The Alfa Romeo Tonale marks the brand's 'metamorphosis' into a new era of electrification. For the UK market, the Alfa Romeo Tonale will be available in a choice of two distinctive trims, Ti and Veloce, as well as a Speciale launch edition. The Ti version defines itself externally with a satin chrome V front bezel, 18-inch dark finish diamond cut alloy wheels with coloured Alfa Romeo centre wheel caps, a gloss-black body kit, with satin side and front inserts, and black painted mirror caps. Inside, sporty black cloth upholstery, driver's seat with four-way lumbar adjustment, 60/40 split rear seats with ski pass and sport leather steering wheel with start button mark out the Ti. The Veloce builds on this with dark miron V front bezel, veloce badging and body kit, with matt side and front inserts, gloss black window surround, privacy glass and 19-inch dark finish diamond cut alloy wheels with monochrome Alfa Romeo centre wheel caps and red painted Brembo brake calipers. Inside, the Veloce adds aluminium pedals and door sills and column mounted aluminium shift paddles to its distinctive black and red Alcantara upholstery. Under the skin, the Veloce also gains Alfa Dual Stage Valve suspension (DVS) for an even more compliant ride.

DESIGN
The definitive design of the Tonale is faithful to the concept car from which it draws its origins, courtesy of the remarkable work done at the Centro Stile Alfa Romeo. The Alfa Romeo Tonale offers a distinctive, sensual and forward-looking design, extolling new stylistic canons destined to remain as points of reference in the development of the future Alfa Romeo line-up: five-hole alloy wheels, the cluster in the 'telescopic' instrument panel, the three-spoke sports steering wheel, and the sine-curve headlights. Its compact dimensions - length 4.53m, width 1.84m and height 1.6m - encompass the uniqueness of Italian design and the original, contemporary style typical of Alfa Romeo.

POWERTRAIN
The Alfa Romeo Tonale is fitted with an efficient hybrid engine that highlight the brand's concrete commitment to a future oriented toward sustainable mobility and marking the first step in the process to electrifying the Alfa Romeo line-up. With the Tonale the brand has not simply adapted to the new standards, it has reinterpreted its DNA in the direction of energy, harmony with the environment, efficiency and intuitiveness when managing driving modes. This new technology means the Tonale can ensure an authentic hybrid experience. The 160hp hybrid Variable-Geometry Turbo (VGT) engine makes its exclusive debut in the Tonale. This version is equipped with front-wheel drive and a new hybrid technology. Its variable-geometry turbocharger, paired with a seven-speed Alfa Romeo TCT dual-clutch transmission and the 48-volt 15kW 55Nm P2 electric motor, makes it possible for the 1.5-litre petrol engine to propel the wheels even when the internal combustion engine is turned off. Alfa Romeo has opted for this technical solution to offer an authentic electrified experience. The transmission enables start up and travel in electric mode at low speeds and when parking and cruising, ensuring the typical performance of a petrol engine but with consumption (petrol and electric combined) comparable to a diesel engine, with an extremely linear power delivery and consistent acceleration.

All the specifications of the hybrid versions
The new 4-cylinder turbocharged engine has been designed to be the best fit for hybrid usage, to optimise thermodynamics, and save on fuel consumption. Designed to optimise thermodynamics, and therefore to save on fuel consumption, the new 4-cylinder turbocharged engine has a high compression ratio (12.5:1), a new cylinder head with compact combustion chamber, dual variable valve timing and special 'high-tumble' intake ducts. It also features the all-new high-pressure direct injection system, operating at up to 350 bar. Designed exclusively for Alfa Romeo, the 160hp version adds a new variable-geometry turbocharger, capable of combining great responsiveness at lower speeds and high power for a sportier drive, all while maintaining a high level of efficiency. The input powertrain delivers an output of 130hp and peak torque reaches 240Nm. A belt starter generator is also installed to guarantee fast and silent transitions when restarting. The Intelligent Brake System optimises the 'auto-charge' feature; it uses mixed regenerative braking to maximise the recovery of kinetic energy during deceleration, to improve efficiency.
