We once said of the Macan: “it’s the quickest, best-driving SUV on the planet”. That, at least, is no longer true. If that phrase resonates with you, if you want a half price Urus, the boastability of it all, then the Stelvio is it. It’s the cooler car. But then consider the compromises required, the inherent flaws. It’s a less competent one car solution than the Macan, and that’s surely the aim of these cars. If driving enjoyment
really matters, you won’t be shopping here at all, you’d be looking at a Giulia QV or a fast estate. Come to think of it, why aren’t you? I would, given a straight choice. C63? RS4 even? Don’t mind if I do.
