2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a much broader package of standard safety and convenience equipment across the lineup. It is not a redesign, but the trim range is simplified and the new Veloce takes the former Ti Sport’s place.
About the 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio
1st generation Stelvio, late-cycle pre-refresh year in the U.S. lineup.
The Stelvio is Alfa Romeo's driver-first compact luxury SUV: an Italian alternative to the usual German choices, aimed at shoppers who want sharp steering, quick responses, and standout styling without giving up SUV usefulness. Alfa Romeo markets it less as a soft family crossover and more as a performance-minded utility vehicle, with strong turbo power, rear-drive roots, available or standard AWD depending on trim, and a cabin that mixes sporty design with everyday practicality.
The 2022 Stelvio lineup runs from the well-equipped Sprint through the comfort-focused Ti and sport-styled Veloce. Sprint has a 280-hp turbo engine, leather-trimmed seats, and an 8.8-inch touchscreen, while Veloce adds more aggressive body and cabin details. Quadrifoglio is the serious performance version, with a 505-hp twin-turbo V6, performance suspension, stronger brakes, and a four-outlet exhaust.
What changed, by category
Safety
Adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and front and rear parking sensors become standard across the lineup. Blind-spot monitoring specifically moves from optional to standard on Sprint and Ti.
Tech
Navigation, wireless phone charging, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror become standard across the range. Sprint also gains standard heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.
Styling
The new Veloce takes over the former Ti Sport’s role as the sporty 2.0-liter trim. It has a body-color sport body kit, a rear diffuser, gloss-black exterior trim, sport seats, aluminum cabin trim, and 20-inch wheels. Quadrifoglio also gains standard roof rails.

“Why does this vehicle have problems with the electronic throttle control warning…it's very common and has yet to be fixed.”
“The Alfa Romeo Stelvio has cohesive features that make the vehicle seem well put together and thought out. The interior on my Sprint trim model is bright and sleek. The exterior look is very attention grabbing. The car handles extremely well - it feels stout, yet nimble.”
