Comparison Overview

The 2025 Alfa Romeo Stelvio arrives bursting with Italian fire, boasting a potent 280 hp, instantly establishing itself as the performance-oriented choice against the more composed 2026 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque.

While the Evoque offers a slightly more approachable starting price at $49,900 compared to the Stelvio's $48,995, the Alfa demands premium fuel, unlike the Land Rover's recommendation. The Stelvio is the larger vehicle overall, measuring 184.6 inches long, versus the Evoque's compact 172.1 inches, which translates into a notable difference in cargo volume: 18.5 cu ft versus 21.4 cu ft favoring the Evoque.
