What's the best antidote to two weeks of Home Improvement Program-induced dust, noise and disruption? Why, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloce of course! Before anyone clicks away thinking that this writer has finally gone stark raving barmy, hear me out. We'd already endured eight working days of hacking, drilling, cementing, tiling, plumbing et al at home by the time the Stelvio Veloce was ready for collection.

La famiglia will come to know that the Stelvio Veloce is NOT just simply a soccer-mom SUV.


Let's remember that the Alfa Romeo Giulia was trotted out for market sales in 2016, with the Stelvio following it in 2017. It's now 2022. In the interim, both models received some light changes here and there but for the most part, they remained looking the same. That's now changed. My biggest bugbear with both models is that they came with HID headlights. Well, now they're adaptive LED Matrix items and how they're arranged is the most noticeable change. The headlights are set in a three-abreast fashion on either side in an homage to the SZ Zagato and the Proteo concepts of yore, as well as the present-day Tonale.

Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio Get Refreshed

IN Alfa Romeo, Giulia, Stelvio

New headlights, grilles and a digital cockpit feature amongst the changes


For a rather rounded-edge SUV, those downward-sloping headlights and signature pointy Alfa Romeo grille combine to give the Stelvio Veloce a fierce face, akin to a shark stalking its prey. Large air inlets at the bottom of the front bumper add to this fiery countenance, with the adaptive cruise control sensor housed in the right-side inlet. A clamshell bonnet with power creases on either side rounds off the top of the front-end. Around the side sits a solitary black ‘Veloce’ badge on the muscular front fender, reminding one that this is a pretty hot variant of Stelvio. Letting the eyes drop downward, one can’t help but notice the recognizably-Alfaesque telephone-dial 20-inch rims. Shod with 255/45 R20 Michelin Latitude Sport 3 tyres, this combo offers nice ride pliancy combined with generous levels of grip in the beating rain.
