2022 Audi Q5 vs. 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio
The 2022 Audi Q5 exudes a sporty look, one thing that has caught the attention of car buyers in Westchester. Add to this, it is loaded with reliable features, and gives users a better experience with its upscale cabin. It comes in a plug-in hybrid trim, which now has a larger battery capacity when compared to those found in its predecessors.
Loaded with more than just a spoonful of standard features, there is at least something to look forward to in the 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio. It offers a comfortable seating arrangement, providing convenience to passengers.
Design & Style
Coming with a modern and elegant cabin design, it is easy to notice the edge of the 2022 Audi Q5 over its rivals, the Stelvio included. This one uses wooden trim pieces to highlight cabin components. One good thing is that you can upgrade your ride to include Nappa leather upholstery and carbon fiber inlays. At the back of the rear seat, you will find room amounting to 26 cubic feet for cargo. This further expands to more than 50 cubic feet once the rear seats are not in use and are folded. Passengers will find the roomy configuration working to their advantage.
As for that of the 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio, you can give it points for carrying a nice design, but if luxury is considered, this cannot give what the Audi offers. Even the cargo area is left amiss with only 18.5 cubic feet of space when all seats are in use. It has heated rear seats, and is leather-upholstered, and for those, we can give it some credit. The firm padding in the cabin seats make the vehicle less comfortable when compared to the Q5.
Technology & Safety
The 2022 version of the Q5 is fitted with a 10.1-inch touch screen for its user-friendly infotainment setup. This one has other technologies like wireless device charging, 10 speakers, Android Auto, and wireless Apple CarPlay. Expect that it has a long list of reliable driver aids, among them are rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning.
The 2022 edition of the Stelvio uses an 8.8-inch touch screen with straightforward menus that you can make use of. Looking at the interface, however, you will find it quite dated when compared to competitors. It has eight speakers, and for safety, its list includes those that the Audi offers, plus the inclusion of rain-sensing windshield wipers.
Performance
The 2022 Audi Q5 has a base engine configuration that results in 261 horsepower. For its plug-in version, ratings go as high as 362 horsepower. That of its turbo-four counterpart in the Alfa Romeo hits up to 280 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
Combining graciousness with masculinity, there is definitely a lot of things to expect and experience from the 2022 Audi Q5. The Stelvio tries to be endearing, but it still needs some refinement for it to go ahead its Audi counterpart.
