The Stelvio gets two engine options, a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that powers the first three trims or the 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine, which is exclusive to the top-of-the-line Quadrifoglio trim. With the base 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, you can expect an output of 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque, letting this SUV reach a top speed of 232 km/h. Upgrading to the 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine brings 505 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, increasing the Stelvio's top speed to 285 km/h. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission that is finely tuned for quick and smooth shifting.
On the other hand, the Acura RDX comes with only one engine option, a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that can produce 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Although those figures are imposing for an SUV of its class, the Stelvio's base engine still performs considerably better. The Acura's engine achieves a fuel economy rating of 11.0 L/100 km in the city and 8.6 L/100 km on the highway. Since the Acura RDX's engine has less power, it should be more efficient, but the Stelvio's engine gets a fuel economy rating of 10.3 L/100 km in the city and 8.1 L/100 km on the highway.
