The Alfa Romeo Stelvio competes in a tough class that is drawing buyers away from traditional European sport sedans.
That means the vehicles have to be appealing and they are.
The Audi Q5 offers an excellent balance of technology, powertrains, and materials, while the BMW X3 retains a sporty vibe highlighted by the X3 M that is a natural rival for the Stelvio Quadrifoglio.
The Mercedes-Benz GLC also has a performance variant, and every GLC boasts a high-end cabin.
Jaguar even gets into the hi-po game with the F-Pace SVR, which is surprisingly engaging.
The Porsche Macan delivers performance in any model, and, predictably, gets expensive quickly.
