The 2024 Alfa Romeo Stelvio starts at $44,775. That’s for the Sprint trim. All-wheel drive is an extra $2,000. If you’re spending that money, though, we’d recommend stretching a little While the idea of a totally insane Hellcat-powered Giulia might be something to dream about, in reality the naturally aspirated 6.4L V8 would be the ideal choice.
