Screens and driver aids are easiest to judge from the driver’s seat. Pick a Tonale, Giulia or Stelvio, and we’ll set it up for a drive.
Alfa Romeo technology is built around the driver. Every 2026 model pairs a touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital cluster and smartphone integration with a full set of driver assistance features.
The sections below cover what each system does, how the models differ and what to check when you shop.
All three models share the same core layout: a digital cluster behind the wheel and a center touchscreen with navigation. The biggest differences are screen size and how you control it.

Choosing between the SUVs? Tonale vs. Stelvio covers the differences beyond tech.
In the Giulia and Stelvio, you can control the 8.8-inch screen by touch or with the rotary controller on the center console. The dial lets you scroll menus without reaching for the dash, which is easier on the move.
The Tonale’s 10.25-inch touchscreen is larger, with customizable widgets on the home screen. With Alfa Connect services, navigation can pull in real-time traffic and weather, and you can send a destination from your phone to the car.
The compact screen size is deliberate, part of the driver-first design covered in our guide to Alfa Romeo interiors.
Yes. Every 2026 Alfa Romeo supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so your maps, music, messages and calls appear on the center screen.
Depending on the model and year, you connect wirelessly or with a USB cable.
The 12.3-inch display behind the steering wheel replaces traditional gauges. The Giulia and Stelvio offer three layouts to choose from.
The Tonale’s cluster uses Alfa Romeo’s telescope-style “cannocchiale” design, a nod to classic Alfa gauges. If Driver Attention Alert senses fatigue, a steaming espresso cup appears in the display.
Alfa Connect links your Alfa Romeo to your smartphone or smartwatch. On equipped vehicles, you can lock and unlock the doors, control the lights and climate, and check vehicle health from anywhere.
In South Florida, remote climate control means you can cool the cabin before you walk out to the car. Alfa Connect also includes SOS Call, theft alarm alerts and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, though some services require a paid subscription.
Every 2026 Alfa Romeo includes adaptive cruise control and traffic sign recognition. The Giulia and Stelvio add standard blind spot monitoring and forward collision warning.
Available Active Driving Assist combines adaptive cruise with lane centering to help steer, brake and accelerate. In stop-and-go traffic on I-95 or US-1, it takes much of the strain out of the commute.
Active Driving Assist
Active Driving Assist is a driver aid, not a self-driving system.

On the Tonale, it comes in the Active Assist Package with a surround-view camera and park assist. On the Giulia and Stelvio, it’s part of an available package, so check the window sticker.
Alfa Romeo’s tech changed significantly over the years, so the model year tells you which screens a pre-owned car has.
