Alfa Romeo gives the 2021 Stelvio a more streamlined lineup and a series of minor updates. The company also reintroduces the "Sprint" moniker that was last seen on some of its most famous nameplates—the Giuletta Sprint and Giulia Sprint GTA, for example. It now applies to the base Stelvio trim, with the Ti and Ti Sport rounding out the rest of the tiers. Along with a selection of new exterior colors (Ocra GT Junior, Rosso GTA, Rosso Villa d'Este, and Verde Montreal), Alfa now offers optional 21-inch wheels. Built-in navigation and a dual-pane sunroof are newly standard on the Ti and Ti Sport.

Pros
Entertaining driving manners,
enticing exterior design,
energetic turbo-four engine.

Cons
Cargo space is smaller than rivals,
back seat isn't very roomy,
some unimpressive interior materials.

Pros
Dapper exterior design,
multiple parsimonious powertrain choices,
driver-assistance features come standard.
