As we all know, the existence of "four-leaf clover" is the same as BMW M, Mercedes-Benz AMG, etc., as a high-performance representative of the Alfa Romeo brand.
Recently, there are foreign media news that Alfa Romeo executives have plans to create a four-leaf clover version based on the brand's latest model, Tonale, provided that there is enough market demand.
Since Alfa Romeo already has two models with four-leaf clover versions, namely Stelvio and Giulia, in Alfa Romeo's view, the brand is not in urgent need of creating a new four-leaf clover model, but there will be more people who want to have a Tonale four-leaf clover version, and the official plan will have this plan.
It is understood that Alfa Romeo Tonale is the brand's latest compact SUV, and it is also The second SUV and the first "electrocution" product under Alfa Romeo. According to the brand's plan, the car is expected to enter the North American market after being the first to be listed in the European market in 2022, and according to people familiar with the matter, the new car is expected to be priced at 30,000-50,000 US dollars (201,000-335,000 yuan).
Although the new car "four-leaf clover" version is still in the preliminary plan, but the foreign media has previously drawn a four-leaf clover version of Tonale, that is, replaced by a more performance suite of "GTA" version (lightweight version), the whole car will have more carbon fiber motion kits, in addition to being able to achieve the reduction of the weight of the new car, it will also be more aerodynamic, so that the new car has a stronger downforce to maintain a stable driving attitude.
At the same time, the new car will also be replaced with a larger "petal wheel" and more sporty tires, as well as a brake kit with more forced power.
In terms of interior, with reference to the Giulia GTA model, the new car will not only continue the interior design of the Giulia four-leaf clover version, but also add more Alcantara material wrapping and more sporty one-piece sports seats.
However, the current GTA version is only reflected in the car, and it is not known whether Tonale will become the first GTA version.
In terms of power, Alpha Romeo Tonale will provide gasoline, diesel, plug-in three powertrains, including a 1.3T engine + motor plug-in hybrid model, as well as a 2.0T turbocharged engine, its plug-in hybrid model has a maximum power of 275 horses, 0-100km/h acceleration of 6.2 seconds, supporting four-wheel drive systems.
However, Alfa Romeo executives said that since the four-leaf clover is a high-performance version, it is expected that the new car will use pure electric mode, which will allow the new car to easily achieve 300 horses or more of power.
If the new car can only reach the level of the four-leaf clover, then the brand will also launch a higher performance model on each product, and the expected target for the future four-leaf clover version will be set at zero hundred acceleration time of 2-3 seconds.
From the perspective of positioning, if Tonale will also launch a four-leaf clover model, then the new car competitors will include more luxury high-performance models of the same class.
Mercedes-Benz GLA45 S AMG
Guidance price: 544,800 yuan
Audi RS Q3 Sportback
In fact, Alpha Romeo chose to launch Tonale is also to pull down the brand threshold to achieve volume, because the positioning is lower than Stelvio, if Tonale will also launch a four-leaf clover version, which means that the overall price of the new car will be lower than the four-leaf version of Stelvio, then if you can feel the essence of Alpha Romeo four-leaf clover at a lower price, it will inevitably expand the audience.
