The development of the Alfa Romeo Tonale is entering its final stretch, so we expect to see prototypes in the coming months. The Arese brand always keeps a very special zeal with the development of its new models, not letting them be seen. In fact, no spy photos have been seen so far, and there are prototypes, so we expect a slip-up in the next nine months.
Because if Alfa Romeo does not want the new compact SUV to be seen, it will achieve it, as it did with the Giulia and the Stelvio that took them out camouflaged well into the final stretch of their set-up, and both were just as expected. Nine-month deadline because in September 2021 the model is scheduled to be officially presented. The Biscione brand has established a specific schedule for what is the most important model to recover the brand, even though it is under the umbrella of PSA.
The Alfa Romeo Tonale is one of the most anticipated models on the market
The manufacturer is finishing adapting the Pomigliano d’Arco assembly line for the production of the Tonale, a process that they hope to have completed by the beginning of next summer, so production will begin practice in the middle of the second season of the year. The aim of the firm is to satisfy the demand in the main European markets, although the first units will be a special launch edition that will go on sale in November, with a limited number for all of Europe.
Compared to the conceptual preview we saw at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, the production Tonale has barely left 10% in this transition, so it will maintain a very sporty and elegant design, with a perfectly recognizable light signature on the face. rear, while in the front it has lost the divided projectors that reminded the image of the old SZ Zagato. Some modifications have affected the headlights and rear-view mirrors.
Inside, there will be no major changes. The firm will retain practically all the design of the dashboard or, making use of the advanced technologies and quality materials that Alfa Romeo has under its belt. The range of engines will be inherited from the new Jeep Renegade, including also the plug-in hybrid with a maximum power that will reach 250 hp, a dozen more than the Jeep. The Tonale will begin arriving in dealerships in February 2022.
