New 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale BASE Sprint

Blue Metallic 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale AWD 6-Speed Automatic 1.3L I4. KBB.com Consumer Reviews. Have had for about 10 months and we love this car even more than when we picked it up. Have a Subaru Outback and have driven them since 2006. The Alfa quality is amazing and no issues at all. Just a joy to drive and outstanding performance. Will buy another Alfa! Just a beautiful piece of work! This suv is made like a fine watch. Everything works like its supposed to. Great power, comfortable, and it uses regular gas, not premium. Great power together with economy of operation equals one fine ride. Very reliable as well. I haven't had a single problem with this Alfa! All around solid car. Nimble yet comfortable fun. Bought for my wife, but I usually drive it whenever we're in the car together. Around town the Tonale is comfortable and quiet, with a surprisingly large amount of interior space compared to the compact exterior size. We'll soon see how it fits a car seat. It soaks up less than perfect city roads comfortably without leaving the driver feeling numb to what's happening outside, and electric torque to the rear wheels means it feels nice accelerating around a corner, occasionally stepping the rear out a tiny bit, and the near perfect weight distribution really helps keep it feeling far more nimble than the weight would make you expect. The back roads/ country roads were the most fun, and the powertrain & chassis definitely punches above it's class here, handling more like a well balanced sedan than a SUV. Highway driving with traffic or hilly roads we found the best use of the hybrid system was to start the drive in N and use up most of the battery, once down to <10% charge switch to D and let the high regen handle most of the braking & hill descent speed control and recapture that energy until the battery is over 80%, then switch back to N, and repeat until you arrive. Over the course of 500miles in a single day of driving we logged about 60 kWh (almost 4x the battery total capacity) of charge captured from regen, and traveled over 60 miles on the highway in pure electric, finishing the day with almost 80% charge. However if you are doing long steady speed highway driving with no traffic or hills, turning on E-Save once you get to about 40% battery is the better long distance drive mode. Our largest fill-up at any gas station was 9.3 gallons. Overall we're very happy with the vehicle so far, materials and comfort are equal or better than anything else we looked at in the segment, and the power & handling were significantly better than anything else in its category we found. I initially had low expectations from the hybrid system, but it's growing on me. It is a jack of all trades master of none situation where it overall does very well in all conditions and use cases, though it's not the best powertrain for any specific case. For a vehicle that needs to be luxury, sporty, eco, quiet, compact, spacious, powerful, electric, gas, and inclement weather capable, it seems to do everything to about 90-95% of what you might hope for.
