Alfa Romeo Stelvio vs. BMW X3

PERFORMANCE

Feel the Rush on Every Twist and Turn

Under the hood of the Stelvio, you’ll find a 2.0-liter engine that pumps out 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque. This means you can go from zero to 60 MPH in just 5.5 seconds! With that kind of acceleration, you’ll be able to reach its top speed of 144 MPH in no time.

While the BMW X3 also sports a 2.0-liter engine, its output falls behind with 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. In terms of top speed, this SUV can reach 130 MPH and go from zero to 60 MPH in just six seconds!

While this performance will have your heart pumping out of your chest, you may find the larger engine of the Stelvio to be more exciting overall.

INTERIOR

Refined and Polished Interior

With five seating appointments in either option, you’ll be able to seat your whole crew comfortably. Plus, you and your copilot can create your own oases with power-adjustable seats and multi-zone automatic climate control systems.

Where these SUVs begin to diverge is in their standard seating material. All seats in the Stelvio are swathed in leather, with both the front and the rear seats heated! On the other hand, the X3 covers its seats in SensaTec upholstery—a leatherette material. Plus, heated seats are only available on the highest trim level.

While the helpful ergonomics and refined details of either vehicle will elevate your ride experience, you may find the genuine leather seats with standard heating in the Stelvio to be more desirable.

TECHNOLOGY

Ergonomic and Clutter-Free Technology

In fact, both models are equipped with impressive infotainment systems with large displays to ease eye strain and enhance accessibility.

Their infotainment systems also feature standard connectivity features like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™—even an integrated navigation system comes standard! The best part? You can get directions to the nearest coffeehouse or manage your music through the touchscreen or by voice activation.

Stay Charged on the Go

However, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio adds a standard amenity that continues with its undistracted driving initiative—a wireless charging pad. Not only will this feature keep your phone charged up and out of view, but it will also promote a clutter-free cabin. Unfortunately, this feature does not come standard on the BMW X3’s base trim.

The 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio and the 2022 BMW X3 know how to immerse Willow Grove, Horsham, and Abington, PA, drivers into a luxurious and fast-paced drive. Which model can do it better?
