Stellantis is "clenching his teeth" so that the scoops he has stuck see the light as soon as possible. One of the ones that is giving him the most headaches is that of new Alfa Romeo Tonale. The Biscione's house SUV has been on the exit ramp longer than they would have liked. The reasons for so much delay are many and varied but one after another they have put him in a very compromised situation because his rivals are already very well placed...
Be that as it may, in Alfa Romeo they hope to give a blow of effect when they reveal their design and technique. Their confidence in the new Tonale is high and according to how they have announced its official presentation, they could still give us a surprise. In the time they have needed to, among others, tuning plug-in hybrid powertrain they could still have tweaked other areas of their technique or design. At least that's what you might think from the motto they use...
The official debut of the long-awaited Alfa Romeo Tonale will take place on February 8…
Yes, because to announce the Official debut of the new Alfa Romeo Tonale the brand has published a new teaser. It is not that much is seen in it, but there are two very important data. The first has to do with the date chosen to carry out the presentation event. If all goes according to plan, the next February 8 at 15:00 p.m. in Europe we will be able to know its design and all (or a large part) of its technical secrets.
Secondly, we have the illustration that they have chosen to put the “bite in our bodies”. It's about the luminous signature that the rear optics will show. They have created an electrocardiogram line that plays with the following motto: "La Metamorfosi". Therefore, we could say that this line of life is the one that confirms that the brand still has "rope for a while" and that this slogan would mean that the Tonale will mark a turning point...
For now the information of the new Alfa Romeo Tonale is limited but the rumors have recapitulated certain data. It looks like, will reach 4,52 meters long, 1,83 meters wide and 1,60 meters high. In addition, it would have a wheelbase that would reach 2,63 meters. Regarding its mechanical range, it is speculated that the PHEV plug-in hybrid version will start from a 1.3 FireFly block with a maximum power close to 240 CV.
In this case the electric motor would be in the rear train in order to offer Q4 all-wheel drive. For its part, it is believed that the lithium ion battery will have a capacity of 11,4 kWh. As for other alternatives, everything indicates that there will be a four-cylinder turbo with and without micro hybridization with between 130 and 160 horsepower. A diesel version It would also be on the roadmap with about 130 hp. Will it be true and enough to overcome your rivals?
