Alfa Romeo 2024 Tonale Plug-In Hybrid

The anticipation is finally over — the Tonale is getting ready to arrive at Jim Ellis Alfa Romeo Atlanta and you don’t want to miss it. Alfa Romeo is making its mark on the automotive industry with nothing but positive press regarding the long-awaited Tonale. So buckle up as we take a closer look at the Alfa Romeo Tonale. 
 

Prepare yourself for all of the excitement that is to come with the release of the 2024 Tonale. Manufactured at the Pomigliano d’Arco plant in Naples, Italy, the 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale begins rolling off the production line for North America with availability this month. It spearheads a brand new era of luxury, electrification and connectivity while remaining true to the race-inspired DNA that Alfa Romeo is known for. As the first compact sport-utility vehicle from the brand, North American consumers will experience more than 112 years of heritage built into every car. 
 

The evolution of performance is led by a plug-in hybrid powertrain with a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery and 90-kW electric motor that delivers an electric range of more than 30 miles. The additional 1.3-liter turbocharged engine contributes to a best-in-class 285 horsepower and every Alfa Romeo Tonale includes all-wheel drive. This vehicle encourages driving further and faster while embracing safety as its key component. Globe and Mail Writer Mark Hackling describes the drive experience in “Alfa Romeo’s first electrified vehicle, the Tonale PHEV, is no watered-down entry-level CUV.”
 

“The drive along curvy roads in a rural area north of Detroit makes the Alfa feel unlike any other compact utility on the road today," said Hackling. “It’s composed and comfortable and it actually makes you want to attach challenging stretches of road just for the fun of it.”
 

The Alfa Romeo Tonale also features the Uconnect 5 Infotainment System, an advanced connectivity platform that includes faster operating speeds, new content and improved customization — all to deliver a safe driving experience with in-car connectivity controlled by voice commands. Additionally, the sophisticated and elegant styling of the Tonale itself has left quite a mark on the automotive journalists who have experienced taking it for a test drive. Car and Driver Contributing Editor Georg Kacher dives deeper in “2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale Is Not a Baby Stelvio.”
 

“The Alfa Romeo Tonale makes a good first impression," said Kacher. “It earns major street cred for its styling, which oozes italianità, and its cabin is a tasty mix of old-school analog dials and clever Uconnect 5 digital tech. We give full marks for the infotainment interface, which is easy to use.”
 

Exhilarating driving dynamics are assisted by a rapid-response Frequency Damping Suspension (FDS) system, engineered to create a comfortable ride and automatically adjust the suspension for spirited driving. These dynamics invite drivers to effortlessly enjoy the smooth drive by granting a sense of equilibrium between the front and rear. Dreading wide U-turns is a thing of the past with the 2024 Tonale. A Girl’s Guide to Cars Journalist Scotty Reiss expounds on the feature in “2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale AWD PHEV First Drive: Electric for Errands, Gas for Road Trips, Sport Mode When You Need all the Feels.”
 

“The Tonale features one of my favorite aspects of the Alfa Romeo SUVs: Perfect balance…you never feel the weight of this car as you drive because its weight is perfectly distributed between the front and rear axles,” said Reiss. “You’d never know you’re driving an SUV; you can make turns with a single finger.”
