Alfa Romeo Tonale Review 2025
Alfa Romeo Tonale At A Glance
More stylish than most family SUVs. PHEV makes sense as a company car. Reasonably fun to drive.
Mild-hybrid engine isn't great. Poor ride quality. Interior quality is patchy.
Insurance Groups are between 28–38
On average it achieves 0% of the official MPG figure
The updated Alfa Romeo Tonale is a desirable family SUV intended to tempt buyers away from premium competitors including the Volvo XC40 and the BMW X1. It combines svelte Italian design with a stylish interior and a fun driving experience... so should it be on your new car shortlist? Read our full Alfa Romeo Tonale review to find out.
It's been hard to figure out Alfa Romeo's strategy in recent years. Having spent a long time borrowing less-than-brilliant platforms from cohorts like Fiat, the brand ploughed loads of money into a bespoke platform used for the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Alfa Romeo Stelvio, it then went back to its old tricks with the Alfa Romeo Tonale.
This borrowed the same base used for the 2017-on Jeep Compass, which you can trace back even further than that. To the Fiat Grande Punto, in fact. To Alfa's credit, it did a lot of work in overhauling it, but the Alfa Romeo Tonale felt like a very belated stab at the compact SUV market against some already very established rivals like the BMW X1, the extremely popular Volvo XC40 and the latest Audi Q3.
The result has been a mixed bag. Appealing in some ways, flawed in many others, as has so often been the way for Alfa Romeo models. Its sales impact appears to have been limited, but in 2025, a facelifted version arrived to try and turn the tide.
We suspect it still has its work cut out as the changes aren't massive. From the back, you probably won't even know you're looking at an updated Alfa Romeo Tonale. But the front has changed a fair bit, with a new triangular grille (Alfa Romeo calls this a 'trefoil') that looks a lot like the one found on the Alfa Romeo Junior.
Perhaps controversially, the number plate has moved from the traditional Alfa one side of the bumper placement to just below the grille. We gather this is a result of tightening regulations about how you can mount a number plate, which renders sticking it to one side on the Alfa Romeo Tonale not very feasible. Boo.
Relocated plate or not, it remains an attractive car. Perhaps the most handsome in the class. Not that this is particularly difficult given the kind of giant kidney grilles BMW is sticking on the X1 these days, but it's definitely a car we'd like to see more of on the roads.
Sadly, the driving experience still doesn't quite live up to the looks. Yes, it's quite fun to drive, but it lacks the polish of something like the aforementioned BMW X1 while the ride comfort is less-than brilliant. The engine line-up is a bit underwhelming, consisting only of a relatively underpowered 1.5-litre mild-hybrid and a punchy by expensive plug-in hybrid version.
The latter has been tweaked for smoother transitions between its power sources while the chassis has been tweaked. But ultimately, the Alfa Romeo Tonale is much the same proposition as it was before. For us, it remains a niche choice, especially with prices that put it firmly in the crosshairs of the BMW X1 and Audi Q3.
Alfa Romeo Tonale Ibrida plug-in hybrid: Range and charging
The plug-in hybrid version of the Alfa Romeo Tonale manages up to 38 miles of electric-only running according to the official figure. Bank on that being more like 30 miles in real-world driving conditions. From empty, it takes about two and a half hours to fully charge the high-voltage battery using a 7.4kW home wallbox and up to 10 hours from a three-pin plug.

- Readers report Real MPG to be between 48–48 mpg
Alfa Romeo Tonale 2025: Handling and ride quality
The platform of the previous-generation Jeep Compass, which is so old it has roots that can be traced back around two decades, doesn't sound like the most inspiring starting point for what's supposed to be a sporty handling SUV.
To Alfa Romeo's credit, it's changed quite a bit, giving the Alfa Romeo Tonale a bespoke chassis setup including a very fast steering ratio.
Facelifted models are further enhanced with an increase in suspension track width at the front, although the driving experience is much the same as before. It's more fun than the average family SUV, thanks in large part to that fast steering, although grip and traction levels are healthy, especially on the all-wheel drive PHEV.
The ride is quite strange. The Alfa Romeo Tonale's body often feels quite floaty - and yet, it's a firm-riding car that struggles to settle down and often thumps and crashes over bigger imperfections in the road surface. Dropping back to the softer mode for the adaptive dampers (where fitted) helps, but the balance never feels quite right.
