The Alfa Romeo Tonale reaches a segment in full swing with two ways of understanding electrification, both hybrid and plug-in hybrid
The Alfa Romeo Tonale represents a metamorphosis of the brand, a key moment that captures a before and after. With this model, the “Biscione” is resolutely evolving towards an electrified mobility that will culminate in the transformation of Alfa Romeo into an all-electric company in 2027. A transformation that does not renounce the identity of the brand, but rather an evolution to A new age.
With the Tonale, Alfa Romeo enters the world of electrification with innovative, unique and exclusive solutions that strengthen the brand’s DNA to reinvent the sports car in the 21st century.
The new vision of the SUV embodied by the Alfa Romeo Tonale stands out for its spectacular design, which is almost identical to that of the concept car on which it is based. His style represents the perfect synthesis between the brand’s prestigious history and the development of a new aesthetic and new canons. Its innovative ‘3+3’ headlights and bend-free taillights create an unmistakable light signature.
Aimed at a young, urban and dynamic customer, the Alfa Romeo Tonale offers a distinctive, sensual and avant-garde design, celebrating new stylistic canons that are destined to remain benchmarks in the development of the Alfa Romeo range: 5- holed rims, screen on the frame ‘telescopic’ instrument panel, three-spoke sports steering wheel and sinusoidal headlights. Its compact dimensions (4.53 m long, 1.84 m wide and 1.6 m high) thus encompass the uniqueness of Italian design and the original and contemporary style typical of Alfa Romeo, in a synthesis between a legacy of prestige and a vision of the future.
The interior bears the mark of Alfa Romeo’s history in the world of competition and sports cars. The design is driver-oriented and also offers maximum comfort to all occupants. The combination of noble materials with the strength of aluminum and the warmth and softness of leather and Alcantara reflects the personality of a young, urban and dynamic client.
The Tonale’s interior evokes real emotions, not to mention state-of-the-art technology, ensuring a connected and comfortable experience, while always keeping sporty driving pleasure at the forefront.
The launch of the Alfa Romeo Tonale means that electrification becomes one of the brand’s core values. Thus, the development of this new form of mobility contributes to the unmistakably Italian design, technical perfection and sporting performance that have become synonymous with Alfa Romeo since 1910.
In this sense, the Alfa Romeo Tonale enters the market with two levels of electrification: hybrid and Q4 plug-in hybrid, both at the best level in their segment and prepared to offer an authentic electrified experience. The Tonale debuts with a 130CV Hybrid version and front-wheel drive, with a new 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine delivering a maximum torque of 240Nm, combined with a 48V, 15kW, 55Nm torque electric motor and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Also available is the Tonale Hybrid VGT with 160 hp and front-wheel drive, which is additionally equipped with a variable geometry turbocharger. The top of the range is represented by the 275 hp Tonale Plug-in Hybrid Q4, a powerful four-wheel drive version with 80 km of zero-emissions autonomy.
This SUV includes premium connectivity and infotainment systems, designed to perform over-the-air updates and integrated with Amazon Alexa. Its two 22.5-inch TFT screens are a benchmark in the segment. In terms of safety, the driver assistance functions provide level 2 autonomy.
This dedication to pioneering technology is very present in the Alfa Romeo Tonale, with enhancements that enhance both the driving pleasure and the on-board experience while protecting resale value. This innovative model is the first car in the world with a digital NFT certificate. Based on blockchain technology, it identifies the vehicle from the moment of purchase and evolves in parallel with the vehicle’s life cycle and usage.
The Alfa Romeo Tonale is a 100% “Made in Italy” SUV, manufactured at the Giambattista Vico factory, very close to Naples, where it has an exclusive assembly line with technological levels and automation that make it one of the centers of the most advanced production in the world.
