The new SPICY Baby Alfa Romeo! // 2024 Tonale Review

[@sferg3291]

Also Tonale does have a meaning, it was names after the Tonale pass. "The Tonale Pass is a well-known mountain pass located in northern Italy."

[@SarahnTuned]

Oh no way!! I’ve been there before 😂

[@haerleduyn]

Just like the Stelvio. Also a pass frequented by cyclist and motards.

no, I pass this. it is toenail.

Alfa deserves to succeed, and this Tonale looks to be the ticket. Alfa's design language is outstanding, each model they currently offer stands out on their own, and I thought Sarah's review showed off perfectly how well these Tonale's are styled. Misano Blue looks fantastic on these as well.

[@richardmichael59]

Just one more of many reasons to be one of the over half a million subscribers. Keep knocking them out of the park, girl. You're my favourite auto channel bar none.

[@Dodong0]

We were going to get a Tonale, but after our Giulietta kicked the bucket, our dealer wasn’t very helpful during Golden Week… That made my wife mad to no end, so we ended up getting a Peugeot 308SW GT. Don’t regret the decision, but I was looking forward to having a Tonale and sticking with Alfa. Your reviews and maintenance videos are the best; definitely my favorite car channel.

[@mantarayal]

Cool car and great review as always. Sarah is one in a billion. Just such incredible content and entertainment, mixed with being a proper mechanic. And her jokes are ...fire. Outstanding.

[@johnleblanc1243]

Thanks again Sarah for the Alfa road test. I've had a real love affair with the Alfa/Fiat badges for over 50 years. Love your vids you are so much fun to watch and listen to. From Brisbane Australia.

[@hermestri3]

Always enjoy your reviews, very detailed without ever being boring. Had to watch this several times before I even noticed the car. Just saying.

[@tracker001]

Oh yes , very informative reviews , There are always a place that would be worn out if this was tape , to check out the car . It is a shade of red

I am looking at buying this vehicle for the special woman in my life. After seeing your review, it is going to be red. Love the Nerd Out segments which no one else does and I learn so much. Keep up the great work!

[@McTroyd]

Amazing timing, Sarah! I was just like, "I want to watch a car video," and the notification bell dings! Edit: 7:30 The electric motor whine actually sounds pretty cool on top of the engine.

[@bearddevil]

I totally agree with you on the PHEV issue. I've been jonesing about getting a Volvo S60 T8. Maybe in '25 when the long range ones are a couple years old and slightly cheaper. They're total sleepers!

[@philk.]

Now that you have done this wonderful informative review of Alfa Romeo Tonale Q4 PHEV for those unfamiliar and familiar with the Alfa brand, I vote that you should have Alfa give you one for your everyday use. 😉

[@module79l28]

0:25 - Fagioli. You're welcome. 😉 1:15 - Maybe because it's a press model and the final product will have a different cover?

[@ravencorvus67]

Those lift point covers will only irritate the first mechanic because he's going to toss them out the back door.

[@Fevebblefester]

That assumes Stellantis sells enough of them for more than a couple of technicians to find out about them.

[@terot8341]

no hie is not because working on customer car you can't just throw parts away.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Why would they toss them out - plenty of cars have them, and dealership technicians are trained by factory reps on how to correctly service them, including using the lift points. Maybe, a small dodgy workshop will, but when the customer comes to collect the car and does the sort of inspection a customer should do after servicing, the customer should ask 'where are the lift covers?' and with hold payment until the job has been properly completed to factory workshop specifications. Now, if ravencorvus is suggesting that they would toss them, then that's a workshop to avoid.

[@Konszky]

Except it´s part of the service, so they´ll charge you for the time it takes to remove and re-attach them...

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

@@Konszky That will be included in the book hours for the service. Dealships charge the hours according to the book, but how efficient the techs are, is how they make a profit - charge for an 8 hour job, but have well trained workers who can do it in 6. Correct jacking might be set at 15 minutes in the book, but an experienced worker will take 5.

Plug in hybrids make a lot of sense for geographically large countries like the US, Australia, Canada etc. You can do your usual trips in EV mode and save gas, and still go for occasional long road trips with no charging issues.

"Time to give it the fagioli." Totally agree that a hybrid such as this Alfa is the way to go if you want to incorporate an electric drive train into your vehicle. Pure EV's just don't have all-around practicality due to their limited range and it looks like it will be some time before a mature technology is developed that will give them that capability.
