EXTERIOR
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio is an absolute beauty that ranks at the top, giving its European counterparts a run for their money. The way it embodies and displays Italian elegance does not give a buyer room to think about buying it twice. You just ask for a chequebook because the sophistication paralyses your thinking. The front fascia features the iconic V-shaped grille that has embellishments of carbon fiber for extra elegance. Aggressive-looking full LED Matrix headlights have high beam and excellent cornering illumination.
The large lower intakes lend it an aggressive touch, and the sculpted body gives it a planted stance. The side profile features pronounced wheel arches, a high waistline, and 19-inch 5-hole design alloy wheels improves its overall aesthetics. The rear maintains the sporty appeal. You have a roof spoiler, a power liftgate, and a dual exhaust outlet.

INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio does not disappoint in the interior. It is deeply soaked in space, comfort, technology, and luxury. The cockpit is driver-centric. Expensive materials like leather and soft-touch materials have been used to elevate its premium feel.
The bucket seats have generous side bolsters and strong lateral support. They can be heated and are power-adjustable to match a desired sitting posture. Behind the multi-function steering wheel sits a digital instrument cluster, and at the center of the dashboard is an 8.8-inch digital touchscreen embedded with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, where your kids can watch Cocomelon.

A 14-speaker Harman Kardon speaker system is present, delivering immersive audio quality, especially when listening to the old Kenyan classics of Juacali, Mejja and Nameless. Both rows have ample legroom and headroom.
PERFORMANCE: How Does it Handle Kenyan Roads?
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio is absolutely what it thinks it is. Going for a test drive in this car is very addictive because you find yourself buying it. If you want to drive comfortably in town or to Naivash with your family, the 2.0 L engine is good. Youngsters who love thrill and zest will adore the 2.9 L Powertrain.
The steering wheel is quick and direct, making overtaking along Waiyaki Way effortless. The way it handles itself is much better compared to its rivals. Agility is the difference. The suspension system is tuned with a sporting bias, but at least you won’t feel any jerkiness when driving over potholes, especially along Jogoo Road. That road needs to be fixed to allow the likes of the Lamborghini Revuelto to drive through it. The Stelvio comes with different driving modes to match the preference of the driver. As much as it has a high ground clearance, it is not an off-roader. If you really must go for an expedition in Mt. Ololokwe, we can get you the JAC T9.
