Later it became known that the production version would retain the name of the show car, and its premiere was scheduled for 2021. The Italian SUV had to be postponed, as the model was sent for review. At the end of last year, the new SUV appeared in the corporate video of the brand, and in January a teaser campaign was launched, which lasted until today's premiere. Now Tonale is finally officially declassified.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-166804-624eff6791124.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-166804-624eff6791124.webp\" alt=\"Alfa Romeo introduced the Tonale crossover: the PHEV version shared the technique with the Jeep Compass 4xe\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pictured: Alfa Romeo Tonale<\/p>\n<p>Earlier it was noted that the exterior of the commercial version of Alfa Romeo Tonale will not differ much from the forerunner, presented almost three years ago. So, for the crossover presented today, the branded radiator grill has the same <a href=\"\/recomendet-appsumo\" class=\"sds-arl\">design<\/a>, the design of the lower part of the front bumper and the stamping on the hood are identical. The head optics received a similar design, but the three-section headlights turned out to be slightly less horizontally elongated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-166804-624eff68df0fd.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-166804-624eff68df0fd.webp\" alt=\"Alfa Romeo introduced the Tonale crossover: the PHEV version shared the technique with the Jeep Compass 4xe\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The profile was decorated with light-alloy wheels of the original design (basic versions &#8211; 17 inches), and the &#8220;rich&#8221; configurations were equipped with 20-inch &#8220;rollers&#8221;, reminiscent of the spinning wheels of stationary phones, the same ones were in the show car). The stern of the novelty does not differ from the concept: a concise spoiler is located in the upper part of the fifth door, lights &#8220;float&#8221; on the rear fenders, they are interconnected by a wide strip, in the center of which is the brand logo, and just below the inscription with the model name. There is a shark fin antenna on the roof.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-166804-624eff6a1633d.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-166804-624eff6a1633d.webp\" alt=\"Alfa Romeo introduced the Tonale crossover: the PHEV version shared the technique with the Jeep Compass 4xe\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The length of the Alfa Romeo Tonale is 4528 mm, the width is 1835 mm, the height is 1604 mm, the wheelbase is 2636 mm. In the model range of the brand, it will replace the Giulietta hatchback, the release of which ended in 2020. The new SUV is expected to eventually become Alfa Romeo's entry-level model. It will compete with the BMW X1, Audi Q3, as well as the Volvo XC40 (this compact crossover has recently been updated).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-166804-624eff6b22fc6.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-166804-624eff6b22fc6.webp\" alt=\"Alfa Romeo introduced the Tonale crossover: the PHEV version shared the technique with the Jeep Compass 4xe\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The interior also received many omens. There is an engine start button on the steering wheel, and a selector on the center console that allows you to change the driving electronics modes. In front of the driver is a virtual &#8220;tidy&#8221; with a diagonal of 12.3 inches (in Heritage mode, the classic instrument scales are displayed on the display). In the center of the dashboard is a relatively small (diagonal: 10.25 inches) touchscreen infotainment system that has an over-the-air update function.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alfa Romeo Tonale is based on the Fiat FCA Small Wide platform. The most &#8220;simple&#8221; versions of the car, which will be offered only in some European countries, will receive a 130-horsepower 1.6-liter turbodiesel under the hood. It works in tandem with a six-speed &#8220;automatic&#8221; with two clutches, front-wheel drive only.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-166804-624eff6c4d7f3.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-166804-624eff6c4d7f3.webp\" alt=\"Alfa Romeo introduced the Tonale crossover: the PHEV version shared the technique with the Jeep Compass 4xe\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For most markets, the initial versions will be hybrids, their &#8220;stuffing&#8221; is the same as that of the Jeep Renegade and Compass e-Hybrid presented last month (remember, the Jeep and Alfa Romeo brands belong to the auto giant Stellantis). So, at the heart of the power plant is a 1.5-liter gasoline &#8220;turbo&#8221; of the GSE (Global Small Engine) family, the power of which varies from 130 to 160 hp. The engine is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that integrates a 48-volt electric motor that delivers an additional 20 hp. Purely on electric drive, these hybrids can move in a slow traffic jam or while parked.<\/p>\n<p>Note that the Americans will receive a variant of the Alfa Romeo Tonale, which will be equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine, whose power is 256 hp. A nine-speed ZF automatic transmission is added to this engine, and the crossover has Q4 all-wheel drive with a clutch on the rear axle.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-166804-624eff6d53430.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-166804-624eff6d53430.webp\" alt=\"Alfa Romeo introduced the Tonale crossover: the PHEV version shared the technique with the Jeep Compass 4xe\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If we return to the global line of new products, then the Tonale PHEV rechargeable hybrid will become the top version. He borrowed the &#8220;stuffing&#8221; from the Jeep Compass 4xe. At the heart of its installation is a 1.3-liter gasoline &#8220;turbo&#8221; MultiAir (combined with 6AKP), which drives the front wheels. While a 122 horsepower electric motor is installed on the rear axle. The total power of this system is 275 hp.<\/p>\n<p>The battery packs are located in the central tunnel and under the rear sofa, their total capacity is 15.5 kWh. The power reserve when driving only on electric traction is 60 km (in a combined cycle), it takes 2.5 hours to charge the batteries from the terminal.
