Alfa Romeo Australia have released details of the updated Stelvio starting at $76,450 and the Giulia starting at $68,450.

Both Stelvio and Giulia have been Gay Car Boys favourites for both looks and drive. Updates are fairly modest but it highlights the fact that Alfa got it right first go.

The cabin highlights a new widescreen 12.3″ TFT drover’s screen stands out giving more real estate for the essentials while still allowing navigation and other tasty tidbits.

Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio come with a 4-cylinder, 2.0 280hp (206kW) turbocharged engine with MultiAir electro-hydraulic variable valve actuation technology and Direct Injection system with 200 bar injection pressure.

As previously, AWD Alfa Romeo Stelvio has Q4 technology. The AWD system features active torque distribution system which monitors grip conditions and driver input. You may not notice the detail, but the drive certainly feels sure-footed and spritely.

Veloce trim uses Q2, a self-locking rear differential, that offers constant wheel control and slip reduction.
