How this compares
At 25 MPG combined, the 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio ranks 4th of 9 small SUVs (2WD) EPA rated for 2020 — exactly the 25 MPG median for that group.
That places it a little below the middle of its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $3,050, $250 more than the $2,800 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $15,250, a $1,250 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 359 grams per mile — about 5.4 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
