Alfa Romeo finally released a new car, yes, yesterday we previewed the Italian giant to release a brand new SUV, today Tonale was officially unveiled, this car for Alfa Romeo this year's "most important" model, what will it look like?
The new model, the third model after Giulia and Stelvio, is aimed at the sports SUV market and looks almost identical to an earlier concept car. In particular, there is the obviously iconic Alfa Romeo grille, indicating its brand attributes, and the light group part is still familiar to us although the improvement, the overall head still does not arrange the position of the license, which is very Mucha Romeo.
The side of the new car is honestly a little bit unremarkable, but the wheel hub part is eye-catching. Tonale will be equipped with new "teledial" alloy wheels. This shape reminds me of the dial wheel of an old-fashioned telephone, very retro, and the red brake calipers are really beautiful.
The taillights use a very cool three-element through-type taillight design, the overall tail design is also full of Alpha Romeo's strong family flavor, the overall design style of the new model is still that elegant, sporty Yuppe style, in terms of appearance, Alfa Romeo Tonale is quite capable of playing.
The interior is also fully exposed, why does the overall layout feel a bit like Audi? Still, the feeling of having an ignition button on the thick steering wheel is exciting, and the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster uses a virtual pointer design to split. The 10.25-inch central control screen is not large, equipped with the UConnect 5 infotainment system, and supports wireless CarPlay and Android Auto.
The configuration is also good, the model is equipped with ACC adaptive cruise, blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection functions, lane keeping assist and rear crossing path detection, and also supports L2 level assisted automatic driving, this time Alfa Romeo really took something out.
Powerly, Alfa Romeo still did not give up fuel power, the main engine is a four-cylinder 2.0T engine, the maximum horsepower of 256 horses, the peak torque is about 404 Nm. However, Alpha Romeo also tried a new hybrid idea, a four-cylinder 1.3T plug-in hybrid model will also appear, this plug-in hybrid engine not only has a maximum horsepower of 272 horses, but also equipped with a 15.5 kWh battery pack, the power supply mode is the rear drive, this battery pack has a life of 48 kilometers in pure electricity, and it takes 2.5 hours to fill this battery.
This car is expected to enter the mainland, after all, giulia and Stelvio's market performance is still OK, the key is to see the price, the fastest personal is expected to be unveiled at this year's Beijing Auto Show, the official listing time should be at the end of this year, then for this car do you like?