It's definitely worth avoiding the optional 20-inch wheels we tried on the updated car. We've sampled earlier versions on the smaller wheels and they definitely give a greater level of comfort, if not entirely fixing the Alfa Romeo Tonale's ride problems.
Refinement at cruising speeds is so-so. You're fairly well insulated from road noise, even on the 20-inch wheels, but there's more wind noise than we'd like for what's supposed to be a premium car.
Alfa Romeo Tonale 2025: Engines
The Alfa Romeo Tonale was launched in mild hybrid form, using a (very) small battery and a 48-volt electric motor to provide a small amount of electrical assistance and it will coast downhill or creep to a stop with the engine off.
Said engine is a 177PS, 240Nm 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol which, with the aforementioned electrical assistance, can take the Alfa Romeo Tonale from a standstill to 62mph in a swift-enough 8.8 seconds.
It would be swift enough, at least, if it weren't for the slightly stodgy throttle response that can make a hasty getaway a slightly irksome affair.
Switching the Alfa's DNA controller to 'dynamic' mode does make things a bit livelier, although the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox holds onto low gears a little longer than necessary in this situation.
Although it's not cheap, the Alfa Romeo Tonale plug-in hybrid is probably the better option. It uses a smaller 1.3-litre petrol engine which works with an electric motor to provide quite punchy performance.
It accelerates to 62mph in 6.6 seconds and the petrol engine kicks in and out fairly seamlessly. The updated 2025 version is further improved in this regard, while the extra power provided by the hybrid setup is welcome.
Although the torque is still the same at 270Nm, the PHEV is slightly less powerful than before, dropping 10PS to 274PS, curiously translating into a sizeable four-tenth drop in the 0-62mph time, with pre-facelifted cars managing the benchmark in a more sprightly 6.2 seconds.
Alfa Romeo Tonale 2025: Safety
There's a lengthy list of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems fitted as standard to the Alfa Romeo Tonale, including adaptive cruise control (with lane centering) as well as intelligent speed control which will adjust your speed to the speed limit. There's also autonomous emergency braking and a driver attention monitor.
Euro NCAP awarded the Alfa Romeo Tonale a maximum five stars for safety when it was crash tested in 2022. Parents take note: the Alfa Romeo Tonale comes with Isofix child seat mounting points on the outer rear seats, but not for the middle seat or front passenger seat.
Alfa Romeo Tonale 2025: Towing
If you're looking to use the Alfa Romeo Tonale as a tow car, the Hybrid's towing capacity is limited to 1500kg, while the PHEV can tow just 1250kg. Both the Range Rover Evoque and BMW X1 can lug up to 2000kg (depending on specification) so it's worth looking elsewhere if you've got a caravan to tow.

Alfa Romeo Tonale 2025: Practicality
The Alfa Romeo Tonale doesn't actually feel that spacious up front - but that's mainly because of the relatively high dashboard and low seating position. It's designed to feel sporty, so you'd be better looking at the BMW X1 if you want a more open-plan interior.
There's enough space for adults to get comfortable in the front, though, while an array of stowage areas means you'll always find somewhere to store your odds and ends.
The rear seats feel a bit claustrophobic, partly because of the rising window line. You can squeeze three adults side-by-side but you might want to look at a slightly larger SUV if you plan to do so regularly - the middle seat is rather narrow while there's also an awkward bump in the floor where you'd want to rest your feet. There are Isofix mounting points on the outer rear seats.
In terms of boot size, the mild-hybrid Alfa Romeo Tonale can carry 500 litres of luggage - a figure which drops quite significantly in the PHEV, down to 385 litres. That's pretty poor for a family SUV and less than a BMW X1 plug-in hybrid can manage.
Alfa Romeo Tonale 2025: Quality and finish
If you're looking at premium SUVs like the BMW X1 and Volvo XC40, you're going to have high expectations when it comes to interior build quality.
Generally, the Alfa Romeo Tonale feels just about posh enough for a car of this price - but it doesn't exactly exceed expectations. There are a few brittle finishes here and there, while the buttons in some competitors just feel a bit more solid to touch. Meanwhile, the LED lights on the row of buttons near the new rotary gear selector are so dim it's a struggle to see them in daylight, which feels like quite an oversight.
