Alfa Romeo is one of the brands in the automotive industry that isn’t rushing with the adoption of electric vehicles. The Italians will actually skip the PHEV phase for its two core models – the Giulia and Stelvio – because their platforms weren’t designed to support plug-in technologies. As such, their range-topping variants are still powered by combustion engines with no electric support.
For some, the 2.9-liter V6 twin-turbo engine under the hood of the Stelvio Quadrifoglio might be a little too old-school considering the current trends in the performance segment. However, we will surely miss the good old six-cylinder mill when it gets discontinued and replaced by a powertrain consisting of an electric motor, possibly with the next-generation Stelvio.
