2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio (overview)

As the market becomes oversaturated with faceless crossovers and silent electric vehicles, the 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio is a necessary evil. Its bodacious looks border on salacious compared with cookie-cutter alternatives, and its 505-hp twin-turbo V-6 makes noises that easily offends bystanders. Its delicate steering wheel is endlessly enjoyable to employ whenever the crossover is dissecting ribbons of road, and its standard all-wheel-drive system helps launch the Italian-bred SUV with malicious intent. Sure, it's about as reliable as a prison snitch and most rivals are more refined. Still, the 2020 Stelvio Quadrifoglio (QF for short) supplies unrivaled passion and derives its performance bloodline from Ferrari.

Stelvio Quadrifoglio, $82,095.

The sole engine is a hypnotic twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V-6 that makes 505 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. It pairs exclusively with a paddle-shifted eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels. One version we tested rocketed from zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, making it one of the quickest SUVs we've ever tested. The most impressive trait of this hot crossover—along with its stunning body—is an ethereal chassis that rides as well as it turns. A set of standard adaptive dampers allows you to select the firmness of the ride, but only the bumpiest roads diminish the ride quality. Otherwise, the Stelvio QF corners with remarkable poise and rewards the driver with communicative steering feedback. The sticky performance tires and beefy brakes on our test vehicle helped haul the QF from 70 mph to zero in 157 feet, performance befitting that of a sports car.

The 2020 Stelvio QF's interior has some build-quality flaws, but its leather-covered and contrast-stitched surfaces are much improved versus the materials found on the regular Stelvio. The QF's supportive front seats, nearly perfect driving position, and enormous column-mounted paddle shifters ensure the driver never feels too far from the racetrack. It also has many desirable standard features such as 14-way power-adjustable front seats, ambient interior lighting, a heated steering wheel and front-seat cushions, and more. The Stelvio has a comfortable back seat, but headroom and interior cubby storage are unremarkable.

2021 Porsche Macan (overview)

With a refined chassis, strong turbocharged engines, and a comfortable cabin, the 2021 Porsche Macan is dual-purpose package unlike any other vehicle on the road today. It's equally at home tearing it up at a track day as it is running Sunday errands. Performance is impressive, and the Macan's suspension is poise personified: taut while cornering but not so firm that it sacrifices ride comfort on the work commute. It's this flexibility that earned the Macan a place on our 2021 10Best list. All-wheel drive is standard, and buyers can pick from one of three turbocharged engines.

Pricing and Which One to Buy
Base, $53,450
S, $61,550
GTS, $73,450.

We have yet to test the turbocharged four-cylinder that powers the base Macan, but we have strapped our test gear to the Macan S with its updated 348-hp twin-turbo V-6. The result is an impressive zero-to-60-mph time of 4.7 seconds, which is not only slightly quicker than before but also speedier than the times posted by both the Audi SQ5 and the Jaguar F-Pace S. It's objectively unnecessary for an SUV to launch off the line as quickly as the Macan does, but that doesn't stop us from enjoying the ride. The GTS model is powered by a 375-hp twin-turbo V-6 and delivered an even quicker 3.9-second zero-to-60-mph time.

The Macan's standard interior fittings are a disappointment in a crossover of this price and provenance, and it's expensive to outfit one in a manner that befits the Porsche crest. There's also less space for back-seat passengers in the Macan than in most competitors. The Macan's power-adjustable seats for the driver and front-seat passenger, while comfortable, are the only pieces of standard interior equipment that feel luxurious. It's possible to have the whole interior draped in leather, which would partly address the issue, but the $2330 that Porsche asks for just covering the center console in cowhide feels like price gouging, even for Porsche.
