The cabin of the Stelvio Quadrifoglio feels as sporty as it gets for an SUV and feels pretty premium to look at as well. The interior design is very attractive with lovely stitching, carbon-fiber interior trims, sporty dials, and a racy steering wheel design. Though there is no compromise made in terms of the materials used, the build quality leaves a bit to be desired. The build quality is not that bad but feels lacking when compared to the premium rivals.
The seats feel very plush and premium with the leather and Alcantara upholstery being offered as standard. The sport seats are firm and very well-bolstered and offer great support when driving aggressively. The space on offer inside the cabin of the Stelvio is pretty tight though and taller occupants will find legroom limiting even at the front. The rear seat is best suited for younger individuals as most adults would find their knees rubbing against the front seats. There are heated seats and steering wheel, seat memory, and many other cabin functions on offer.
Being the top-of-the-line model, it also features various elements like a leather-upholstered dashboard and door trims with all-around carbon fiber inlays. One can choose from a wide range of upholstery colors that can also be opted with contrasting stitching. Other sporty touches include a leather-wrapped instrument panel with accent stitching, a steering wheel with perforated leather inserts, genuine carbon-fiber trim, and aluminum sport pedals. For an added cost, one can also opt for the hands-free liftgate and heated rear seats for added convenience.

The luggage space at the rear is also limited to 18.5 cu-ft which can only be extended to a maximum of 56.5 cu-ft by folding down the rear seat. The Macan too offers similar numbers but the BMW X5 offers the best cargo capacity which is marginally better than the Jaguar F-Pace. The Bimmer is also the most spacious for the passengers as the Jaguar’s sophisticated design limits headroom for its occupants, similar to the Porsche Macan. Some of the interior features in the 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio are:
- 14-Way Power Heated Front seats w/Power 4-Way Driver Lumbar
- 40-20-40 Folding Bench Fold Forward Rear Seat
- Leather & Alcantara Seat Upholstery
- Leather Upholstered Dashboard and Door Trim Insert w/Carbon Fiber inlays
- Tilt/Telescoping Sport Heated Leather Steering Wheel
- Dual Zone Front Automatic Air Conditioning w/Rear Ventilation Ducts & Fan Control
- Memory Settings for Driver Seat and Door Mirrors

What’s there to keep you entertained?
Alfa Romeo introduced a rotary dial last year that complements the 8.8-inch touchscreen well. The screen may not be the largest and might not be the most intuitive to use due to its smaller icons, it offers crisp graphics that are very appealing to look at. There are plenty of technologies on offer which include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, satellite, and HD radios, Bluetooth, and voice commands, along with a powerful 900W Harman/Kardon audio system. That being said, it misses out on a Wi-Fi hotspot while the wireless charging pad costs $300 extra. Some of the infotainment features include:
- An 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- 15-speaker 900W Harman/Kardon audio system
- Built-in Navigation system
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration
- SiriusXM satellite radio
- Bluetooth Wireless Phone Connectivity
- HD Radio
- Voice Activation
