2020 Audi Q5 vs. 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio

The impeccable 2020 Audi Q5 effectively promotes Audi’s stately image. Its technology, style, and engine prowess are reserved only for the most premium vehicles. It is no wonder why this luxury compact crossover has been regarded with a Best Buy Award by the prestigious Kelley Blue Book.

The 2020 Alfa Romeo inherited much of its personality from the Giulia. Its general athleticism enables it to maximize utility. Performance and its innovative features are what make the Stelvio a good competition in this segment. Let us see if it can beat the Q5 with these qualities.

Design & Style

The Q5 has an unparalleled styling that shows the unrivaled craftsmanship of its makers. It has the distinct Singleframe grille and the prominent LED headlights up front, highlighting its sporty profile. The ample capacity of the cabin is also one of its commendable features.

The Stelvio is sensuous and curved at the right places. It carries the brand’s flair for building beautiful cars so well. While the exterior holds a lot of promises, the interior is rather simple and uninspiring. Hard plastics on the console definitely made it look mediocre compared to the luxurious materials used on the cabin of its competitors.

Technology & Safety

Apart from the relaxing ambient lighting, the Q5 delivers an awesome set of modern infotainment features, particularly with the new MMI. The virtual cockpit elevates the driving experience to a new dimension. The innovations also ensure that the Q5 is safe to drive with the suite of advanced driver-assistance technologies.

While the Stelvio’s infotainment works well, it seriously lags behind the Q5 in terms of modern tech. Both entertainment and safety seem to be not the focus on the Stelvio. You can instantly guess with all the issues it have from connectivity down to the middling safety features.

Performance

The Q5 is a very agile performer, thanks to its potent powertrain. It is remarkably fast with the 248-hp engine that can be made even better with the hybrid e Plug-in. A combined output of up to 362 hp is guaranteed with the electric motor. The smooth shifting ability also helps in giving a dynamic road performance.

There are four trim levels for the Stelvio and the base is powered by a 280 hp 2.0 liter engine. A few extra features can improve its average performance, especially with the 2.9-liter V6 at 505 hp.

The Bottom Line

Since the 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is very much like the Giulia, you can expect it to be okay but not mind-blowing. The 2020 Audi Q5, on the other hand, is remarkable from the design up to the potent engine choices.
