Alfa Romeo Tonale
The beginning of a new Alfa Romeo era
REINVENTING SPORTINESS FOR THE 21° CENTURY
The new Tonale marks the entry of Alfa Romeo in the world of electrification, with specific solutions created to enhance its DNA.
The excellent balance of weight between the front and rear axles, specific to the Alfa Romeo tradition of construction, ensure Tonale drivers an unparalleled level of driving pleasure. Specifically, the Tonale versions equipped with front-wheel drive use the excellent balance of masses to optimise torque delivery on the ground and handling on corners; the latter is further emphasised in the Q4 all-wheel drive version by the torque available on the ground for each axle.
Natural and instinctive, precise and direct, Tonale leads the C-SUV with the most direct steering ratio, 13.6. Combined with advanced front-wheel suspension systems, it redefines how a SUV should feel on the road.
Tonale also features another distinctive Alfa Romeo trait: all-aluminium, mono-block, steering column-mounted paddle shifters.
Alfa Romeo Tonale is the only model in its segment to be equipped with the cutting-edge “brake by wire” system, known as IBS. Innovation and performance, mechanics and electronics, all come together to provide increased brake responsiveness on the road and the best brake pedal feeling. This system allows you to maximise energy regeneration with zero vibrations and shortened stopping distances.
Overall braking performance is enhanced by the adoption of fixed calipers by Brembo, with 4 pistons and self-ventilated discs at the front and full discs at the rear, makes a contribution to the improved braking performance.
The all-new Tonale features the latest in the evolution of intelligent suspension systems. The “Dual Stage Valve” system adapts in milliseconds to road conditions and driving behaviour.
Choose between Comfort or Sport and experience how a special valve and piston independently regulate the electronic shock absorbers and dampers. These two suspension modes are selectable within the three driving modes, Advanced Efficiency and Normal with Comfort, for a smoother ride on all roads. In contrast, the Dynamic driving mode calibrates the Sport suspension for increased handling through turns and an enhanced sporty feel.
The front-wheel-drive versions of Tonale, come standard with the the Alfa Romeo electronic self-locking differential To guarantee perfect traction for a smooth driving experience, emphasising the agility and sporty character of this car, with a further positive impact in terms of safety.
Built into the DNA selector, the system and combined with the MacPherson front suspension, it ensures sporty and effective driving dynamics by controlling the vehicle stability, and by redirecting the power to the wheels when accelerating on corners. The system also provides greater control on slippery surfaces, as well as greatly reducing understeer, transferring torque from the inner to the outer wheel, so as to ensure longitudinal acceleration and consequently better road holding.
