2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vs 2022 Acura MDX SUV

2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vs. 2022 Acura MDX

Alfa Romeo vehicles are renowned for their complex and elegant nature that is a trademark of pure Italian design. The 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio maintains this mystique with its gorgeous exterior and modern, yet stylized interior. Add on the sporty capabilities of the Stelvio, and Denver Metro drivers have an SUV that can incite a sense of wonder while behind the wheel. Competition such as the 2022 Acura MDX tries to match up favorably with the Stelvio. However, they fail to do so in certain metrics.  

Performance

An ideal blend of reliable sportiness and efficiency is present in the 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio. The quality precision is made possible with the turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine under its hood. Sitting at 280 horsepower and paired with a responsive eight-speed automatic transmission, the Stelvio is an SUV for the performance-minded customer. The transmission is also shiftable for those who want more direct input from their vehicle’s performance. Meanwhile, the 2022 Acura MDX comes with a 3.6L V6 engine that outputs 290 horsepower. The engine is accompanied by a 10-speed automatic transmission. The standard drivetrain for the Stelvio is RWD, while the MDX is FWD. Both SUVs have AWD available for enhanced handling potential. The smaller, yet competitive engine of the Stelvio means it is more efficient than the MDX. EPA estimates for the Alfa Romeo are 22 MPG city/29 MPG highway compared to the 19 MPG city/26 MPG highway for the Acura.  

Interior Features

Thanks to an interior that sports a classic Italian feel and is loaded with modern amenities, the 2022 Stelvio is a great option for the discerning family. While both the Stelvio and the MDX have multiway adjustability and heated functionality for the front seating as standard features, only the Stelvio has a heated steering wheel standard. This means that the Stelvio provides better winter comfort in Colorado from the get-go. Both SUVs offer similar ranges of multimedia applications in their standard setups. These include both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility for applicable smartphones. However, the Stelvio gets a standard convenience option that the MDX gets through an additional package. That is the integrated navigation system and gives even the base-level trim of the Stelvio much-welcomed versatility.   

Safety Features

Ensuring that their SUVs are well-suited for the modern family, both the 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio and the 2022 Acura MDX have plenty of driver-assistance technology. Compared to other SUVs on the market today, both the Stelvio and the MDX stand out with their inclusion of standard Adaptive Cruise Control. This is often an optional or higher-end level feature on most other SUVs. Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Departure Warning are among the additional safety implements that the two SUVs share as standard features as well.
