Used Alfa Romeo Tonale
It's noted for offering the brand’s famous design flair, plus responsive technology and low running costs, all wrapped in a spacious package. Crafted to stand out from the usual crowd of family SUVs, the Tonale debuted in 2022 as Alfa Romeo’s first mid-size crossover and first electrified model. It blends driver-focused agility with everyday usability, offering plenty of legroom and a handy boot, with mild-hybrid models featuring a height-adjustable boot floor. The first generation is petrol-only with mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrains designed for lower emissions and some electric driving. Compared to rivals like BMW X1, Audi Q3 and Volvo XC40, the Tonale offers impressive standard features and strong styling, though running costs, space and long-term value are important considerations.
Pros
Distinctive Alfa Romeo design- Hybrid engines for about-town efficiency
- Grippy, with well-cushioned suspension to boost ride quality
Cons
Lightweight steering calls for lots of corrections- PHEV boot accommodates the battery, so is small
- Shoulder room for three rear-seat passengers is tight
