Stelvio Veloce Ti joined the rest of the offer for the first time and found a place between the standard Stelvio models and the Stelvio Quadrifoglio model.

Inside, there are visual changes that include aluminum paddle shifters, sports seats upholstered in a combination of leather and Alcantara, a black headliner and rear carbon fibre trim for the dashboard and centre console. Slightly different are the window frames, which are also tinted, and there are special markings on the body.

The Stelvio Veloce Ti is distinguished by its 21-inch black alloy wheels with a typical Alfa design, which will be available in other equipment packages a later date.

The firm has also added a host of connected services, including an on-board WiFi hotspot, an SOS call function and an updated navigation system which provides real-time traffic information and speed camera alerts. There’s also a new, dedicated smartphone app, which can remotely lock and unlock the Stelvio’s doors, set speed limiters and flash the car’s headlamps. The system also works in conjunction with Amazon Alexa and Google Home assistants.

The Stelvio Veloce Ti is turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which develops 276 hp and 400Nm of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox. The engine has a carbon drive shaft, and its power is transmitted to all four wheels via the Alfa Q4 AWD system.

Alfa Romeo will announce more improvements for Stelvio and Giulia in January 2021, and there are not many details yet. The SUV and sedan will receive engines that complies with Euro 6d regulations, as well as a complete package of Alfa Connect Services services standard or optional across the range.

As a reminder, the Stelvio QV is powered by a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that delivers 505 hp and can now be upgraded with several Mopar components.