Alfa Romeo Tonale 2025: Infotainment
The 10.25-inch infotainment display fitted to the Alfa Romeo Tonale was originally one of our favourite features of the car. It has fast responses and iPhone-like menu layouts that can be configured to your taste.
It's a shame it doesn't have a rotary controller for easier operation on the move, but with Amazon Alexa built in (as well as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay), you can just shout at it to perform essential tasks.
These days, though, it's looking on the smaller side compared to the units used in a lot of rival cars, which are also quicker to respond to touch. On the plus side, the 14-speaker Harman Kardon system sounds excellent. We're yet to find out how much it costs, but we suspect it'll be worth specifying.
As well as the central screen, the Alfa Romeo Tonale comes with a 12.3-inch TFT digital display behind the steering wheel. It's not as fancy as Audi's Virtual Cockpit, but it looks smart enough and there's a trio of layouts you can flick between.
Alfa Romeo Tonale value for money
Alfa Romeo Tonale 2025: Prices
Pricing for the updated model hadn't been revealed at the time of writing. Previously, prices ranged from £38,500 for an entry-level 1.5-litre version to over £55,000 for a top-spec plug-in hybrid. We can expect a modest rise for the facelifted car.
They're bold prices when the new BMW X1 can be picked up for around £37,000. But when you compare the Alfa Romeo Tonale like-for-like it starts to make a little more sense - even the most affordable models are well-equipped, while the mid-spec Ti strikes a good balance between price and equipment.
Alfa Romeo Tonale 2025: Running Costs
Although the Alfa Romeo Tonale Hybrid uses only the mildest of electrical assistance, it can officially see up to 47.9mpg (depending on trim level). That makes it pretty economical, although expect that figure to drop in the real world. High-mileage drivers should look at a diesel SUV alternative.
The Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV's 15.5kWh battery provides an electric-only range of 43 miles - a relatively long distance compared to some alternatives and far enough to bring savings in company car tax for business users.
The official fuel economy figure of up to 257mpg should probably be taken with a pinch of salt but, if you keep the Tonale PHEV charged and rarely venture beyond its electric range, it should be very efficient.

Alfa Romeo Tonale Plug-in Hybrid Q4 priced from £44,595
The Alfa Romeo Tonale Plug-In Hybrid Q4 completes the Tonale range combining maximum efficiency and sportiness: more than 49 miles in full-electric in the urban cycle, 372 miles in the total cycle and emissions reduced to 26g/km. The Alfa Romeo Tonale Plug-In Hybrid Q4 is available to order now, priced from £44,595 for the Speciale.
The powertrain in the Plug-in Hybrid Q4 makes it the most efficient Tonale in the range, offering the best in terms of performance and battery life. The advanced hybrid system combines a 180PS, 1.3-litre turbocharged MultiAir, 4-cylinder engine coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission to provide traction to the front axle, with an electric motor capable of supplying 90kW of max peak power and 250Nm of torque to the rear axle.
The 306-volt, 15.5kWh lithium-ion battery supplies an electric range of over 49 miles in the urban cycle and more than 372 miles of total range, making the Tonale Plug-in Hybrid one of the most efficient plug-in hybrid SUVs. The new hybrid powertrain reduces CO2 emissions to 29g/km and improves fuel consumption to deliver 217.3mpg in the WLTP cycle. With the aim of providing maximum efficiency, it takes less than 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery from a 7.4 kW charger.
Equipped with a Q4 all-wheel-drive system—the front wheels are powered by the internal combustion engine and the rear wheels are powered by the electric motor— helping to provide best-in-class agility, lightness and driving dynamics.
Its 280PS hybrid powertrain ensures it accelerates from zero to 62 mph in just 6.2 seconds and onto a top speed of 84 mph in full-electric mode and 128 mph in hybrid mode, with the e-AWD system providing instantaneous deployment of 100 per cent of available torque from the electric motor on the rear axle.
The advanced 4x4 hybrid system guarantees maximum stability both off-road and on. It does not physically connect the two propulsion systems, but rather coordinates them, making the Tonale Plug-In even lighter and unmatched in its handling.
