Alfa Romeo Tonale breaks cover as brand's first ever plug-in hybrid electric car
- Alfa Romeo Tonale will be offered with multiple engine options and boasts of sharp looks and well-appointed cabin.
Alfa Romeo Tonale has been officially unveiled and is the first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) from the Italians ever. Boasting of a max power output of 272 hp, the Alfa Romeo Tonale is a compact crossover vehicle that is scheduled for a launch in the US in 2023.
With the automotive world taking massive strides in the electrification arena, many are also opting to test waters with hybrid vehicles before relying on full electric power. Alfa Romeo, a company that traces its origins back to 1910, is betting big on Tonale to set the tone for it in global markets.

Alfa Romeo Tonale specifications:
The Tonale from Alfa Romeo is powered by a 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder which is mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox. There is also a more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission unit and offers All-Wheel Drive.
Much of the focus on the Tonale is also on its 15.5-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery which, according to Alfa Romeo, will help it go around 50 kms on electric power alone. It can be charged to full in around two hours.
In markets outside of the US, the Tonale will reportedly be offered with two 1.5-litre mild hybrid engine options and those in Europeans will also get to choose a diesel option if so desired.
