The leaks about the restyling of Alfa Romeo's Tonale compact SUV are coming thick and fast... and there's little room for surprise. After a first series of images appearing in August 2025followed by highly realistic rendering which have been widely circulated on the Internet, new visuals have just emerged. And this time, it's difficult to speak of simple sketches: these are technical documents in black and white, detailing in no uncertain terms the model's major evolutions.
A redesigned front, inspired by past and present
In these diagrams, the new front bumper is clearly visible. One image shows the whole, another zooms in on the central part with a symbolic evolution: the license plate moves from a side position to a central one, emphasizing a more balanced face.
But the detail that will grab the attention of enthusiasts above all is, of course, the new Scudetto. It features a design inspired by that of the Alfa Romeo 159, 147 or even Brera, with horizontal bars, while subtly recalling the 33 Stradale. A true visual signature, confirming the return to codes dear to aficionados.
Brand new rims
Another clue revealed by these documents: the Speciale and Veloce finishes will indeed be present at launch. As for the wheels, we discover four types of rims, including a new three-hole "telephone" design, an obvious homage to the brand's heritage that already exists on the Junior model.
A strategic model for Alfa Romeo
The whole package reflects a clear desire to give the Tonale a more assertive, more aggressive personality, while anchoring it in Alfa Romeo history. The arrival of the restyled Tonale is imminent. The official presentation is scheduled for autumn 2025, and we'll have the opportunity to test drive it as early as the end of October. For Alfa Romeo, this is a key step: keeping the Tonale at the heart of the range, at a time when the little Junior SUV is capturing most of the commercial attention. It remains to be seen whether this facelift will be enough to revive sales momentum in Europe and beyond. Find out in the coming weeks.

Slightly improved design, but it's a pity the plate is in the center instead of on the side.
But the most important thing would be convincing powertrains, not just small, anemic engines.
Indeed, the engines are the weak point of the range as well as for the Junior.
Mouarf... a new grille and wheels. But for the rest, deja has been ...
In short, Alfa Romeo and Stellantis ...or how to dig when you're already in the hole!
I completely agree with the comment about the central license plate and the engines.
Otherwise, I find it better than the first version.
Colored leathers too, other than red or black
sarebbe sufficiente che la smettessero di mettere in ogni auto di ogni livello quella schifezza del motore puretech che ha causato danni di immagine notevoli e problemi esagerati ai clienti, continuo a non capire perché non hanno voluto continuare a montare i motori italiani che non hanno mai dato problemi.
si doveva scegliere il meglio tra le due casa Psa e Fca e non ragionare per bandiera.
Ugly sht remains ugly like we all know... Disgusting Alfa Junior, true hier of SZ
Clearly, if they don't make an effort with the engines, the restyling won't do much for sales. It's ridiculous to use a 1.3-liter engine for the plug-in hybrid version. Renault offers 1.6 and 1.8-liter engines that consume much less fuel and offer greater driving pleasure and torque. It's like the 65 hp of the future 500, totally incomprehensible unless they're trying to sink the brand.