On the Tonale Plug-In Hybrid Q4, the Alfa D.N.A. drive selector functionalities have been redesigned to enhance its efficiency and performance. It is possible to manage the Q4 traction and the electronic controls, coordinate the action of the engine and transmission and modify the sensitivity of the commands all on a single selector dial.
- Dynamic mode prioritises the vehicle’s performance with a specific calibration of the throttle, management of the transmission and stability controls, which have been combined with a more direct steering response.
- Natural mode uses hybrid driving and all-wheel drive to optimise the efficiency of the internal combustion engine and electric motor, without compromising performance.
- Advanced Efficiency obtains maximum energy efficiency in full-electric driving mode. When the driver removes their foot from the throttle the car will continue to drive in Sailing mode, while the new eCoasting Descent Control is activated when going downhill to maintain a constant speed of 31 mph (adjustable with a light touch of the throttle or brake).
The addition of EV features on the Tonale Plug-in Hybrid Q4 guarantee an even more efficient and relaxing driving experience. E-Save allows drivers to recharge or maintain the battery level when the internal combustion engine is on; the regenerative braking system allows drivers to recover energy during the phases of deceleration and braking, storing it in the battery pack, and by activating E-Coasting, energy recovery takes place even when slowing down without a foot on the brake pedal. The EV Features can be controlled by the driver through the instrument panel.
Superior software and connectivity have been provided as standard to offer the brand’s trademark driving pleasure, while guaranteeing a comfortable and connected experience. The integration with the Amazon Alexa voice assistant offers the convenience of interacting with the system without the driver having to remove their hands from the wheel. Amazon Alexa also allows the driver to remain updated on the state of the vehicle from the comfort of their home, providing useful information like the state of charge of the battery in the Tonale Plug-In Hybrid.
The brand-new infotainment system comes as standard and offers functionality and services which are constantly updated via its customisable Android operating system and 4G connectivity with Over The Air (OTA) updates. The high-resolution 22.5-inch screens — 12.3-inch totally digital screen and 10.25-inch main touchscreen unit — features an intuitive and easy-to-use system. The dials in the Tonale Plug-in Hybrid Q4 includes features such as the elettro-biscione, in the lower part of the right dial, which changes colour based on the electric motor’s status (off, on, on and charging) and provides all the information related to power and charging.
Four new functionalities make their debuts on the Tonale Plug-in Hybrid Q4 and further expand upon the Alfa Connect Services:
- E-control: allows the customer to control various functionalities based on the EV features—including charging and the climate control system— directly from the My Alfa Connect App
- Dynamic Range Mapping: allows drivers to travel with peace of mind, showing them the destinations they can reach based on the battery charge
- Charging Station Finder: allows the customer to see the nearest public charging stations both on the navigation system map and the My Alfa Connect app
- My eCharge: allows for the use of the My Alfa Connect app to directly access Free2Move eSolutions services to manage public and private charging. It will be possible to locate the public charging stations, check the charging methods, make payments, visualise the charge history and manage charging from a home Wallbox – allowing drivers to decide how much electricity to use and even increase, decrease, suspend and reactivate the charge
The Tonale Plug-In Hybrid Q4 has further built upon an ecosystem of Alfa Romeo services to offer an innovative customer journey, including a Non-Fungible-Token (NFT) certificate on the blockchain. Introduced on the Tonale, NFT technology is a brand-new feature in the automotive world and Alfa Romeo is the first manufacturer to connect an NFT digital certificate to a vehicle. Based on the customer’s selection, the NFT generates a certificate which guarantees the identity and maintenance record of the vehicle, supporting its residual value. The NFT certificate provides a further source of credibility on the used market and is even more valuable on the Tonale Plug-In Hybrid Q4 as it contains even more information.
The Tonale Plug-in Hybrid Q4 is the top-of-the-range model. It is available in Ti trim, with an elegant and distinctive character, and Veloce trim, with a more sporty feeling.
The Ti version is externally distinguished by a satin chrome V front bezel, 18-inch dark finish diamond cut alloy wheels with coloured Alfa Romeo centre wheel caps, a gloss-black body kit, with satin side and front inserts, privacy glass and black painted mirror caps. Inside, sporty black cloth upholstery, driver’s seat with four-way lumbar adjustment, 60/40 split rear seats with ski pass and sport leather steering wheel with start button complete the Ti.
