Alfa Romeo Tonale

SETTING THE

The Tonale signifi es the metamorphosis of Alfa Romeo while remaining true to the Turin fi rm’s sporty DNA.

Inspired by Alfa Romeo’s rich racing history, the Tonale’s exterior and interior design cues are distinct and future-focused. Evoking the proud look of the SZ Zagato, adaptive LED matrix headlamps fl ank the iconic Alfa Romeo grille. The rear lamps’ styling is connected by an LED light strip and imitates the front items. The interior takes on a driver-centric approach, with all the switchgear sited within reach of the driver to ensure ease of operation when on the go. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster relays all the necessary information to the driver. The facia is dominated by a 10.25-inch touch-enabled infotainment display, which incorporates an Android set-up. A fi rst for a production car, the Tonale is equipped with non-fungible token (NFT) technology. The latter tech is based on the ‘blockchain card’ concept, a confi dential and non-modifi able record of the main stages in the life of an individual vehicle.

The opening gambit to the Italian brand’s electric future, the Tonale is available in plug-in hybrid (PHEV), 48 V mild hybrid, and diesel guises. The PHEV arrangement produces 202 kW; the duo of mild hybrids, 118 kW and 96 kW; and the oil-burner, 96 kW. The Tonale is penned to arrive in South Africa by the fi rst quarter of 2023.
