The Tonale’s power makes its debut on the road in Tempio Voltiano, the celebrated location of Alessandro Volta’s inventions in the beautiful setting of Lake Como. A symbolic location to highlight the brand’s “metamorphosis”, it was here more than 200 years ago that the Italian scientist created his most famous invention: the battery, the first generator of dynamic electricity. A scientific landmark in modern history, this instrument allows our technological civilization to function.  A precursor to the concept of sustainability, Alessandro Volta obsessively studied nature in order to replicate it for the benefit of humanity. This innovative approach, which is fully embraced by Alfa Romeo, demonstrates how, with its “mechanical creations”, sustainable technological development must imitate nature and take inspiration from it in order to adapt and live in harmony with it. Therefore, the Italian brand’s latest chapter couldn’t help but begin in Tempio Voltiano. With Tonale, Alfa Romeo has radically evolved and launched itself into a new, technological, sustainable and electrified era.

The Tonale’s road capabilities are clear. The technology and connectivity on board make it the most technological Alfa Romeo to date. It combines quality and attention-to-detail with dynamic features to reinvent sportiness in the 21^st century.

The brand’s first electrified compact SUV reinvents sportiness in the 21^st century by ensuring an authentic “hybrid experience”, thanks to state-of-the-art electrification system conceived of to be at the service of the brand.
The Tonale debuts the 160-hp Hybrid VGT (Variable-Geometry Turbo) engine, an exclusive for Alfa Romeo. Its variable-geometry turbocharger paired with 7-speed Alfa Romeo TCT dual-clutch transmission and the 48-volt 15-kW, 55-Nm “P2” electric motor (135 Nm thanks to the 2.5:1 transmission ratio) makes it possible to propel the wheels even when the internal combustion engine is turned off. Thanks to this technical solution it is possible to travel in electric mode up to 15kW in every situation in which it is necessary, like driving at low speeds, parking and cruising, in order to provide an authentic hybrid driving experience.
In order to maximize performance and efficiency, a second generation 48 volt lithium-ion highly perfomative battery has been chosen: thanks to its high power (up to 22 kW) it is possible to power the electric traction motor in the best way, moreover its capacity (0.8 kWh) is more than twice as high as the batteries commonly used on BSG hybrid systems. The new battery has a volume of about 11 liters and is therefore very compact: it does not affect the size of the trunk because it is installed under the central tunnel, between the front seats. The "dual voltage" system with DC/DC converter from 48 to 12 Volts manages the interface with the electrical architecture of the vehicle.
Thanks to its technology, the Tonale 48V Hybrid VGT offers the typical performance of a gas engine, which is improved thanks to the responsiveness of the electric motor. Acceleration is consistent with extremely linear power delivery, but with consumption which is comparable to a diesel engine.
The entry point to the Tonale world is the 130-hp hybrid version, the new 4-cylinder 1.5-liter turbo gasoline engine with 130 hp of output and 240 Nm of peak torque with 7-speed Alfa Romeo TCT and 48-volt “P2” 15 kW and 55 Nm electric motor.

 

All the specifications of the Hybrid versions 

Designed to optimize thermodynamics, and therefore to save on fuel consumption, the new 4-cylinder turbocharged engine has a high compression ratio (12.5:1), a new cylinder head with compact combustion chamber, dual variable valve timing, and special ‘high-tumble’ intake ducts. Its specifications include the fact it operates on the Miller cycle and also features the all-new high-pressure direct injection system, operating at up to 350 bar.
The 160-hp version is an Alfa Romeo exclusive. Thanks to a new variable-geometry turbocharger it is capable of combining great responsiveness at lower speeds and high power for a sportier drive, all while maintaining a high level of efficiency. The input powertrain delivers an output of 130 hp and peak torque reaches 240 Nm.
A belt starter generator is also installed in both engines to guarantee fast and silent transitions when restarting. The Intelligent Brake System optimizes the ‘auto-recharge’ feature and uses mixed regenerative braking to maximize the recovery of kinetic energy during deceleration to improve efficiency.
These exclusive technical solutions guarantee high and efficient performance and provide customers with an authentic hybrid experience. This is possible thanks to the pairing of the new 1.5-liter gasoline engine and electric motor, which provide optimal responsiveness. Plus, the numerous features offered by Tonale make the driving experience even more comfortable, including:

• “Silent Start”, to start up the vehicle with no need to turn on the gasoline engine, using EV mode only
• “Energy Recovery”, to recover energy that would otherwise be wasted as the car decelerates (e-Coasting) and during braking (Regenerative Braking)
• Boost & Load Point Shift, “e-Boosting” allows increased torque on the wheels thanks to the electric motor that supports the gasoline engine; moreover, by calibrating the (engine or braking) torque delivered by the electric motor, it is possible to optimize the operating point of the gasoline engine
• Electric Drive, enabling the vehicle to travel using only the electric motor with the gasoline engine turned off.

