All-new Stelvio gears up for launch this year...

Range-topping SUV on track for late-2025 reveal, and set to offer both hybrid and electric power

THIS is our first official look at the all-new Alfa Romeo Stelvio, as the brand's flagship SUV gets in shape for its global debut towards the end of this year.

As before, the model will take the fight to the BMW X3 and Audi Q5, but it'll also challenge premium electric SUVs, because for the first time the will line-up will include an EV option.

The second-generation Stelvio is currently being assessed in extreme conditions in Sweden. And judging by these first pictures from Alfa, the new car will be much longer than its predecessor and have an even more rakish roofline. Up front, the iconic Scudetto grille will feature, between what appear to be long daytime running lights that wrap around the nose and nearly onto the wings.
