The Alfa Romeo Tonale, the hybrid SUV emblematic of the Milanese brand's revival, is now at the center of an unexpected controversy. The UNARMA union, representing some of Italy's carabinieri, has lodged an official complaint with the Rome public prosecutor's office, denouncing the Tonale's unsuitability for field missions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An SUV deemed unfit for service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since June 2023, several Tonales, in their 160 hp version with seven-speed automatic gearbox, have been integrated into the law enforcement fleet for mobile patrol missions. These vehicles have been modified for service: partial armouring, a cell for arrested persons, blue LED lights, radio equipment, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But according to UNARMA's first-hand accounts, the vehicle's handling would be problematic in emergency situations, such as high-speed pursuits or on rough roads,<\/strong> a common terrain for carabinieri. Several agents claim that these defects could endanger their safety and compromise the effectiveness of interventions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The complaint refers to a growing number of internal reports, and also mentions accidents involving recently delivered Tonales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
