The BMW X3 is much more spacious and comfortable than the Stelvio, and probably better for everyday use.
The Audi Q5 feels rock solid and wears a clean, conservative style that might appeal to a broader audience.
The Mercedes-Benz GLC has the segment’s best interior and an unquestionable brand cachet that Alfa Romeo doesn’t enjoy.
The Jaguar F-Pace is the Stelvio’s closest competitor in terms of driving dynamics, but it’s down on power unless you select the pricey V-6.
The Stelvio’s also quite close to the Porsche Macan in size and mission, but go ahead, spec out a Macan online, then compare prices.
We’ll wait.
With smelling salts.

Remarkably fun to drive and beautiful too, the 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is great at driving, less facile at crossover-SUVing. |
The Audi Q5 is certainly the segment's most modern offering, delivering a high degree of technology, comfort, and conservative style. |
The 2018 BMW X3 ventures into M territory, but doesn’t lose sight of its SUV duties. |
The 2018 Jaguar F-Pace is a statement of style over sedans. It looks like it belongs, which we suppose is the point. |
The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class captivates crossover types with its lush cabin and its plush ride; there’s AMG power on tap if you must. |
The 2018 Porsche Macan is the performance pick among compact crossovers because of course it is. Purists may scoff, but we don’t much care. |
