Alfa Romeo has been in business for 110 years and for about 106 of those years, it didn't need an SUV. That all changed as luxury 'utes took over the world and compelled parent Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to steer the legend toward a suburban people-hauler.
Or not, as the Stelvio I drove in its original iteration back in 2018, while fine at hauling people, was far more optimized to provide driverly thrills. I had complaints back then — about the interior's lack of premium-ness and the absence of a good infotainment system. And lo! Alfa listened. They course-corrected with the refreshed Stelvio.
