How it scores for you10 scores
Drives like a sports sedan on stilts - genuinely thrilling for an SUV - but cramped in back and saddled with Alfa's reliability reputation.
Reliability38

Recalled somewhat more often than cars of the same model years; 3 of its 18 recalls were serious. About 6% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -10 points for its wider reputation.

Safety50

Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.

Running costs23

About $3,200 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 23% of cars we track.

Cargo & utility26

18.5 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 26% of other SUVs we track.

Passenger space48

Snug rear quarters and 18.5 cu ft cargo put it at the small end of compact luxury SUVs.

Driving fun78

Giulia-derived chassis makes it one of the best-steering SUVs ever sold; QF versions are outright ferocious.

Tech45

Same dated infotainment as the Giulia; improved after 2020 but still behind.

Comfort55

Firm but livable; cabin execution trails the price point.

Value retention70

SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.

Capability58

Rated to tow 3,000 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
