With the best-in-class power, the standard engine for the Alfa Romeo Stelvio comes with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder producing 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque, but don't let this tremendous amount of power fool you, as this engine still achieves excellent fuel efficiency. With Alfa Romeo's extensive research and tuning for its engines, they were able to get a fuel economy rating of 10.8 L/100 km in the city and 8.3 L/100 km on the highway. Going for the top-of-the-line trim brings a 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged engine that increases output to 505 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, letting this SUV get a maximum speed of 285 km/h.
In comparison, the Lexus RX 350 comes with a 3.5-litre V6 capable of 295 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque, all while achieving a fuel economy rating of 12.2 L/100km in the city and 9.0 L/100 km on the highway. The RX 350's output is slightly higher for horsepower than the Stelvio's base engine, but it lacks torque and fuel efficiency. Also, the NX 300 comes with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder that delivers 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, which is significantly less power than the Stelvio's 2.0-litre engine. You would expect a much better fuel economy rating from this engine. However, instead, it achieves 10.7 L/100 km in the city and 8.5 L/100 km on the highway, making the Stelvio the obvious choice for those looking for the best performance and fuel efficiency.
