2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale vs 2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia Comparison
32023 Alfa Romeo Tonale vs 2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia Comparison.
The 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale will inject some Italian blood into the fray of subcompact luxury crossovers. With sexy bodywork that's accentuated by Alfa Romeo's signature sharp-nosed face, the Tonale is sure to garner admiring looks. The company also promises that it'll be satisfying to drive, with a fully independent suspension and available adaptive dampers. Power comes from either a standard 256-hp turbo-four or a more powerful plug-in-hybrid powertrain with more than 30 miles of estimated all-electric range. Throw in the elevated driving position and standard all-wheel drive that SUV shoppers crave—as well as the potential for a high-powered Quadrifoglio model—and the 2023 Tonale is set to be a compelling new entry in a class that includes the BMW X1, the Mercedes-Benz GLA250, and the Volvo XC40.
What's New for 2023?
The Tonale debuted in concept form at the 2019 Geneva auto show. Now, Alfa has released official photos and information that give us a much better idea about what the new little Italian ute has to offer. The company says the Tonale will hit U.S. showrooms starting in the first quarter of 2023.
Not only does the 2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia look fantastic, it also offers one of the most satisfying driving experiences in its segment. Its sharp handling and gutsy turbocharged four-cylinder are a perfect pair for enthusiast drivers, and it means the Giulia is equipped to take on rival sports sedans such as the BMW 3-series, the Genesis G70, and the Mercedes-Benz C-class. While perhaps not as luxurious as those sedans, the Alfa's interior is generously equipped and boasts a driver-focused design. Passengers will find the front seats spacious and comfortable, but most adults will feel the pinch in the rear—something most cars in this class have in common. For drivers seeking the ultimate in performance, we'd suggest taking at a look at the Giulia Quadrifoglio model (reviewed separately), which offers a hot-blooded 505-hp twin-turbo V-6.
What's New for 2022?
Last year's Ti Sport trim has been renamed Veloce for 2022, and a host of new standard features can be found throughout the Giulia lineup. Its infotainment system now benefits from standard navigation and a wireless phone charger, while an auto-dimming rearview mirror, front and rear heated seats, and an air-quality system round out the changes to the convenience features. Newly standard driver-assistance tech includes blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, automatic high-beam headlamps, and front and rear parking sensors.
