It’s the beginning of a new era for Alfa Romeo as the iconic Italian brand has unveiled its first-ever electrified model, the 2023 Tonale compact SUV. The Tonale is part of a radical evolution taking place at Alfa Romeo, with electrification and connectivity at its center.
Starting with the looks, the Tonale stays quite close to the namesake concept unveiled in 2019, sporting similar proportions and exterior lighting, albeit adapted for production. The full LED matrix headlights and LED taillights retain the signatures yet are thicker than on the concept, the rear door handles are conventional instead of hidden, and the production model gets actual side mirrors instead of cameras.
The Tonale is easily recognizable as an Alfa Romeo thanks to iconic styling cues such as the unmistakable "Trilobo" front end with the "Scudetto" shield at its center, "GT Line" that runs from the rear to the headlights, and telephone dial wheels.
