The plug-in hybrid AlfaRomeo Tonale has arrived in the UK, priced from £44,595 or £445 a month on PCP finance 👀
If you prefer to pay monthly for the Tonale PHEV, main dealer finance starts at £445 a month over four years with a £9899 deposit on an Alfa Romeo PCP for a Tonale Plug-In Hybrid Speciale model.Volvo XC40 PHEVThe Tonale’s PHEV system comprises a 1.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, a 90kW electric motor and a 15.5kWh battery pack. The system has a combined output of 276bhp and 295lb ft of torque – and Alfa Romeo says it’ll return up to 256.
Alfa offers the engine in two states of tune – 128bhp and 158bhp – but only the more powerful option will be offered to UK buyers. Alfa Romeo says both systems have the efficiency of a diesel engine and, thanks to the electric motor, they’ll both offer strong acceleration. During WLTP testing, Alfa also said the system’s electric motor operated for around 50 percent of the time.
The Tonale’s bulging leather driver’s seat feels both commandingly high and sportily snug, flanked by a wide centre console with an artfully embossed central cubby. The steering wheel feels silky to the touch, the switches high quality and with the DNA drive mode selector offered up to the driver. Veloce cars have aluminium shift paddles. The only detected weakness was a slightly hollow-feeling, unpadded central tunnel.
‘We’ve developed the suspension set-up specifically for the Tonale, we worked very much on it,’ says Tonale product manager Luis Miguel Dasso Lang. ‘We wanted to repeat the same feeling as the Giulia and Stelvio, particularly with very direct steering – as an Alfa should be.’
