There is no lack of character at Alfa Romeo, but you can search for a decent successor to the Giulietta until you weigh an ounce. However, Alfa Romeo no longer has to do without a model under the Giulia for long. On this brand new set of spy plates you see the Tonale, a new SUV that will be unveiled soon.
Alfa’s model range starts with 3-series competitor Giulia and ends with the SUV brother of that car: the Stelvio. To date, the Mito and Giulietta still have to do without a successor. However, the Italians will soon finally come up with something new: the Tonale. The Tonale will be a new SUV that more or less fills the gap left by the Giulietta.
The Tonale will be the production version of the concept car of the same name that made its debut at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. For the design of the definitive Tonale, Alfa Romeo remains faithful to the design of the show car, which is now several years old. The wrapped Tonale that can be seen in the snow in this new set of spy photos has a similar side window, an Alfa-typical quite oval rear window and of course an aggressive little face with a still taped over between the headlights. scudetto. The headlights don’t get as flat as the Tonale Concept’s binoculars, but that’s no surprise either. In 2019 we already showed you leaked photos of the possible production version of the Tonale why those viewers were already visible. On the back of the Tonale we see knotted rear lights, exactly as the Autodesign Handbook prescribes these days.

Although Alfa Romeo currently does not have a single (plug-in) hybrid on the menu, Alfa cannot escape electrification either. We aim that the Tonale will in any case be available with the plug-in hybrid powertrain of the Jeep Renegade, in which a blown 1.3 is combined with an electric motor on the rear axle. The system power: 240 hp. The Tonale is probably still a model developed by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, so it is obvious that the Tonale also shares at least part of its base with the Renegade.
The little brother of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio becomes a direct competitor to cars such as the Audi Q3, BMW X1 and X2 and Lexus UX. The Tonale will reportedly be unveiled on February 8. Count down!
