Starting next weekend, the new Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV will be available at dealerships to get to know and test drive. The first electrified SUV from Alfa Romeo offers dynamic handling, sportiness typical of the brand, and an efficient hybrid drive for the first time. In addition, modern technology makes the compact SUV the most connected Alfa Romeo ever. Its newly developed infotainment system enables online software updates ("Over The Air") and has integrated the Amazon Alexa language assistant.
The new Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV is available in the standard equipment versions SUPER and SPRINT. Their hybrid drive combines a four-cylinder turbo petrol engine, which generates 96 kW (130 hp) from a displacement of 1.5 liters, with an electric motor. The 48-volt unit is positioned in what is known as the P2 configuration between the combustion engine and the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The electric motor has an output of 15 kW (corresponding to 20 kW). Its nominal torque of 55 Newton meters increases to 135 Nm due to the transmission ratio (2.5:1).
In addition, the variants Alfa Romeo Tonale Ti and Alfa Romeo Tonale VELOCE are offered. They offer 118 kW (160 hp), a turbocharger with variable geometry, and similar electric motor technology and transmission as the SUPER and SPRINT model versions.
The particularly well-equipped introductory edition Alfa Romeo Tonale SPECIALE, which can be configured with both drive variants, will also be available at the market launch. The Alfa Romeo Tonale SPECIALE is extremely rich in technological content; thanks to modern connectivity, modern online services can be used anytime.
As part of the introduction, there are also numerous events and special promotions at the Alfa Romeo dealers.
Alfa Romeo's purpose has always been centered on stirring people's emotions. The Havas advertising agency used this method to create a global ad campaign for the new Alfa Romeo Tonale. Personal judgments are becoming more and more prescriptive thanks to algorithmic guidance from the Internet. The new Alfa Romeo Tonale proves that even in today's technologically advanced world, people can still be guided by their emotions.
According to the ad, the algorithm governs daily life, claiming to be able to anticipate and manage every decision. The Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV, on the other hand, does something unexpected. The algorithm can't accurately interpret emotions because it doesn't know enough about individuals. In this way, technology becomes a passion, and human choices continue to make life unpredictable. "Live Unpredictable" is the campaign's tagline.
The Alfa Romeo Tonale launch ad continues the brand's new strategy, which is defined by a new communication style. As a result, her narration, visual editing, and voice all have unique qualities.
It's a salute to Italian culture, a fundamental value of the Alfa Romeo brand, through the commercial's soundtrack. Composed explicitly for the new Alfa Romeo Tonale, the soundtrack reimagines the Italian classic "Amandoti" in a fascinating new arrangement. Television, print, billboards, and the Internet are all part of the campaign, which runs in over 100 countries worldwide.
