The Alfa Romeo Stelvio has achieved a coveted five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.

With a score of 97% for the protection of adult occupants, Alfa Romeo’s first ever SUV claimed the highest score in its category.

Euro NCAP commended the Stelvio for the structural efficiency of its rigid and lightweight body shell, constructed from high-tech materials such as carbon fibre, aluminium and aluminium composite. The model is also equipped with safety systems including a segment-first Integrated Brake System, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Monitoring, Forward Collision Warning, and Autonomous Emergency Brake system.

Alfa Romeo have excelled in Euro NCAP tests of late, with the award-winning Giulia sports saloon last year scoring the highest occupant protection rating ever achieved, despite the introduction of a more stringent rating system in 2015.

The Alfa Romeo Stelvio goes on sale in the UK in the Autumn with pricing and UK specifications to be announced shortly.
