About the Vehicle:
In a fluid class with some strong near-luxury and prestige brands with the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale Hybrid creates a striking package that seats five with calm road manners. This model’s design, which heavily nods to its Dodge cousin the Hornet with its perky lines and slightly bulbous shape, is framed by the distinctive grille, gorgeous colors, and neat badging. More than one passerby gave the hat tip of appreciation as it rolled past. It’s striking and beautiful to behold. The appearance is pure Italian luxury but attainably modern.
Around town, the mom in me found that I loved the accurate 77 MPGe. It’s such a treat to only add gas one time in a week or even just make use of the electric power to run around the neighborhood. The efficiency paired with a zippy engine made the everyday journey more fun and simplified the experience. The 2025 Tonale Hybrid elevates the experience even more with fine embossing on the front head rests, circular air vents that remind you of the classic line, a dash that is truly driver focused and a blend of smooth leather and fine metallic trim. The interior feels premium throughout and welcoming for all passengers within.
How It Feels:
I found that the streamlined driver assistance and UConnect 5 safety suite, accessible through the infotainment screen was simple to use and made the six-speed automatic feel a touch peppier than the 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor belies. It backed up by a 12.0-kWh lithium-ion battery that delivers a combined 285-horsepower rating which is enough power for most driver’s daily usage needs.
Polished, good looks inside and out with a premium Harmon/Kardon sound system that made my audiobook and the kids’ playlists sing through clear and bright made for comfortable drive that left me smiling and thinking that this is a nice, family-friendly way to experience a brand that I’ve loved for years. Simple connectivity accessible through the 10.3-inch infotainment system with a customizable home screen delivers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There’s also charging ports and a wireless charging pad for your ease of use.
The Alfa Romeo Tonale Hybrid also delivers a satisfying drive aimed at comfort and convenience over traditionally expected Alfa traits of speed and torque. This year’s streamlined lineup offers a well-rounded option that reads the room well and delivers accessible luxury wrapped up in an Alfa Romeo bow.
