The updated Alfa Romeo Tonale crossover received a fresh design and a new Sport Special version

The crossover has been slightly redesigned on the outside and the equipment lineup has been expanded

Stellantis has unveiled an updated version of the compact crossover Alfa Romeo Tonale. While the model remains relatively young – it’s been in production for three years – the slight restyling is designed to keep the car interesting in key markets.

Exterior changes and new equipment

The Tonale’s design has been freshened in spots: the front bumper and the lower part of the rear bumper have been changed, and the signature heart-shaped grille has received horizontal ribs instead of cells. Four air vents have been added on the sides, and the air intakes have become more expressive. The wheel track has been widened.

The interior retains the same architecture but is now available in a range of new trim options, including red leather.

A new version of the Sport Special has been added to the lineup. It includes aerodynamic sill plates, gloss black Brembo brake calipers, 20-inch wheels of a new design and Alcantara seat upholstery.

• 1.5-liter turbo gasoline engine (175 hp) and a 7-speed dual-clutch robotized transmission with front-wheel drive;
