Since Alfa Romeo entered the domestic market, I believe everyone knows that it is a brand that pursues sports, even the Stelvio SUV born for the sake of volume, can also see the Italians' dedication to sports.
Recently, Alfa Romeo's new entry-level SUV Tonale was officially launched, which is named after a famous mountain road in Italy, and the new car is expected to be officially delivered in overseas markets in June.
See the new car in one minute:
1. The appearance is also personalized
2. Interior design serves the driver
3. Available in diesel gasoline, light mix and plug-in hybrid versions
Alfa Romeo Tonale actually shared the platform with the Jeep Liberty, and the body size is 4530/1840/1600mm, which is larger than the Liberty.
At first glance, Tonale's exterior is a completely new design language, but in fact, in addition to the unique shape of the head and taillights, many details of the body have a lot in common with the models on sale.
The first is the most iconic family-style inverted triangle grille with the familiar bumper shape, and then there are the full and powerful lines of the whole car, the wheel style is Alfa Romeo's classic five-hole design, these elements have been inherited in Tonale, but the rear hidden exhaust port is less dynamic, a little regrettable.
Sporty brands tend not to have too many bells and whistles in interior design, and a case in point is a case in point. After looking at the interiors of Giulia and Stelvio for a long time, you will feel something new when you see Tonale this time.
The layout of the center console of the new car is relatively traditional, the steering wheel still integrates the start button, although the overall is not a strong sense of technology, but the advantage is that the functional area is clearly divided, and the operation is convenient and fast.
In terms of configuration, the instrument of the new car finally uses a 12.3-inch full LCD display, and the central control screen is 10.25 inches. Other functions include mobile phone interconnection, car home interconnection, L2 level driving assistance and so on.
Tonale offers diesel gasoline, light hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions in terms of power.
The entry-level version is equipped with a 1.5T+48V light hybrid system, with a maximum power of 130Ps and 160Ps, the latter using variable geometry turbo technology, and the drivetrain is matched with a 7-speed TCT dual-clutch transmission.
In addition, the new car is also available in a 2.0T version, with a maximum power of 260Ps, a torque of 400N·m, and a drivetrain matching a 9AT transmission.
The plug-in hybrid version adopts a 1.3T engine in the front axle, and a 122Ps motor on the rear axle, forming a Q4 four-wheel drive system, with a comprehensive power of 275Ps, the transmission system matches the 6AT gearbox, and the 0-100km/h acceleration takes only 6.2 seconds. The battery capacity is 15.5kWh, the pure electric cruising range is 80km, the full charge takes only 2.5 hours, and the fuel tank capacity is 42.5L.
Tonale offers a variety of power versions to cover more consumer groups, compact SUV is also very few powerful, the most sporty model, I believe Tonale can gain the favor of many drivers.
It is reported that Alpha Romeo is developing a version of the Tonale Quadrifoglio, but mass production will depend on whether it can reach the highest level of performance, and fans can look forward to it.
The professor believes that Tonale should be introduced into the country, because Alfa Romeo currently has only two models on sale in China, and if you want to further develop the domestic market, you still have to enrich your own product line.
However, the domestic compact SUV market competition is quite fierce, Tonale needs to have reasonable pricing to have a way out, but the import status of it obviously does not have much advantage in price.
