When the 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale is available at Alfa Romeo Ottawa, it will be taking on some strongest competitors available in the luxury compact crossover SUV class. The first time a customer takes a look at the 2023 Tonale, they will notice its uniquely Italian style that is highlighted by sweeping curves. Of course, the front of the 2023 Tonale is dominated by the automaker’s floating Scudetto shield.
2023 Tonale Performance & Efficiency
The 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale is available with two distinctly different powertrains. Standard models will use a turbocharged 2.0-litre, inline four-cylinder engine attached to a nine-speed automatic transmission. It will produce 256 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
The plug-in hybrid version uses a turbocharged 1.3-litre, four-cylinder mill that is paired to a six-speed automatic transmission and a high-capacity lithium-ion battery that powers an electric motor mounted to the rear axle. When the gasoline and electric systems are working together the Tonale PHEV model will make up to 272 horsepower. Additionally, the hybrid variant can make trips of up to 80 km, when the proper settings are applied.
Tonale Interior Features
Every Alfa Romeo vehicle platform has had an athletic, driver-centric interior. The 2023 Tonale certainly fits that mould, but the rest of the passengers will have plenty of room to be comfortable as well. Front passengers could be sitting in racing-inspired seats with side bolsters. The rear passengers will have a split-bench seat of their own. We are still waiting to learn about the exact interior and cargo dimensions for the new Alfa Romeo vehicle.
Technology
To be sure, there will be no lack of connectivity technology available with the 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale. Each new Tonale will be equipped with a 10.3-inch touchscreen interface, running one of the most well-regarded infotainment systems in the automotive industry. Drivers and passengers will also have wireless access to both the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto suites of applications. There is also a high level of compatibility with the Amazon Alexa digital home assistant that will vastly change the way people interact with the 2023 Tonale.
According to the latest available information, we are approximately a year away from seeing the 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale land in the Alfa Romeo Ottawa showroom.
