How should this have been the Stelvio ? This car is anemic ! Takes over 8 seconds to get to 60 !! Stelvio drives amazing...50 / 50 weight bias, GIORGIO platform (WAY BETTER THAN THE FIAT PUNTO PLATFORM from where this is based), and the Stelvio is primarily RWD bias whereas I'm sure this is primarily FWD bias. I do prefer the front facia of the Tonale as well as the tail lights but that's it. Stelvio sport seats are way nicer as well.

Much nicer seats than are in this Tonale....Also, black on black on black on black...UGH!!! My pearl white Stelvio with the red and black interior is way nicer looking than this cave. Red sport seats, red lower dash, red inserts in the doors and red center console make my Stelvio's interior way more vibrant than this drab black mish mosh. Center stack info is better in the Tonale but I much prefer the integrated look of the Stelvio's nav screen to this iPad thrown on top of the dash ala every German car ever....afterthought much ? Looks are subjective but my Pearl white Stelvio with the black exterior accents and much nicer 19 inch 5 hole rims is a superior looking car in my opinion. Unfortunately when the Dodge Hornet hits the streets for 11 K less, the Tonale is going to be cheapened by its corporate sibling...something the Stelvio doesn't have to worry about.

In this segment the Tonale is undoubtly the best looking car. Cupra Formentor a few steps behind but that poor 90’s lumbar tattoo of a tribal logo just bring the whole thing down the drain. Stelvio is only slightly bigger (6 cm wider, 15 cm longer) compared to Tonale and squeezes in 25 dm3 extra in the boot. The fact that Tonales hybrid engine will be Alfas best economic vs performance powerhouse, can carry three adults in the back (according to Thomas), taxes and pricetag in favor of this car - all my bets are on Tonale. In fact, im seriously concidering this as my future hybrid alternative in the next couple of years. Hopefully reliability and dealerships have evolved. Well done Alfa!

I really love this car and the review you did. It's indepth and very good! My favorite thing was the flashers turning on when you brake very hard. Many times I've been on the highway or in the city, had to slam on my brakes and just prayed the person behind me would be paying attention and notice how hard I'm braking. With that? No more, you'll catch someone's attention fast with a flasher brake. Especially if it's some sudden stop you can't make them expect.

@@BrateTebra123 Good question - Mounting the engine longitudinally enables the engineers to push the engine towards the centre and behind the front axle that that leads to almost equal weight distribution to front and back $ right and left. This makes for a proper front mid engine engine rear wheel driven layout that lead to better acceleration, less torque steer, better cornering performance and even this layout can handle more powerful engines as well. AWD can be integrated as well to red architecture as well ... Compared to a transversely mounted layout where more then 65 % weight is up front and axels powering the front wheels are of different lengths .. there's so much parts that are stuffed in to front bonnet and front wheels have to do the both turning and pulling duty that leads to east wear and tear of parts .... Rear wheel drive vehicles may not be as space efficient as fwd as there's axle that goes to rear that takes up space butany modern fwd vehicles too have AWD system that eats in to the space so that argument is no longer valid....
