Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio uses a Petrol producing 206kW and 400Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a AWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 5.7 seconds.
The Ford Everest responds with a Diesel V6 Turbo making 184kW and 600Nm, paired to a automatic driving all four wheels.
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio has the clear power advantage at 206kW vs 184kW. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio measures 4,687mm long on a 2,818mm wheelbase, 227mm shorter than the Ford Everest at 4,914mm (2,900mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Ford Everest generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 499L in the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and 259L in the Ford Everest, giving the Alfa Romeo Stelvio a 240L advantage. The Ford Everest seats 7 vs 5.
For towing, the Ford Everest leads with a 3,500kg braked capacity vs 2,300kg. That 1,200kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); both turn in a 11.8 m circle, kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Alfa Romeo Stelvio costs about $1,995 a year (7 L/100km) and fuel for the Ford Everest about $2,423 a year (8.5 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh. That is $428 a year less for the Alfa Romeo Stelvio.
Warranty: 5 years / Unlimited (Alfa Romeo Stelvio) and 5 years / Unlimited (Ford Everest).
Where each one leads
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio: more power (206kW against 184kW), the bigger boot with the seats up (499L against 259L) and lower fuel or energy costs on our assumptions ($1,995 a year against $2,423).
The Ford Everest: the lower starting price ($68,990 against $85,990) and the higher braked towing limit (3,500kg against 2,300kg).
The Verdict

At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Alfa Romeo Stelvio costs about $428 less (7 L/100km against 8.5 L/100km, at $1.90 a litre).

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
