The Tonale is a small luxury SUV that slots under the Alfa Stelvio in price and size.
It comes standard as a 2.0-liter turbo and higher trims are powered by a plug-in hybrid, with a 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
The gas engine drives the front wheels and an electric motor provides power to the rear, giving it a combined 285 hp and all-wheel drive.
We found it to be quite quick, but the power delivery is inconsistent.
The EPA estimates the Tonale plug-in hybrid can drive 32 miles on electric power.
We measured 29 mpg when it operates as a hybrid.
Handling is rather bland for an Alfa, and the ride is stiff, the cabin is loud, and interior materials are unimpressive for the price.
We found that many of the controls are unintuitive to use.
The Tonale SUV is the latest addition to the Alfa Romeo line.
About the size of an Audi Q3, the Jeep Compass-based Tonale slots under the Stelvio in price and size.
It comes as a standard plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, which Alfa Romeo says will have over 30 miles of electric range before transitioning to regular hybrid mode.
A 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine drives the front wheels, while an electric motor powers the rear, giving the Tonale a combined 285 hp and standard all-wheel drive.
As a member of the Stellantis conglomerate, the Tonale gets the Uconnect 5 infotainment system.
AEB with pedestrian detection, AEB highway, BSW, RCTW, LKA, LDW, and ACC are standard.
