Discount-eligible
The Tonale’s Canadian base price is no surprise, as it qualifies the model for the $5,000 federal government rebate, in addition to those offered in some provinces.
“We look forward to launching the all-new Alfa Romeo Tonale and competing in the premium compact SUV segment with the brand's first plug-in hybrid proposition,” said Larry Dominique, senior vice president and head of Alfa Romeo North America. “The Tonale is positioned directly in one of the largest volume segments with best-in-class 285 hp and an electric range of more than 48 km as the next generation of electrified Alfa Romeo vehicles enter the market.”
As for the plug-in hybrid powertrain, in addition to being composed of the aforementioned components, it also features a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery and a 90-kW electric motor to offer an electric range of 48 km, at least, the automaker promises. Each Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV is in all-wheel-drive configuration.
As for the gas-only version, power is 256 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, new standards in the segment.
Of course, once we have the model in hand, we'll be able to analyze it in more detail, especially in terms of build quality, driving pleasure, safety features and on-board technology.
