![]() ![]() Rear-wheel drive as standard, the Stelvio can be optioned with an Alfa Romeo "Q4" all-wheel drive system, which can send up to 50% of power to the front in low-grip conditions. The suspension is tuned for improved handling and driving dynamics, which can compromise ride quality if optional larger-diameter wheels are fitted. The driver sits nearly 20 cm (7.9 in) higher from the road than in the Giulia. The springs are longer than those in the Giulia, but stiffer to account for the extra weight and ride height. The suspension, called AlfaLink, implements double wishbones in the front, and an aluminium multi-link configuration in the rear. In order to reduce the weight of the car, aluminium is used for body panels, as well as for mechanical parts such as the suspension, brakes, and engine. Euro NCAP classify it as a large off-road car. It has a 50/50 weight distribution and a drag coefficient of 0.32 (Cd). There are large vehicle blind spots behind the car's pillars. The boot sill is aligned with the rear bumper and cargo does not need to be lifted over a lip when being removed. It has a boot capacity of 525 L (18.5 cu ft). In addition, its track width has increased by 2.9 cm (1.1 in) in the rear and 5.4 cm (2.1 in) in the front. The Stelvio also shares the same engines and most of the mechanics, including a carbon-fibre driveshaft. The Stelvio uses the same Giorgio platform already used by the Giulia, but slightly modified and raised by 22 cm (8.7 in).
