Say hello to the Alfa's baby SUV the 2023 Tonale. Seemingly official images of the upcoming compact crossover have already leaked online. Details are sketchy, but we've still got some basics on what the SUV looks like and some details about the powertrain.

2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale

After what seems like an eternity, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio will finally debut tomorrow. It was supposed to debut late last year, however owing to things beyond Alfa's control like the ongoing chip crisis meant a delay, but nonetheless, the wait is almost over.

Exterior Design

The design has stayed true to the Tonale concept that we saw in 2019. In the two years since that concept was shown, the final car looks near identical to it. Alejandra Mesonero-Romanos and his team have done a masterful job of bringing Alfa's design to the compact SUV body style. The Tonale is clearly trying to stand out and bring a sense of style and pizazz to another crowded part of the market. From some angles, the Tonale looks like a scaled-down version of its bigger brother the Stelvio, which is no bad thing.

Having said that, the overall design is fuss-free there are barely any lines. The Tonale has its own distinctive design highlights as the front end is far sharper when compared to the rest of Alfa's current range, while the tail-end is pretty much identical to what we've already seen on the concept.

Interior & Features

The interior pictures show a sporty cabin reminiscent of a true Alfa. You're greeted with apurposeful and meaty steering wheel wrapped in leather and in keeping with the times, you have a substantial infotainment and drivers instrument panel. We expect the tradtional values of an Alfa to be carried over with true Italian crafstmanship.

Here's a closer look at the Powertrains on the new Tonale. For the frist time ever, you'll be able to experience emmissions free, pure-electric mode on an Alfa Romeo.

Conclusion

Alfa Romeo's current portfolio is minuscule. They just have the Giulia sedan and the bigger Stelvio SUV in their current lineup. Compact crossovers being all the rage these days, the iconic Italian brand may finally have a winner on their hands with the new Tonale, as it seeks to bring in the sales numbers that Alfa has always desired. It will all come down to how Alfa price their baby crossover as the space is already flodded with several other options. You can watch our full coveregae of the Alfa Romeo Tonale at 15:00 CET tomorrow.
