CarTell take
We haven't driven the Tonale yet. On paper, alfa Romeo dealer network is small in Australia, service coverage thinner than German rivals. 1.5 MHEV is competent rather than charismatic for the badge, the PHEV is the version that justifies the price.
Why consider it
- Alfa-tuned variable-ratio steering, telescope-style digital instrument cluster, and a Veloce Q4 PHEV with 206 kW combined, AWD and 69 km of WLTP EV range.
- 5-star ANCAP against the 2022 protocol.
What to know
- PHEV boot drops from 500L (MHEV) to 385L (PHEV) thanks to the under-floor battery.
- Veloce Q4 PHEV at $78,990 plus on-roads pushes into Q5 PHEV territory.
Who it suits
Driving enthusiasts who want Italian character in a small luxury SUV, PHEV commuters who can charge at home nightly, and brand loyalists wanting the first Alfa SUV under the Stelvio price point.
