Alfa Romeo Tonale (2022-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Stylish good looks show real flair	Quite cramped in the back seats
Sporty ride and handling	The full hybrid powertrain is short of outright space
Lots of luggage space	Mainstream rivals offer similar practicality and tech for less cash

Quick Summary

The Alfa Romeo Tonale (2022-present) is a stylish small family SUV, marking a new era for Alfa under Stellantis. It's offered with a 158bhp mild-hybrid powertrain or a more powerful 276bhp plug-in hybrid with Q4 all-wheel drive and a 37-mile electric range. While its C-segment size means practicality for average-sized adults, the MHEV boasts a generous 500-litre boot, though the PHEV's is smaller. The cabin offers a comfortable and classy feel with excellent tech, including a responsive 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital driver's display.

Driving dynamics are mixed; while the Tonale offers sporty handling, strong grip, and a decent ride, both hybrid powertrains suffer from a noticeable lazy throttle response and can feel less potent than their figures suggest. Running costs are competitive for a premium SUV, with the MHEV achieving around 49mpg. Despite some minor interior material issues and inconsistent steering feel, the Tonale presents a distinct, well-equipped, and stylish alternative in a crowded market.

Best for: Drivers seeking a stylish and distinctive small family SUV, those prioritising high levels of standard equipment and competitive running costs for a premium brand. Buyers who appreciate sporty handling and a comfortable, tech-rich cabin.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising maximum rear passenger space, those needing instant throttle response, or those unwilling to regularly charge the PHEV. Also, those who prefer the absolute lowest purchase price over premium features.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tonale if: You're looking for a stylish, well-equipped, and distinct small family SUV with sporty handling and decent ride comfort. It's also a good choice if you appreciate electrified powertrains and competitive running costs for a premium brand.

Consider alternatives if: You need more rear passenger space, desire more immediate performance and throttle response, or prefer a less premium-badged car for a lower purchase price.

Competitive Position: The Alfa Romeo Tonale carves out a unique niche in the crowded small family SUV segment by offering a blend of distinctive Italian style, high standard equipment levels, and a notably sporty driving feel. While its hybrid powertrains can be unrefined and its rear passenger space is merely adequate, its competitive pricing against rivals like the Audi Q3, combined with modern tech and efficient electrified options, makes it an appealing choice for those seeking something beyond the mainstream, provided they can overlook its performance quirks.
