This is the new Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio - Alfa’s super-SUV and Porsche Macan Turbo rival has received a range of cosmetic and technology upgrades as part of an update for 2020.
The revised model has been revealed alongside a similarly refreshed version of the BMW M3 baiting Giulia Quadrofiglio super saloon.
Exterior changes are relatively minor and include new LED rear light clusters with a darkened lens cover, a new 21-inch alloy wheel design and a gloss black finish to some of the car’s badging. Three new exterior colours have also been added to the options list: 6C Villa d’Este Red, GT Junior Ocra, and Montreal Green.
A new line of accessories has also been made available on the Stelvio Quadrifoglio from Mopar, offering buyers a carbon fibre front grille, mirror caps and a rear spoiler for the first time.

Inside, changes are equally minor and extend to a new leather steering wheel and gear selector, while red or green seat belts can be chosen over the standard black items. Alfa has also updated the 8.8-inch central infotainment system. It features a new interface and a performance menu that allows owners of the top-spec Quadrifoglio to view turbo pressure, power usage and component temperatures on the move.
A range of new safety systems have also been added to the MY20 Stelvio, including lane keep assist, active blind spot assist, active cruise control, traffic jam assist and highway Assist - the latter three combining to enable level 2 semi-autonomous driving functions for the first time.
The powertrain and chassis of the Stelvio Quadrifoglio remains as it was. The 2.9-litre V6 bi-turbo develops 503bhp and 600Nm of torque. Power is fed to Alfa’s Q4 all wheel drive and torque vectoring system via an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
Prices should stay broadly in line with the current iteration’s £71,880 price tag when the refreshed Stelvio Quadrifoglio goes on sale in the UK later this year.
Check out these new cars due in 2020...
The Aston Martin Vantage has lost its roof and none of its potency in Roadster guise.
BMW’s first all-electric SUV is the iX3 and it promises 273 miles of range from a 282bhp motor.
Mercedes claims its new electric luxury passenger van can cover 250 miles on a single charge. And, with a rapid-charging function, the EQV can reach 62 miles of range in just 15 minutes.
Toyota will be expecting much praise for this inspired hot hatch developed by the team responsible for the manufacturer’s World Rally Championship cars. With a three-door body, a bespoke suspension set-up, clever four-wheel-drive system and a 257bhp 1.6-l
Mercedes’ most luxurious SUV uses a turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 and 48-volt hybrid system, with lots of customisation options
The S-Class luxury limo will be available with a familiar exterior design, but lots of new on-board tech - including a Tesla-style screen on the centre console.
Yes, there’s still the famous ash-wood frame, but the Plus Four is built on a new bonded-aluminium platform and is powered by a BMW-sourced, 255bhp four-cylinder 2.0-litre petrol engine.
Like night follows day, the new BMW 3 Series will be followed by a searing hot M3 version. We’re expecting 510bhp from the twin-turbo straight-six.
With new hybrid engine tech and a host of safety features, the tardis-like Honda Jazz just got a bit smarter.
Rugged 4x4 looks, matched with the latest EV technology, Jeep will be hoping for big things from its all-wheel drive Renegade PHEV
