Recently, Alfa Romeo's new SUV model, Tonale, was officially launched. The new car is positioned as a compact SUV, which is Alfa Romeo's second SUV product.
The Tonale is 4.53m long, 1.84m wide and 1.6m high, benchmarking the Audi Q3 and Volvo XC40, positioned as a "compact sports luxury SUV", using a McPherson suspension with frequency selective damping, achieving a weight distribution of 50:50, and also adopting an "instant response" in-line brake system.
In terms of power, Tonale has the most comprehensive power options romeo has to offer in recent years – two hybrid models with 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engines + 48V systems with 7-speed dual-clutch transmissions at 128bhp and 158bhp respectively A plug-in hybrid model equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine on the 1.3T Fiat 500, equipped with a 15.5kWh battery, with an integrated output of 271bhp, which can accelerate when completing 0-100 km in 6.2 seconds, and the pure electric mode has an endurance of 60-80 km. Imprato said that Tonale marks the return of the Alfa Romeo model to commercial use, and is expected to see Alfa Romeo in the commercial fleet next.
In terms of appearance, Tonale is more of an Alfa Romeo traditional style than its predecessors Stelvio and Giulia, with a GT waist line similar to the 8C Competizione, and the 3+3 lamp layout of the front of the car also corresponds to the design of traditional models such as SZ, 159, and Brera. In addition, both the Trilobo style and the Scudetto shield grille allow Tonale to retain Romeo's traditional Italian design style in the new era.
On the Tonale, Alfa Romeo also did not forget to live the whole life, because the Tonale was the first model in history to be equipped with NFTs. When Tonale is sold, Romeo will give the owner an NFT that records the digital log of the vehicle, as long as the owner maintains or repairs it, Romeo will update the NFT, in order to improve the retention rate of the model - of course, the owner can refuse to participate in this plan, after all, Romeo's maintenance rate, updating to update is very troublesome.
Alfa Romeo has not announced the price of Tomale for the time being, and its competitor Audi Q3 starts at 31,000 pounds, and Tonale will probably be around 33,000 pounds, which will land in the UK market this autumn, and the Chinese market is unknown.