The Tonale’s various EV capabilities allow it to only use the electric motor (with the gasoline engine turned off) in various driving scenarios, including:

• e-Creeping uses the electric motor to provide the start-up normally available in vehicles with automatic transmission, at a speed that can vary from 0 km/h to the equivalent of the gasoline engine idling in first gear, or in reverse
• e-Launch, to start the vehicle using only the electric motor
• e-Queueing, for the car to keep going in a traffic jam, in a "stop & go" pattern
• e-Parking, to simplify parking maneuvers, making them practical and quiet.

EV capabilities are available depending on battery charge status and the output required.

 

EXCELLENT DYNAMICS PLACE TONALE AT THE TOP OF ITS CLASS

 

• Perfect weight distribution, for unparalleled corner handling.
• The Tonale is equipped with the most direct steering in the segment (13,6:1) and equipped with aluminum shift paddles, integral with the column, a one-off in its category.
• The only car in its class to adopt the Integrated Brake System (IBS) and offer the braking system with 4-piston fixed calipers by Brembo.
• Independent MacPherson suspension with Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology. Alternatively, there is Electronic "Alfa Active Suspension", to make it possible to adapt to the selected drive mode.
• Dynamic Torque Vectoring Alfa Romeo for the maximum traction and handling.

 

Perfect weight distribution

The Alfa Romeo Tonale offers maximum driving pleasure thanks to specific technical solutions. One element that contributed to this goal was the perfect weight distribution between the two axles – specific to the Alfa Romeo tradition of construction—which required special management of mass and materials, carried out both by working on the car’s layout and by placing all the heavier components as centrally as possible. The Tonale versions equipped with front-wheel drive use the excellent balance of masses to optimize torque delivery on the ground and handling which can’t be matched on corners.

 

A singular driving experience also thanks to the most direct steering in the segment and exclusive aluminum shift paddles.

The steering ratio (13,6) enhances the engaging and instinctive driving experience in any situation and at any speed. The adoption of the geometry in the independent front suspension reduces rebound in a natural way, accentuating the precise and intuitive steering feeling, limiting the application of software filtering, and optimizing control of front wheel steering. The sportiness is further enhanced by the aluminum shift paddles: a hallmark of the brand and a one-off in this class.

 

Integrated Brake System (IBS)

Unique in its class, the new Alfa Romeo Tonale adopts the Integrated Brake System (IBS), an innovative electromechanical system that combines stability control with conventional servo brakes. The system guarantees instantaneous brake response thanks to the integration between electronics and mechanics, together with significant weight optimization, optimal feeling and the total absence of pedal vibrations. In addition, the IBS manages the blending between regenerative braking (to maximize energy recovery) and dissipative braking (achieved through the braking system), in a manner totally undetectable to the driver. Tonale adopts standard fixed calipers by Brembo, with 4 pistons and self-ventilated discs at the front and full discs at the rear to guarantee impeccable braking performance. 

 

“Dual Stage Valve” electronic suspension 

Developed in conjunction with Marelli, a historical technology partner of Alfa Romeo, the electronic shock absorbers “Dual Stage Valve" provide a choice between performance and comfort. The electronic shock absorbers feature a special electroactuated valve within the shock absorber that provides independent damping curves. Two modes are available: Comfort and Sport. The former is the preset calibration in the D.N.A. Advanced Efficiency and Normal selections, to ensure the smoothest performance on uneven roads. Conversely, Sport mode predominates in the D.N.A. Dynamic and ESC Off selections, which reduces body movements and increases vertical rigidity, aimed at improved vehicle dynamics on corners. Finally, by pressing the dedicated button on the DNA selector, the calibration of Dynamic mode can be activated or deactivated.

 

Dynamic Torque Vectoring Alfa Romeo

The front-wheel drive versions offer electronic self-locking differential standard, which guarantee perfect traction for a smooth driving experience, emphasizing the agility and sporty character of this car, with a further positive impact in terms of safety. The system is built into the DNA selector and exploits the effect of the braking system by simulating a limited mechanical differential. When 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 improved 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.

 

Independent MacPherson suspension with Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology

Made with Alfa Romeo’s DNA in mind, the suspension scheme provides for a MacPherson-type architecture. The geometry on the front axle is optimized for rapid and precise changes of direction, emphasizing the steering feeling typical of the brand. This reduces steering distortion, limiting the application of software filtering and optimizing control of front wheel steering. In the rear, the exclusive three-arm geometry ensures rapid response when engaging and the highest level of lateral acceleration on corners. Last but not least, the Tonale’s suspension uses Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology – developed in collaboration with Koni, a historical technology partner of Alfa Romeo – to improve performance by ensuring perfect road holding and simultaneously improving comfort in all driving conditions.