The Veloce builds on this with dark miron V front bezel, veloce badging and body kit, with matt side and front inserts, gloss black window surround, and 19-inch dark finish diamond cut alloy wheels with monochrome Alfa Romeo centre wheel caps and red painted Brembo brake calipers. Inside, the Veloce adds aluminium door sills and column mounted aluminium shift paddles to its distinctive black and red Alcantara upholstery. Under the skin, the Veloce also gains Alfa Dual Stage Valve suspension (DSV) for an even more compliant ride.
The Tonale Plug-In Hybrid Q4 will also be available as an exclusive SPECIALE launch version with enhanced contents and connectivity including gloss black body kit with titanium side and front inserts, a SPECIALE badge on the wing and a black Tonale badge, 20-inch alloy wheels, metal pedals and red Brembo brake calipers.
The Tonale range is available in a choice of six solid, metallic and tri-coat colours – Alfa White, Alfa Red, Alfa Black, Misano Blue, Montreal Green and Vesuvio Grey. A leather pack is available on all trims to enhance their standard interior offering.
The Tonale Plug-In Hybrid Q4 is a milestone in the Alfa Romeo journey from ‘zero to zero’, which will take it from being a zero per cent electrified brand at the start of 2022 to being a zero-emissions and 100 per cent electrified brand in 2027. The new Alfa Romeo Tonale Plug-In Hybrid Q4 is priced from £445* per month on PCP in Speciale trim, rising to £545* for a Veloce. Orders are now open for the Veloce and Speciale, with first deliveries taking place in Q1, while TI will be available to order in Q2.

Alfa Romeo unveils new Tonale trim line-up and pricing structure
Alfa Romeo has revised its trim levels and pricing for Tonale models, which the firm claims represents better value.
The trim line up has been revised with Sprint, Veloce and new range topping Tributo Italiano variants. The Tonale is available for the first time in Sprint trim, replacing the previous TI version.
Tonale Sprint models benefit from sportier aesthetic enhancements over the previous TI variants, including black inserts on the body kit and skid plate, black and white wheel centre caps and a dark Miron scudetto front grille. The Tonale is also available with a highly shock resistant, 15g wearable key, that is water resistant up to 15 metres.
Prices for the Tonale Sprint start at £35,995 for the 1.5-litre MHEV 160 DCT model, while £1,525 has been cut from the MHEV Veloce price too.
Tonale Veloce variants also benefit from an increased specification, including heated leather seats as standard with four-way driver and passenger lumbar adjustment, a heated steering wheel and washer nozzles and ambient dash lighting. On the exterior, the body kit is now gloss black.
Tributo Italiano models are available exclusively in the three colours of the Italian flag and feature exterior stylistic additions including body coloured bodykit and interior changes including new perforated leather seats with red accents.
March 2025
Range-topping Alfa Romeo Tonale Intensa models start at £46,855
Alfa Romeo has announced the new top of the range Tonale Intensa, with prices starting at £46,855.
The Intensa trim is a new range-topping model line that has been introduced to the Junior, Giulia, Stelvio and Tonale ranges.

Alfa Romeo reveals significantly revised Tonale
Alfa Romeo has given the Tonale a comprehensive update to keep its C-segment SUV fresh. The revised model features new bumpers, wheels and badges, while the interiors get new upholsteries, a redesigned centre tunnel and new gear selector.
Buyers have new paint colours to choose from, including metallic Brera Red, Monza Green and Ocra. An optional black roof is now available.
Revisions have also taken place to the chassis, with a wider track and retuned control of the suspension and brakes key additions.
Alfa Romeo has also simplified the Tonale range. Entry level Tonale versions get LED headlights and 17-inch alloys, fabric upholstery with contrast stitching, digital dials and an Alfa Connect infotainment system with a 10.25-inch display and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Tonale Ti models add gloss black trim, heated and ventilated front leather seats, a heated steering wheel and aluminium paddle shifters.
Range topping Tonale Veloce trim includes 19-inch alloys, Matrix LED headlights and dual-valve dampers.
There's also a Sport Speciale special edition offered to coincide with the arrival of the revised Tonale, based on the top of the range trim, but with different trim colours and Alcantara used throughout the interior.
