Stelvio – All about car

2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia QuadrifoglioDerek McNaughton / Driving Alfa Romeo is recalling almost new 22,000 Stelvio crossovers and Giulia sedans, including 935 in Canada, because the fuel gauges could indicate theres more gas tank in the tank than there really is.Model year 2018 and 2019 cars and trucks are affected, specifically more than 11,000 Giulia sedans and more than 10,000 Stelvio SUVs in the U.S. Fewer than 1,000 cars are affected in Canada.Affected vehicles may suddenly stall when they run out of gasoline unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash. Italian owners of the cars and trucks found this out firsthand, and its how Alfa Romeo first learned of the issue, in fact.Faulty software in the vehicles means the fuel gauge may display one or two notches higher than actual; the issue is much more likely to show up if the car is parked for more than 30 minutes on a steep hill with a fuel tank filled between a half and three-quarters.When parked that long at an incline of more than 10 percent, the software will read the fuel level, assume the tank has been refilled, and re-calibrate itself incorrectly.Affected vehicles will have new software installed starting September

An aero package developed with help from Sauber adds a unique front splitter, more prominent rear spoiler and wider side skirts. Inside the cabin, unique stylistic details include Sparco racing seats with red stitching and carbonfibre shells, and carbonfibre inserts in the gearknob and steering wheel. Just ten Giulia and three Stelvio models will initially be made available for UK customers, with prices starting from £89,500 for the Giulia saloon and £96,500 for the Stelvio SUV. Both cars will be taking part in the Goodwood hillclimb at this year’s Festival. The Alfa Romeo Racing edition cars were first revealed at the Geneva motor show earlier this year alongside the Stelvio Ti, equipped with a 276bhp 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, and a Giulia Veloce Ti in Misano Blue featuring extensive use of carbonfibre. Alfa also used that event to announce trim level revisions and a rejigging of the engine range for the 2019 Alfa Giulietta: the Super, the Speciale and the Veloce. There is now a choice of three different Euro 6D-compliant engines – a 1.4-litre 118bhp turbo petrol and 1.6-litre 118bhp diesel in manual or automatic, plus a 2.0-litre 168bhp diesel available in TCT automatic transmission only. The entry-level Super comes with cruise control, dual air-con, front foglights and rear parking sensors as standard; side skirts, sports seats, tinted windows and an oversized exhaust come with the Speciale; and the top-of-the-range Veloce includes 18in dark alloy wheels, twin exhausts, Alcantara and fabric seats, electric mirrors, auto headlights and wipers, and Uconnect
