While staying true to its DNA of Italian sportiness since 1910, the Tonale marks a radical evolution of the brand.
The final design of the Tonale is remarkably faithful to the ‘concept’ car on which it is based, thanks to the great work done by the Alfa Romeo Centro Stile. Aimed at a young, urban and dynamic customer, the new model offers a distinctive, sensual and avant-garde design, extolling the stylistic canons destined to remain benchmarks in the development of the Alfa Romeo range: wheels with five holes, screen on the ‘telescopic’ instruments, three-spoke sports steering wheel and sinusoidal headlamps.
Its compact dimensions (4.53 meters long, 1.84 meters wide and 1.6 meters high) thus encompass the individuality of Italian design and the original and contemporary style typical of Alfa Romeo, in a synthesis between a legacy of prestige and a vision for the future.
You can see the return of stylistic features already part of the history of motoring, such as the ‘GT Line’ that runs from the rear to the headlights, recalling the shapes of the Giulia GT and interspersed with wide and elegant volumes , which recall emblematic models such as the 8C Competizione. The front features the inimitable ‘Tri-lobed’ and Alfa Romeo’s signature ‘Scudetto’, which takes center stage.
The taillights share the same design features as the headlamps and form a sine curve that wraps completely around the rear of the car, creating a truly unique and distinctive light signature.
The car’s sensuality and dynamism are also reflected in the all-encompassing rear window, which pays tribute to the 8C Competizione, and in the design of the alloy wheels that reproduce the Alfa Romeo ‘dial dial’ style.
Inspired by Alfa Romeo’s racing history, the interior is highly driver-oriented, with easy access to all controls for a safe and unrivaled driving experience. The same concern is given to passengers, who are given the ideal space to travel in comfort. All this results in an environment designed for the residents, characterized by meticulous attention to detail combined with a constant pursuit of the highest quality.
The interior of the Tonale evokes real emotions, not to mention state-of-the-art technology, ensuring a connected and comfortable experience, preserving the pleasure of a sporty driving style that is always at the top.
Alfa Romeo interprets the use of software and connectivity to enhance the driver’s driving experience, which is and remains the center of attention. That’s why the Tonale incorporates the most advanced technology to ensure a connected and comfortable experience, while maintaining the typical Alfa Romeo driving pleasure.
The new highlights of the Alfa Romeo Tonale are the functions integrated with the Amazon Alexa voice assistant, so that one can always feel “at home” in his car, making the daily experience even easier and more comfortable.
You can also receive constant updates on the vehicle’s status, know the charge or fuel level, search for points of interest, find the last location of the car, send remote lock and unlock commands and much more from the comfort of your home. Lake. . “Alexa” can also be used to ask you to add items to your shopping list, find a nearby restaurant, or adjust the lighting or heating connected to your home automation system, all while on the road. concentrates.
The Tonale is equipped with a completely new infotainment system as standard. With a customizable Android operating system and 4G connectivity with Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, it also offers content, functionality and services that are always up to date.
This system includes a 12.3” fully digital display, a 10.25” main touchscreen and a smooth and advanced multitasking interface, keeping everything in view without distracting from the road. With a total of 22.5″, the two large Full TFT screens are best-in-class in the segment.
For Alfa Romeo, the Tonale marks a natural entry into the world of electrification, but true to its bold approach, Alfa Romeo sets a paradigm: electrification must be at the service of the brand and its DNA, with a mission to reinvent the 21st to find. century sportsmanship.
Two levels of electrification, Hybrid (MHEV) and Plug-in Hybrid: the Tonale introduces the 160 hp Hybrid VGT (Variable-Geometry Turbo) engine, exclusive to Alfa Romeo. The variable geometry turbocharger in combination with the Alfa Romeo TCT 7-speed dual clutch transmission and the 48-volt, 15 kW, 55 Nm ‘P2’ electric motor allows the 1.5-litre petrol engine to power the wheels even when the combustion engine stops. Alfa Romeo has chosen this technical solution to provide a true electric experience. The transmission allows starting and driving in electric mode at low speeds, cruising and parking. A 130 hp hybrid version will also be available at launch, again in combination with the 7-speed Alfa Romeo TCT and 48-volt ‘P2’ electric motor.
The Tonale features Non-Fungible Token (NFT) technology, a true innovation in the automotive industry. Alfa Romeo is the first car manufacturer to link a car with a digital NFT certificate. The technology is based on the concept of a ‘blockchain map’, a confidential and unalterable record of the main life stages of a specific vehicle. This distinguishing feature, which is not on board the vehicle but can be used immediately and is durable, emphasizes the innovative character of Alfa Romeo. With the permission of the customer, the NFT records the vehicle data and generates a certificate that can be used as a guarantee that proper maintenance has been carried out on the vehicle, with a positive effect on the residual value. In the used car market, NFT certification represents an additional source of credibility that owners or dealers can count on. On the other hand, buyers will have peace of mind when choosing their car.
