I’m still convinced that PHEVs have a lot of potential, especially when it comes to persuading car shoppers about why they should ditch all-gas completely and move into something more efficient. After I drove the Alfa Romeo Tonale for a week, I can tell you that it is a refreshing change to all of the other PHEVs I’ve tested in the last few months.
The Italian car maker only sells a few models stateside, with the Alfa Romeo Tonale being one of three. Specifically, I got to test out the 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale Speciale, which has an MSRP of $49,500. On top of its hybrid power, there’s a dedicated 15.5 kWh battery that offers an EPA-estimated range of 33 miles. Similar to other PHEVs, your reliance on gas is lessened thanks to that battery, which in turn, could save you money in the long run.
