Can you tell me about the power of the Alfa Romeo Tonale?

In order to have you fully understand this model to the best of your abilities, we are checking out the propulsion options that you will be able to find. We’re happy to say that this is the most efficient C-SUV of its kind in the segment, providing you with an electric range of over 30 miles. You will also be getting a turbocharged MultiAir 1.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that will output 180 horsepower. This doesn’t even add in the power you get from the electric motors, nor the 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery. That means that no matter where you are going, you will be dealing with the kind of high-voltage Belt Starter Generator that can provide all of the torque and smooth transitioning you need depending on the driving conditions. You also get the benefit of a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, which can output around 295 pound-feet of torque and 256 horsepower. A six-speed automatic transmission comes with the plug-in hybrid engine, while this standard engine comes with a nine-speed automatic transmission.

What are the PHEV drive modes?

We’ve discussed the engines that you’ll be able to find, but we haven’t told you more about the three driving options that are offered with the PHEV engine. Each mode comes with its own kind of dynamics to make sure that you really do have the ability to customize every single drive that you are going on. The first of these is Dual power PHEV/Dynamic, which derives the performance from the maximum output of both the electric motor and the engine. You can also choose Natural, which offers the perfect balance of the engine and electric motor, which refuses to make any compromises on driving comfort or performance. The last drive mode to consider is Advanced efficiency, which is designed to travel in pure electric operation. This Alfa Romeo can get over 30 miles of all-electric range.

What kind of driving dynamics can I gain with the Tonale?

The last part of the Alfa Romeo Tonale that we want to go over are the kind of driving dynamics you will find. We want to tell you that you can gain fixed aluminum shift paddles, and you’ll be getting an integrated brake system. You’ll be driving around in a vehicle with the best weight distribution around, and the most direct steering in the entire segment. You will even be able to gain a fully independent suspension system. Some of the iconic features to make note of include an available Dual Stage Valve suspension, electric drive modes, and even fixed Brembo brake calipers.
