• Limited-slip rear differential — maximizes traction under hard acceleration and through corners
• Strut tower brace — increases chassis rigidity for sharper handling responses
• Sport rear diffuser — aerodynamic enhancement at the rear
• Red brake calipers — a visual performance statement that matches the hardware underneath
• Sport bucket seats — deeper bolstering for more support during spirited driving
• Eight-way power passenger seat — added passenger comfort to match the driver's setup
• Volcano Black body kit — a distinctive exterior treatment that sets the Veloce apart visually
