The Quadrifoglio version, fitted with a twin-turbo V6, places it among the highest-performing SUVs in its category. Sold in the United States and Canada, often with the Q4 all-wheel drive suited to North American conditions.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Alfa Romeo modernes (Giulia, Stelvio, Tonale) chaussent généralement des jantes en alliage de grand diamètre, fréquemment de 17 à 20 pouces selon la finition, avec des pneus à profil bas sur les versions sportives. Les versions Quadrifoglio et les finitions haut de gamme montent les plus grands diamètres. Au Québec, l'usage de pneus d'hiver homologués (logo montagne et flocon) est obligatoire en saison froide et fortement recommandé pour ces véhicules à vocation sportive, souvent à propulsion ou intégrale: un jeu hivernal dédié, parfois en diamètre légèrement inférieur pour un meilleur compromis, protège jantes et tenue de route. Vérifier le bon entraxe et l'alésage avant tout achat de jantes; restez sur les dimensions homologuées du constructeur.
