Leave it to the Italians to create a stunning mid size SUV. This is the brand new Alfa Romeo Tonale and it’s based on the concept that was unveiled back in 2019.
It’s been delayed because of the chip shortage but now it’s finally here in its production version.
What I want to do in this video is talk about some of the spec and tech but more importantly, discuss this design because it’s going to be really interesting to compare what actually made it into production from the concept which we’re going to do when we jump into Photoshop and show them side by side.
The Alfa Romeo Tonale isn’t a big car measuring only 178.3 inches in length, making it a full six inches shorter than a BMW X3 for example.
This is Alfa's first production vehicle featuring a plug-in-hybrid powertrain and it comes with two powertrain options.
You have the brand new plug-in-hybrid which pairs a 180-horsepower turbocharged 1.3-liter inline-four with a 121-hp electric motor that sits on the rear axle. This is powered by a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery.
Combined, the hybrid setup has a total output of 272 horsepower sent to all four wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. You can drive it on electric power in the Advanced Efficiency driving mode for about 30 miles, not too bad for just driving around town.
It also has three driving modes: Natural, Advanced Efficiency which I just mentioned and Dynamic mode.
The second engine option is a more traditional turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. This engine puts out a respectable 256 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Both versions come standard with all-wheel drive.
On the inside, the Alfa Romeo Tonale features a 10.3-inch center touchscreen with Stellantis’ Uconnect 5 infotainment system in addition to the 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. It comes pretty well equipped as standard with features such as Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and wireless phone.
The price starts at around $38,000 and it will go on sale early 2023. Buyers can choose between three trim levels - Sprint, Ti, and Veloce.
The Tonale is the first of many electrified vehicles from Alfa Romeo who plans to unveil another one in 2025 in addition to a full all electric car coming in 2025.

Some say that looks like a Mazda and they’re right in some way. But to me Mazda took some of Alfa’s details and spirit to became a kind of “japanese Alfa” And honestly they nailed it in many ways, I really like most of their cars. But the design of the Tonale has the DNA of previous models. This is a 100% Alfa design. And I love it.

@@RotchildFrancoisJr I'm with you, as I like clean, simple design executions and, in Alfa's case, a nod to their long heritage. Where I think Alfa's Tonale beats the CX-5 is in the front end, where the Mazda grille design is a bit half-baked, and the rear, where Alfa's taillight solution is at once current lighting tech, but with a unique and novel take. Both brand's CUVs look pretty good, to be honest.

I personally feel the concept and production have completely different proportions and it comes down to the grown over hangs. Obviously many limitations resulted in this but the concept has a beautiful, almost RWD looking silloute from the side while the production version clearly looks transverse / fwd based (Jeep Compass Like). While overall it's still a very nice design and they did a fantastic job keeping true to their initial design study, that concept was just stunning.. Thank you for these videos btw, they are very enjoyable!!

So the front and the wheels have very distinctive Alfa Romeo look, but at the same time it reminds me of Jaguar E-Pace and Porsche Macan looking at it from the side and from the rear respectively. Would you prefer Tonale over E-Pace or maybe a Volvo XC40? In my opinion, these three play in the same niche premium league.
@ForzaMonkey
@ForzaMonkey 2 жыл бұрын
IMO, the xc40 looks a bit… cheap, on the outside at least, but I think it is a good family vehicle with very conservative styling for the market, and Volvo does a great job with interiors. 7.5/10. The Jaguar e-pace tries to look nice, but it just does not seem very Jaguar to me. I can’t put my finger on it though. Plus my local JLR dealer called my mom crazy because the eco-mode did not work in our old F-type. 6/10, but biased rating. Alfa Romeo needs to change the name of the Tonale. I keep thinking “toenail”. I love Alfa design though, and this car is no exception.

