Tonale

Compact Size, Full Alfa Romeo Character: The Tonale

Say hello to the Alfa Romeo Tonale at Alfa Romeo of Oakville — a premium compact SUV that proves a smaller footprint doesn't mean a smaller personality. Named after the Tonale Pass in the Italian Alps, it's sized for city parking and busy daily routines, yet it carries the same driver-focused spirit and emotional design found across the Alfa Romeo lineup. For many drivers, it's the first model going up the Alfa Romeo models, and no shortcuts taken on the experience behind the wheel.

Distinctive From Every Angle

Design Details

The Tonale's face is defined by a concave scudetto grille inspired by the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale supercar, framed by pronounced trilobe lower intakes. A short front overhang and wide front and rear tracks give it a lower, more planted stance, while the signature 3+3 LED headlamps nod to the classic SZ Zagato. Around back, 3+3 LED taillamps repeat the theme for a signature that's easy to spot at night. Choose from a range of bold Italian colours, and add an optional black roof for open air enjoyment in accent black trim.

Inside the Tonale

The Tonale's cabin is built around the driver, with contrast stitching across the dashboard, doors, and armrests. Front seats offer eight-way power adjustment with four-way power lumbar, and available leather or Alcantara seating adds both heating and ventilation for year-round comfort, with leather offered in black or red. Available ambient lighting sets a warm mood after dark. When it's time to haul gear, the 60/40 split-folding rear seats and ski pass-through turn the cargo area into space for luggage, sports equipment, or a big grocery run.

Quick Steering, Turbocharged Response

Every Tonale is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder making 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and standard Q4 all-wheel drive. It reaches 96 km/h in about 6.5 seconds, and its 13.6:1 steering ratio is one of the quickest in the compact SUV segment, so the Tonale darts through traffic and parking lots with the agility of a much smaller car. The Alfa DNA selector adjusts throttle, steering, and transmission behaviour to suit your mood. Veloce models add Dual Mode Suspension, red Brembo brake calipers, and aluminum shift paddles, while the Sport Speciale wears gloss-black Brembo calipers with Dual Mode Suspension available.

Smart Safety for Everyday Driving

The Tonale is designed to make daily driving easier and safer. Standard features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning with automatic emergency braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Path detection, Lane Keep Assist, Driver Attention Alert, and front and rear park assist. Available Active Driving Assist builds on that with lane centring to reduce fatigue on long highway drives, and an available surround-view camera makes it easy to slip into tight downtown parking spots with confidence.

Tonale FAQs

What trims are available for the Alfa Romeo Tonale? The Tonale comes in three trims. Sprint offers 18-inch wheels, LED lighting, and aluminum pedals. Sprint buyers can add the Premium Package for leather, ambient lighting, ventilated seats, and a power liftgate. Veloce adds 19-inch wheels, perforated leather, ventilated seats, and a hands-free power liftgate. The Sport Speciale tops the lineup with 20-inch three-hole wheels inspired by the dial of a vintage rotary telephone, silver exterior accents, and a two-tone black-and-pearl Alcantara interior with white contrast stitching.

Is the Tonale a plug-in hybrid? No. The Tonale sold in Canada uses a turbocharged gasoline engine, so there's no charging to plan around. You get consistent performance on every drive and can refuel anywhere in minutes.

What technology does the Tonale include? The Tonale runs the Uconnect 5 system on a 10.25-inch touchscreen, paired with a 12.3-inch configurable digital instrument cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in navigation, and voice control come standard, so your music, maps, and messages are always within easy reach.
