When it comes to the two words elegance and classic, then it must be inseparable from the elegant country of Italy. As the birthplace of many luxury brands, it seems that Italy has always been tightly associated with the word elegance. Of course, such an elegant country naturally does not lack classic car brands, and Alfa Romeo is one of them. As a well-known Italian car and sports car manufacturer, it was created in 1910 and was later acquired by the Fiat Group in 1986. Then in 2017, Alfa Romeo also officially entered the Chinese auto market. Although this car brand is not particularly popular in the domestic market because of its relatively expensive price and not too high recognition, its quality and elegant and beautiful classic appearance still make this car popular around the world.
A few days ago, the latest road test spy photo of the new Tonale under the long-established automobile company was also exposed by a number of foreign auto media. The new Tonale has been exposed as early as August 2021 to produce the body, and then in October to the following October also exposed the interior and engine compartment and other related details. In the latest spy photos, the camouflage on the appearance of the new car is also further reduced, which can make car lovers around the world see the car more intuitively and understand the car.
It is reported that this car will use a plug-in hybrid engine system, which is also the first hybrid model of Alfa Romeo, which is very memorable. In the spy photos exposed this time, the camouflage is less than the previous spy photos, and the design concept and outline of this car can be roughly seen. The new car adopts the design concept of its classic Alpha Romeo family, and the triangular grille at the front of the car and the narrow headlights on both sides make the car very recognizable. In addition, the narrow air intake under the front of the car is also a reference to the design of Gilia and Stelvio. However, what is different is that this car has two lines above the engine compartment and its strength, which also makes the front of this car full of power.
On the side of the body, the overall body streamline is relatively rounded, and while it has the elegant style of an Italian car, it does not lack the sense of power that an SUV should have. The traditional door handles are not the same as the concept cars, but the sporty window lines give the side of the car a different flavor. At the rear, the new car uses the current popular through-the-taillight design, but interestingly, there is no exhaust pipe under the bottom bumper. The design of its taillights is similar to that of its own brand Lynk & Co, but the design inside the taillights is more fashionable and dynamic. Alfa Romeo's iconic petal rims are also available on this car.
In terms of body size, according to foreign media forecasts, the new Tone is expected to be 4528mm long, 1835mm wide, 1604mm high, and its wheelbase is 2636mm. However, until the time of the spy photo exposure, Alfa Romeo was still tight-lipped about the new car, and his confidentiality of the new car was also considered to be the ultimate, but this also gave consumers more room for reverie.
In terms of power, the car may be equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and match the power combination of the rear electric motor, its maximum power may reach 177kW, but according to The consistent style of Alfa Romeo, the car should launch a high-performance version, after all, the brand that does racing will not make its model very mediocre.
The car is expected to be officially launched this year, that is, in the summer of 2022, so friends, what do you think of this car? Welcome to active discussion in the comments section.
