Another comparison between Stelvio 2.2 diesel Q4 and Jaguar F-Pace 2.0D AWD by italian magazine Quattroruote, Stelvio is the winner by far.

Stelvio performance disrupts the 4 cylinder diesel competition, in straight line speed is almost as fast as the 3.0V6 diesels of the competition, faster than the F-Pace S 3.0V6 diesel, on track is almost 5"0 faster than the F-Pace 2.0 Diesel AWD, 4"6 faster than the Audi Q5 2.0TDI 190hp Quattro, 7"0 faster than Mercedes GLC 220d 4Matic, 2"9 seconds faster than the 6 cylinder 3.0l BMW X4 xDrive30d M Sport with staggered tyres.
Stelvio 2.2 diesel Q4 with standard suspension, 235 tyres and an ESP you cannot switch off, is just 0"79 slower than then 3.0V6 Porsche Macan S diesel with the optional staggered tyres(265 front/295 rear), optional PASM suspension, optional Chrono Sport Pack and the ESP switched off.
And all this with the lowest fuel consumption in its segment.
Is a game changer.

The Stelvio may not be as fuel efficient, but its overall performance seems to be ahead of the F-Pace, at least from what I can understand in that comparison. NOt quite sure what the chart is telling me.

 

[rossocompetizione]

No, Stelvio 2.2 diesel Q4 is more fuel efficient than F-Pace 2.0D AWD, actually best in class.

Stelvio 2.2 diesel Q4: 13,3km/l = 31,3mpg

new Audi Q5 2.0TDI Quattro: 1'29"13 (with ESP sport)

Also if you check the graphics F-Pace is better as acoustic comfort, but Stelvio is superior as suspension comfort and vibrations, which means that it has better ride quality.

Thanks for the translations! The Stelvio is the overall winner and they're both similarly priced too. I'm more of a petrol person, but I'm sure its performance is no less spectacular when compared to a petrol F-Pace.

 

[Khan22]

Other than that, I mean overall just looking at the two, The Stelvio looks gosh darn gorgeous !!

 

[Fiver]

The extra cargo space is a bonus, but it really won't be the deciding factor even if there's less space than the F-Pace. That's what roof racks are for. What matters is performance as those numbers can't be easily changed.

 

[Khan22]

Marginal differences in space would definitely be looked over by the majority of people.

 

[Fiver]

The Stelvio also has one extra gear with the automatic compared to the F-Pace, meaning better fuel economy and less shift shock.

 

[Khan22]

That'll definitely come in real handy on those longer highway trips. Drop it into high gear, cruise on, and relax a little bit.

 

[rossocompetizione]

They use both the same automatic ZF 8HP, but the Alfa version is the best by far.

 

[Khan22]

If they have the same automatic transmission, how come the Alfa has an extra gear? Wouldn't that make it a different model of transmission?

It doesn't have an extra gear.

 

[poormansferrari]

Last I heard that ZF 8HP shifts like butter and helps the Giulia be a true drivers car, enough that you will forget about owning a manual. Just look at what Giulia owners are saying

 

[Khan22]

Ah for the purists, there's no replacing a manual transmission. If there isn't a clutch and a lever to move up and down and side to side... you can't forget about it

 

[poormansferrari]

Well that depends on for what precise reasons you liked having a manual for. If you can't see yourself with out a 3rd pedal and without a shifter for that extra engagement then of course. But a product higher up the scale like this, moving away from manual is a bit easier.

 

[Khan22]

Extra engagement is almost always the most important reason for driving a manual, that's not even questionable.

Typically going SUV though, you grow more in to terms of not having a manual transmission and being okay with it. The vast majority of people do whether or not higher end or "average level"

 

[ilhatch]

With more practical cars like SUVs and Crossovers, I assume most drivers won't care if there's a manual option and may even prefer automatic. Then there are more performance orientated vehicles that can go on track like the Giulia QV, though it seems like there isn't a large demand for it in certain markets like the U.S. That's why the states aren't getting the manual transmission Giulia.
