This large SUV is no ordinary car; apart from its bulk and mass (2 tons and 3 quintals), it is fitted with a Diesel engine that is more unique than rare. For we are talking about a modern common-rail V8 with a displacement of no less than 4 liters and many valves.

I believe this Stelvio is the best performing SUV with an engine displacement around 2-liter (Diesel) cars, at least compared to other cars of this size. Its performance is already great at factory settings because of the chassis (which resembles the Giulia), the suspension, and the powerful brakes. The 2200 common-rail diesel pushes well with its 210 horsepower, and the engine torque is also not bad for this displacement.

We have already talked about how to tune the Audi Q5, partly because it is one of the most popular and best-selling SUVs in recent years in direct competition with the Mercedes GLC (which we have already talked about in terms of chip tuning modules). We have talked both about how to boost the performance of Audi turbodiesels and how to tune turbo-petrols, including those mounted on Q5s.

The BMW X5 was one of the first attractive SUVs. We remember 20 years ago numerous X5 tunings. The X5 was powered by the inline 6-cylinder 3-liter common-rail with 184hp. It was the engine that made its appearance in the E39 5 Series and, at the time, was the most powerful 3-liter automotive diesel in the world.

The most popular engines on the road for Mercedes GLC (at least for now since both new diesel and gasoline engines have arrived) use the well-known 2200 diesel engine that on the GLCs has been offered with a single turbocharger (170hp and 400Nm of maximum torque) and bi-stage supercharger (204hp and 500Nm of maximum torque).
