Alfa Romeo Stelvio EV
A culturally daring EV
The second-generation Stelvio arrives in 2025 as Alfa Romeo’s first fully electric SUV, built on STLA Large’s 800V variant — a significant step beyond the Charger and Wagoneer S. It will also pioneer STLA Brain, Stellantis’s next-generation vehicle computing architecture, promising genuine OTA software improvement and AI-driven dynamic customization.

What we like
The 800V architecture is the most important upgrade over STLA Large’s initial applications. It enables dramatically faster charging rates (potentially 350 kW+) and supports the platform’s full battery capacity. The Quadrifoglio version’s claimed 2.0-second 0–62 mph time — versus the current V6 QV’s 3.9 seconds — underscores a genuine performance step-change. STLA Brain’s OTA capability addresses the software criticism that has dogged earlier STLA Large models. CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato has committed to a driver-focused interior without excessive digital clutter — a refreshing counterpoint to touchscreen overload.
The EREV variant with ~1,000 km total range is particularly clever for European markets where charging infrastructure remains patchy in some regions.
Meh…
Specifications remain partially confirmed ahead of full reveal. Alfa Romeo pricing has climbed significantly in recent years; the Stelvio EV will need to justify its position against well-established German rivals.
Rivals Range Power 0-60 Price
- BMW iX M60. 288 miles (EPA) 619 hp 3.8 sec ~$117 000
- Mercedes AMG EQE SUV (53) 263 miles EPA 677 hp 3.4 sec $104 000
- Porsche Macan 288–264 miles 355-639 hp 5.1-3.3 sec ~$75,000–$100 000
- Audi Q6 e-tron 307–321 miles EPA 422-456 hp 4.3-5.9 sec $72 000
The Stelvio EV’s Quadrifoglio variant, if it delivers on its 1,000 hp / 2.0-second claims, would be the fastest SUV on this list. The base and Veloce models must justify their pricing versus the Porsche Macan Electric, currently the benchmark for the segment.
Verdict
High potential, especially the Quadrifoglio. The 800V architecture and STLA Brain give it a genuine technical edge over earlier Stellantis EVs.
