Recently, I had the opportunity to take a look at the 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale Veloce EAWD and even test-drove this plug-in hybrid car. Although I had never experienced the Alfa Romeo brand before, I had seen some of their vehicles on the roads in upscale areas in Atlanta.
About the 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale Veloce EAWD
Introducing the new 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale - a stunning transformation of the iconic brand. This luxurious vehicle perfectly blends electrification, connectivity, and racing heritage.
As the first C-SUV from Alfa Romeo, North American consumers can enjoy over 110 years of heritage with the latest and most efficient powertrain options.
You can choose from two powertrain offerings, including a plug-in hybrid that can run up to 30 miles (48 kilometers) on pure electric power, with best-in-class 285 horsepower and 347 lb.-ft. of torque.
The Tonale has recently completed final EPA testing with an impressive 33 miles of electric range and an MPGe rating of 77. The Alfa Romeo Tonale can travel up to 360 miles with a full battery charge. Its combined fuel economy is 29 MPG.
My Thoughts about the Alfa Romeo Tonale Veloce EAWD
The first thing that caught my attention was the front grille, which has a Viper-like design, making the vehicle look edgy and sharp. And the fiery red color makes the car look smoking hot!
This high-end Italian car is ideal for young adults, singles, and those looking to enter the luxury vehicle market. However, it doesn't suit me well as it has a small physique.
Due to limited space, Mr. M and I struggled to get comfortable in the car. We had to scramble around to find places for our belongings in the back seat. Although we could have stored our items in the trunk, we didn't consider it necessary for our short drive.
When I began driving, I observed that the acceleration was somewhat sluggish. However, once the car was in gear and I pressed down on the gas pedal, it quickly picked up speed, and we were zooming down the road.
The cloth seating made the inside look cheap for a luxury vehicle, but you have the option of having leather seating. Also, you can add a sunroof too.
During our conversation in the car, Mr. M mentioned that he found the speaker sound quality lacking compared to his Mercedes' crystal-clear and hard-hitting sound.
After briefly spending time with the Alfa Romeo Tonale, I believe it to be a decent C-SUV.
The Alfa Romeo Tonale comes in three trims, Sprint, Ti, and Veloce.
The starting price is $43K, with the top trim price at $51K. The pricing is excellent for the Tonale, making having a luxury car affordable.
