It is limited to two models, the Giulia sedan and the Stelvio SUV, the compact SUV Alfa Romeo Tonale<\/a> has been expected for several years now<\/strong>. It marks a break with previous models Alfa Romeo<\/a> for two reasons: it will not use the Giorgio platform and it will be the first Alfa Romeo hybrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While it was to be marketed in 2021, following the integration of the Alfa Romeo brand into the Stellantis Group and the change of the management team, the Alfa Romeo Tonale will finally be presented on February 8, 2022 at an event called \"La Metamorfosi<\/strong>\"\u00a0 and marketed in the summer of 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As explained in the introduction, we know that the Alfa Romeo Tonale is a compact SUV<\/strong>and therefore of the C segment. The dimensions will be 4.53 m long, 1.84 m wide and 1.6 m high. The trunk capacity is about 500 liters. The weight is still unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the models presented, the Alfa Romeo Tonale is equipped with Pirelli P ZERO in the 235\/40R20 96V XL size. The Pirelli P ZERO has been chosen as original equipment for the various versions of the Tonale: hybrid, Q4 plug-in hybrid and diesel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For driving behavior<\/strong>The platform used for the Tonale is the SUSW, taken from the Jeep Compass and Jeep Commander. The front and rear suspensions are of the McPherson type. The basic platform has been improved, however, under the direction of Domenico Bagnasco (who worked on the Alfa Romeo 4C and the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA), in order to give the Tonale a sporty behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tonale's steering has also been tuned for performance with a powerful electric motor in the steering column that offers a 13.6:1 ratio. For comparison, the reduction ratio is 15.9:1 on the Jeep Compass. The weight distribution, front\/rear, has also been worked on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On board the Tonale, for infotainment,<\/strong> we find the U-Connect 5 system, with the Alexa voice command service, compatible with Apple Car Play and Android Auto, already seen on the latest Maserati Ghibli, Levante, Quattroporte or even the electric Fiat 500. That's a good point because it performs well. Harman will still be a partner for premium audio. In total two screens of 10.25 inches and 12.3 inches are available<\/strong> at the driver's level and at the central level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Driving aids are also included. From level 2, there will be 360\u00b0 camera<\/strong>blind spot detection, lane departure detection, autonomous emergency braking, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driving screen is totally digital but still allows to display needle meters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Tonale's headlights are full led and matrix led, a first for Alfa Romeo. The Matrix LED headlight concept consumes very little power and the light emitted by these headlights is rather white and intense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the quality of assembly and materials, the new director of the brand, Jean-Philippe Imparato (former CEO of Peugeot), promises top-of-the-line finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
