The Alfa Romeo Tonale makes its debut at the Geneva Motor Show as a new compact SUV from the Casa di Arese.

E-Motion that makes the steering wheel, throttle and braking response even more direct. In Natural, performance is optimized automatically, balancing consumption and performance. With the Advance E function, derived from the previous Advanced Efficiency, the Tonale instead travels in purely electric mode.
