The Alfa Romeo Tonale is Ready for Your Pre-Order
Mid-size crossovers are the most popular segment in the U.S. representing for many car shoppers the perfect cross-section of 5-passenger comfort, utility, and efficiency. Alfa Romeo represents Italian design and performance at its finest. For those who have been waiting for these two to be brought together, Alfa Romeo of Kirkland is pleased to announce that the all-new 2024 Tonale compact luxury crossover is now available for order.
Great Things Come in Small Packages
The Tonale (pronounced ‘Tow-naa-lay’) joins the Alfa Romeo lineup with all the style and panache of the Stelvio in a smaller package. Perhaps surprisingly, all initial Tonale models available for order will have a plug-in hybrid drivetrain and all-wheel drive.
Continuing the Italian engineering tradition of getting a lot out of a little, the plug-in hybrid Tonale is powered by a turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor mounted at the rear axle. Together they deliver 285 horsepower and an estimated 347 lb-ft of torque, all of which is controlled through a 6-speed transmission. That is more power than found in segment rivals such as the BMW X1, Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and Volvo XC40.
With its 15.5-kWh battery, the electric range is expected to be 30 miles, which may be well enough to cover a daily commute without using a drop of gas. After the pure EV miles pass, the Tonale retains enough battery capacity to operate as a hybrid vehicle. The total range with a full charge and full tank is estimated at 320 miles. Maximum towing ability is rated at 2,000 pounds.
The Tonale will be available for order in Ti and Veloce trim levels. The Ti begins with a high complement of features including heated front seats with 12-way power adjustability including 4-way power lumbar support. Along with the 60/40 folding rear seatbacks, the front passenger seat also folds flat to accommodate long cargo.
You’ll find a configurable 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 10.3-inch infotainment touch display which features the Stellantis Uconnect 5 operating system which includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging, and hotspot Internet access.
Safety Features
There is a full complement of standard driver-assist features including:
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Full Speed Forward Collision Warning-Plus and Rear Cross Path Detection
- Cruise Control with Distance Pacing and Traffic Stop-Go
- Lane Keep Assist Lane Keeping Assist
- Lane Keep Assist Lane Departure Warning
- Front Collision Mitigation
The exterior features 18” Black Diamond Cut wheels, a power liftgate, power-folding mirrors, and a bright frame around the signature Alfa Romeo grille.
Key upgrade features of the Veloce include an adaptive suspension system that adjusts according to road conditions or driver preferences. You can control the transmission through column-mounted paddle shifters, as you set in perforated Alcantara seats. The exterior is set apart by 19-inch Diamond Cut wheels and blacked-out trim.
