Alfa Romeo has officially released its 2026 Tonale, a bold evolution of its compact SUV that fuses breathtaking design and premium technology. With refreshed styling, new performance details and a special edition trim, the 2026 Tonale is a clear depiction of Alfa Romeo's ambition to lead in the luxury SUV market.
This design offers a bold new look with traditional Italian flair. With its updated framework, it is the blueprint for the Alfa Romeo belief that beauty is a concept. Leading this philosophy is a redesigned front fascia anchored by a new concave scudetto grille which pays homage to the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. Complemented by sharper trilobe lower intakes and wider front and rear tracks, the fresh look gives the Tonale a more planted and aggressive appearance.
Subtle changes to the proportions, like a shorter front overhang, further enhance its athletic stance. Its renewed Alfa Romeo badge in a modern black-and-white theme adds sophistication, while newly designed wheels, including a stunning 20-inch three-hole option, round out the exterior updates.
Introducing the Sport Speciale Edition
For 2026, the Tonale is offered in Sprint, Veloce and Sport Speciale trims, but the standout of the lineup is the Sport Speciale, a limited-edition trim that brings exclusive visual and performance-oriented features. This model includes silver accents along the side skirts and rear bumper, gloss black Brembo brake calipers and an opposing black roof for added spectacle. The unique 20-inch wheel design is inspired by Alfa Romeo’s classic telephone dial motif.
Not only does the Sport Speciale exude elegance with its the exterior elements, its interior adds to the polish. Featuring black-and-pearl Alcantara seats, accented by white contrast stitching and a matching Alcantara-trimmed dash, the ambient lighting components heighten the performance-driven atmosphere.
Redesigned Interior: Comfort Meets Character
For the first time ever, the 2026 Tonale offers the option of red leather seating with red stitching accents now extending across the dashboard, door panels and armrest. Seats trimmed in leather or Alcantara support heating, ventilation, power adjustability and lumbar.
Three new eye-catching exterior colors — Rosso Brera, Verde Monza, and Giallo Ocra — debut in 2026, bringing the total paint options to eight.
In terms of performance, the 2026 Tonale continues to offer a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine producing 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The standard Q4 all-wheel-drive system ensures confident handling in all conditions.