Thanks for this design breakdown, much appreciated. As an Alfisti I was initially a little disappointed with the reveal. The front and rear are true to the concept and very beautiful but the side profile loses too many of the really breath-taking features of the concept. I own a Giulietta and the integrated rear door handles (as displayed on the concept Tonale) set the whole tone of the side view and I can't understand why Alfa ditched them. Practicality I guess but it changes the whole look of the side view. Add to that the extra plastic trim along the door sills (which is also cut slightly different) and you go from a glorious side profile to a much more standard SUV side view. Alfa don't need to convince me, I'll buy one anyway but the concept had the potential to shift people from existing SUVs to give Alfa a try, it was just so beautiful. This production version is good but it is not the exceptional design of the concept and therefore, given how late Alfa is to this market - may not shift opinion away from the excellent German, Japanese, Korean and Swedish alternatives. I hope I'm wrong and they sell like hot cakes and I'll be happy to not be the only Alfa driver for miles.

I’m also a little underwhelmed actually- they should have radically kept the original proportions with the minimal overhangs - the proportions now are rather lumpy or tubby- and the radical simplicity with vast uninterrupted taut surfaces without door handles and other clutter and with absolutely superb materials like volvo or polestar- I’m afraid that it is just not special and good enough. For me it lacks class at the end. I was really looking forward to this model, I’m seeing the many positive features bembli is talking about but at the end it does not convince me, sadly.

I loved Alfa's from the first time I saw my first one a GT Junior back in the 70's as a young boy stationed in Germany. I hope Alfa fixes their dealer network as they are far and few between. I live in Texas there are only 11 dealers in the whole state for them to achieve 60,000 model sales a year that is going to be a lofty endeavor to accomplish . I live in the Northern part of Texas it is a 2 hour drive to the closest dealer in Fort Worth for me. That is going to be a big hurdle they will face in making a comeback in the US. Besides that I love the Tonale.

Alfa needs a sports car, convertible model. They were known for decades for having the Spider Veloce model. They need a new version. SUV's are bland in general. So, Alfa needs to create a new piece of art.

Loved the video. You really illustrated the key lines like the "GT" line very well and I got to see more of the car from a Designers perspective rather than from a marketing rep or gear-head. The only things I will mention are 1. US still isnt allowed to use cameras instead of mirrors. Not sure about UK but Japan and other Asian countries got approval for it. UK and Europe are allowed to use Laser headlights though and US just got approved for the laser matrix that Mercedes and BMW have developed which is awesome. 2. Tonale Is a compact SUV/Crossover, same as Compass .Cherokee even is considered compact sometimes but it is generally referenced as the smaller of the midsized SUVs. Grand cherokee is a true midsize and the Durango and Grand Cherokee L are full-size (though on the smaller side). Then you get the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer which are true full-size like the Tahoe and Escalade. But hey, lines have been blurred with all of these new segments. 3. I rather like the current RAV4 design and, although kind of messy with some of its lines like the CH-R, it does a good job of not looking like everything else on the market. Anyways, great job as always

Should be about 34k for the base model. if the 38k is for the base 2WD but with Hybrid (non-plug) motor.. I can see the extra expense.. not sure how well it'll sell though.

@@rlsedition Complaining?... no. Observing the primary exterior tactile design choice.. looks to be "borrowed" from a lesser brand in the Stellantis stable.. yup. Lifelong Alfisti here.. If you know anything about the brand, (pre-Fiat) you'd know they've always went that extra step, for any tactile design choice. And the door handles are almost always unique and masterfully done.. Even the 156 had hidden rear door handles (Like the Tonale concept)...to not upset the flowing design.

@@PC-iv5so If the door handles are the only design misstep, Alfa has a winner with the Tonale. I'd say the headlamp/taillamp designs are new, unique and wonderful.

The giulia has curves in all the right places...sexy and aggressive ... Alfa seems to have gone very safe with this car design...after 2 years looking at the concept car...what made the design and stance very attractive has all gone...the proportions seem off to me. Was planning on buying one of these but it doesn't move me.emotionally like the design of the giulia. From the comments people seem to like it though...

You missed the biggest difference in the sides. The back door+window is very conservative. Truly disappointing. They should have continued with Giulietta's design.
