the alfa romeo tonale concept has been designed through the care of human touch whilst being inspired by the beauty and nuances of the human form itself. bold and elegant exterior volumes are paired with pure lines. at the front, ‘3 plus 3’ forward lights flank the signature grille, which is the focal point for the car’s fluidity and pouncing stance silhouette. the rear is defined by an enveloping window that is complemented by the suspended wing. here, the rear lighting creates the impression of an artistic signature. to complete the design, the 21-inch wheels feature a ‘phone dial’ aesthetic reminiscent of the 1960s.

the dynamism of the exterior continues inside the car as well. pure, sculpted forms create a driver oriented cabin that evokes emotions from alfa romeo’s history of racing. these feelings continue with the contrasts of rich materials, such as cold aluminum combined with soft, welcoming warmth of leather and alcantara. their latest technology ensures the driver and passengers have a connected, comfortable and dynamic user experience. a 12.3-inch full digital cluster and 10.25-inch touchscreen central head unit are integrated to alfa’s new lifestyle and social communities, which offer latest gathering and performance upgrade news.

as a new step for the brand, the concept car aims to still provide the best driving experience with electrification. alfa romeo has reinterpreted its DNA to ensure this harmony between beauty, energy, efficiency and driving user-friendliness. their ‘advance E’ mode delivers full electric performance; ‘dual power’ uses the maximum output from the two engines; and ‘natural’ mode optimizes performance between the electric and combustion motors.
