On February 8, Alfa Romeo's new model , Tonale , was officially launched, as Alfa Romeo's second SUV product, the new car is positioned in a compact SUV, lower than the Stelvio currently on sale, and benchmarked with Audi Q3, BMW X1 and other models. It is understood that the car is expected to be officially delivered in overseas markets in June.
Alfa Romeo Tonale adopts the iconic family design, the unique inverted triangle grille is quite personal, and the new wavy light set on both sides is very creative, with high recognition after lighting, and the bottom heat dissipation opening creates a good sense of movement. On the side, the new car's blackened exterior mirrors have Italian flag elements, the five-ring wheels also show the brand's classic design, with red brake calipers to appear more combative, the tail through the wavy taillight group echoes the front of the car.
In terms of interior, the overall design of the new car is relatively decent, equipped with a double barrel type full LCD instrument and a suspension central control screen, the one-click start button is placed on the steering wheel, and provides a very exaggerated size of the paddle shifter, with the logo print on the headrest to create a full combat style, configuration, the new car provides 360-degree panoramic imagery and L2 level driver assistance system and other popular functions.
In terms of power, Alfa Romeo Tonale offers gasoline, diesel, light hybrid and plug-in hybrid systems with a wide range of options. New owners push light mix and plug hybrid models, The mild hybrid model consists of a 1.5T gasoline engine with a 48-volt mixing system, the engine is divided into 130 hp and 160 hp power tuning, of which the motor can provide 15 kW of additional power, the transmission system matches the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission; the model with the plug-in hybrid system has a comprehensive output of up to 275 hp and the battery pack capacity is 15.5 kWh, which can support Tomale to travel 80 km in pure electric mode, the drive system matches the 6-speed automatic transmission, and is equipped with a four-wheel drive system.
Summary: In fact, as early as the Geneva Motor Show in March 2019, Alfa Romeo released the Tonale concept car, and now it seems that the real car has largely retained the shape of the concept car, continuing the classic design while making some innovations. However, in contrast, Alfa Romeo Tonale's bland interior and power are indeed a bit uninteresting, as an Italian brand that flaunts sports, shouldn't it launch some more extreme performance versions in the later stage? Look forward to it.
