Alfa Romeo’s female-focused SUV, the Stelvio, was introduced with all-wheel-drive as standard across its range. But now as it moves into another year of production, the 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is now offered in a RWD variant that helps the SUV become cheaper and lighter than before.
It may not be the first small, affordable or capable small SUV, the Renault Duster is however the people’s car of the crossover era. Bridging the gap between dedicated compact off-roaders like the Suzuki Jimny and small sensible saloons pitched at emerging markets, the Duster made the practical SUV an accessible option for budget-minded drivers, with 2.45 million sold since its 2010 launch as a Dacia and 2012 Middle East introduction as a Renault.
