Is the 2021 Audi Q5 Sline better than Alfa Romeo Stelvio TI Sport? Or is the Stelvio the new king?

2021 Audi Q5 Sline vs Alfa Romeo Stelvio TI Sport, best luxury SUV?
In this video I compared the 2021 Audi Q5 to the new comer Alfa Romeo Stelvio to find out which one is the best luxury SUV. Can the Alfa Romeo Stelvio be the best choice or is the Audi Q5 still the king?

I just bought an Audi Q5 for my wife. It's smooth, solid, high-tech, and luxurious, and all-around nice car that feels effortless in how it soaks up the road. For me, though, I bought myself an Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Sport, the sport sedan version of the Stelvio. My commute to work has never been more fun and every single day the car puts a smile on my face!

[@NOrlando952]

I love my Giulia TI Sport.

[@GavinF003]

I currently have a 2017 Giulia Ti. Bought it earlier this year and have to say it is hands down the best care I've driven. So smooth and elegant. I got a stelvio loaner while sunroof got fixed couple months ago and lately the realization of "ok with small kids maybe a car still isn't the best vehicle option at this point". Went to check out a 2021 stelvio today while getting an oil change in giulia (exact same coloring as this video actually) and said yup she's mine. I knew I couldn't leave the alfa romeo brand and I absolutely love how these vehicles drive. I pick it up this coming Friday 😂

I'd never, never ever, ever again give my Stelvio away for another SUV. Something that is rarely outspoken and said: The Stelvio has a 50:50 weight-distribution on both axis', weights far under 2000 kg and - the best - has a 12:1 steering ratio - even lower than racing cars like Porsche 911. And this direct steering, boosted by the 50:50 weight distribution, featured by the low weight make this SUV being driven like a Go-Kart. Trust me.

Stelvio looks so much better then the Audi. ( It´s really like Monica Bellucci against Angela Merkel , LOL ). If you want a car to drive , then you chose the Stelvio.

You will never know how much more fun it is to drive a Stelvio. I own a Stelvio since 1 year and I tell you: the steering , the automatic gearbox, the power of this car makes me WANT to drive it more and more. It fits around me like a glove. I had no problems at all. I drove an Audi as well, but after you play some time with the infotainment you have the impression that there is nothing more to discover and the car becomes boring.

[@fulviovalenziano4579]

I agree 100% with the review. I’m driving the second sStelvio in 3 yrs and I had no issues. It’s the 210hp diesel but electronics is basically the same across the whole range. The only issue I had with the first one was with an engine problem that was sometimes signaled by the board computer that eventually I found out to be caused by poor quality AdBkue. Apart for this no issues.i had colleagues driving VW, Audi, BMW with serious issues that required immediate service . Unlike my Stelvio. So those that keep commenting about reliability should think twice. According to a survey in the UK Alfa Giulia and Stelvio have been found more reliable than most German brands. It’s perfect ? No I would still do a better job on some materials in the interiors, but apart from that I have no remarks. And if Audi has better infotainment, we should keep in mind that it’s way cheaper to develop some software fro a fancy touch screen than a state of the art chassis like the Stelvio has. All aluminum body panels and carbon transmission shaft absorb a larger slice for the budget than a silly touch screen and power steering column. But, again, if I was to buy something different I would definitely put the Q5 at the top of my list

They will for sure, because a bigger improvement for this model is expected for 2022. Probably a refreshed look, LED matrix front headlights (current ones got top rating because they're great, directional and all that, but they're still bi-xenon), better infotainment ...and hybrid variants with higher combined power. I'm expecting a ~400hp model in between this TI Sport and the Quadrifoglio. ...but I've decided to go for this model already. It's mature and it's awsome.

I have Stelvio with that engine. One thing not mentioned here, where it excels the most compared to many other suvs is the handling and the grip it has when cornering.

[@fulviovalenziano4579]

Well actually it’s not so many. I remember another video showing the share by country of the components. 55% are from Italy. The rest from Germany, France, Japan, US and Canada. Where they are made is not that important. What matters is quality standards and assurance. I have many contacts with some guys that work at the Alfa plant in Cassino and I was told that quality checks and processes are up to the highest standards with nothing to envy to German makes. Some weeks ago a customer of mine said a stupid but true phrase. At least for Europe: this car is fantastic. If she had a BMW badge on it competitors wouldn’t sell any more cars. Unfortunately I have to agree. Germans have built up a reputation especially in the past 15 years and now just live on that. But trust me, I speak often to ex BMW o Mercedes owners and all say quality and reliability are not what they used to be. Ask a Mercedes owner if the fancy MBUX is so great....

@@theLEGOguy22 I have a 2.0TDi Q5... and they run forever. But you are mistaken about the 2.0t oil issue. It is a poor feature (on some 2.0t's)... but they still last forever, and there's plenty of proof of that.

My mom drives one and it is so comfortable I love it

The Stelvio is gorgeous and driving excitement. The Audi is better built, better fit and finish, better tech. I'll take the Stelvio. 🤓🖖

Good job..but I want to ask about reliability and running cost

In case you don't know, most manufacturers are more car assemblers than manufacturers. Way too many parts are shared between different brands. From water pumps, belts, cables, to sensors and electronic boards everywhere. Here are a few examples for the Stelvio 280hp from this review: Brakes are fly-by-wire by German Continental company with Italian Brembo mechanical parts. The Gearbox is a German ZF 8HP known in some other brands by 'sometronic name'. Autonomous Driving, radar, adaptive Cruise Control, parking and some other sensors are from Bosch. Radiator and Alternator are from the Japanese Denso (Toyota group) ...I'm not sure, but I suspect the ABS module is too. Turbo is from Garret (previously known as Honeywell) The list goes on. Basically the same happen with every car manufacturer. It's cheap to buy stuff from specialized manufacturers than to build them in house. I would say, the highest probability of failure comes from the Bosch components. Sensors are always sensitive parts.

I have a Giulia but I might get a Stelvio in a few years for the space. I drove a Stelvio as a loaner. It's very quiet and drives ok in the standard modes. However, if you throw it in D mode and start to mess around with it, it definitely comes alive big time. The only thing that I don't love is how small the rear window is, but that's about it?

[@erikh1041]

Small windows are common for most cars these days, so really can’t avoid it

[@brianellis1257]

This thing is quick, nice and agile!! On a straight road, the natural home of all Audi’s, don’t like corners.....
