The answer is the same for each question: it’s the new Stelvio.
Compare The 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio With The 2020 BMW X3
2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio
Engine: 2.0L Four-Cylinder
Horsepower: 280
Torque: 306
2020 BMW X3
Engine: 2.0L Four-Cylinder
Horsepower: 248
Torque: 258
Canada’s backroads demand more than middling power - which is why the 2020 Stelvio proves the ultimate option for adventurers and families alike. Bolstered by a 2.0L four-cylinder engine, this SUV can effortlessly conquer even the sharpest inclines: pairing segment-leading strength with turbocharged technology. The all-aluminum block has been carefully crafted, promising improved heat conduction and smooth combustion; while a twin-scroll design utilises electric wastegate actuation and a liquid-cooled intake manifold to enhance sequencing. A silent-chain drive anchors the four-valve system, and direct-injection capabilities further impress (assuring that fuel is distributed evenly).
When these elements combine, they allow the new Stelvio to generate 280 at 5,200 RPMs (compared to the BMW’s 248) and 306 lb.-ft of torque at 2,000 RPMs (compared to the BMW’s 258). Despite both platforms sharing a similar engine structure, only one assures precise power.
Winner: 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio.

Compare The 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio With The 2020 Porsche Macan
2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio
Engine: 2.0L Four-Cylinder
0 to 60: 5.4 seconds
Top Speed: 232 KM/H
2020 Porsche Macan
Engine: 2.0L Four-Cylinder
0 to 60: 6.7 seconds
Top Speed: 227 KM/H
Rarely do sport utility vehicles lend themselves to quick responses - but the 2020 Stelvio delivers the speed Canadian drivers crave. Despite its athletic shape (185-inches in length, 77-inches in width, and 66-inches in height), this platform yields a bullet-like experience on the backroads: achieving a 0 to 60 blast of just 5.4 seconds.
To ensure class-defining performance, Alfa Romeo has meticulously constructed this model - complementing its high-strength steel body with a responsive carbon-fibre driveshaft and a longitudinal front engine (which improves weight distribution and increases traction). A MultiAir2 valve system pairs with hydraulic lash adjusters to promote smooth responses; while forged aluminum pistons enhance sequencing. This creates a maximum engine capacity of 6,200 RPMs; and it propels the Stelvio to a top speed of 232 KM/H.
The 2020 Macan, comparatively, offers a less robust response - requiring almost seven seconds to achieve what the Stelvio does in less than six. Despite also having a 2.0L four-cylinder engine, this Porsche model sputters at the starting line.

Compare The 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio With The 2020 Jaguar F-Pace
2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio
Engine: 2.0L Four-Cylinder (RWD)
City: 10.3 L/100 km
Highway: 8.1 L/100 km
Combined: 9.3 L/100 km
2020 Jaguar F-Pace
Engine: 2.0L Four-Cylinder (AWD)
City: 10.7 L/100 km
Highway: 8.8 L/100 km
Combined: 9.9 L/100 km
The sport utility market isn’t celebrated for its efficiency. The 2020 Stelvio, however, offers advanced technologies to improve pump performance - sparing drivers constant station visits. Direct-injection capability optimises resource distribution, identifying when the engine requires gasoline and at what precise levels (carefully allotting droplets as needed to maintain the power-band); while the body has been configured with a 50/50 weight ratio, keeping the front and rear perfectly balanced to increase traction. This reduces the chance of wheel spin, which can rapidly consume fuel.
Further improving the Stelvio’s economy is the inclusion of Highway and Traffic Jam technology. This program - which is part of the new Active Driver Assistance Package - provides automation to every journey, utilising sensors to monitor speed and trajectory. Should the platform begin to underperform (such as when drifting or cornering too tightly), actions will be taken to correct the concerns: with acceleration regulated, steering perfected, and braking deployed if needed. This creates a more seamless experience and reduces the effects of stop-and-go travelling. Overall fuel consumption is lessened and efficiency is achieved.
These features combine to deliver segment-leading economy - allowing the new Stelvio to stay on the road longer than its Jaguar competitor. Earn an impressive 9.3 L/100 km (Combined) and take this model on any off-road adventure.
Craving an all-wheel experience? The 2020 Stelvio features an available AWD - and this will still impress when compared to the F-Pace, yielding: City, 10.8 L/100 km; Highway, 8.3 L/100 km; Combined, 9.6 L/100 km. Don't compromise power for economy.
