Introducing the 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale
Today, Alfa Romeo unveiled the newest model in its lineup: the Alfa Romeo Tonale.
Alfa Romeo is proud to present the all-new 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale. The Tonale (pronounced toe-nah-lay) represents a metamorphosis for the Alfa Romeo brand. The new vehicle is part of a radical evolution for the brand. This marks a new era of electrification and connectivity. As the first C-SUV from Alfa Romeo, North American consumers will experience more than 110 years of heritage with the evolution of best-in-class performance from two all-new efficient powertrain offerings.
Attention to details: Tonale’s Italian design that is perfect for any Alfisti
The Alfa Romeo Tonale stays true to Alfa Romeo heritage while also futurizing the brand. The Tonale maintains the DNA of nobile Italian sportsmanship that is essential to any Alfisti. Many Alfisti will recognize elements from the 2019 concept for the Tonale. The all-new Tonale will reinvent the meaning of sportiness and make premium-ness more inclusive. The Tonale represent a pure essential beauty with Alfa Romeo style. All Alfa Romeo designs are made with a sense of purpose. This intimate relationship between body and soul sets the foundation for any Alfa Romeo vehicle.
The Tonale features iconic Alfa Romeo symbols, such as the V-shape. When looking at the side of the vehicle, one can see the GT line. The GT line is one line that rigorously defines the attitude of the car. A GT line defines the directionality of the car as well. The GT line adds dynamic volume to the upper car body. This helps to emphasize lights and shadows on the car that adds life and sensuality.
Alfa Romeo develops its vehicles with a clear vision and nobleness. This clear vision is about a passion for driving. The wheels of the Tonale illustrates the evolution of Alfa Romeo vehicles. The “telephone-dialer” concept has been refined in every wheel iteration from the 1960’s until now. The modern circular wheels are an element of style, lightness, and extreme sportiness.
The New and Improved Interior
The Tonale’s interior has everything in the right place. Particularly, the interior setup ensures that everything is easy to reach for the ultimate driving pleasure. The interior showcases a world of exclusivity, good taste, and elegance. Alfa Romeo dedicated the Tonale’s interior completely to the driver. With the Cannocchiale (driver dashboard), the driver and the passenger experiences the best ride of their life. Undoubtedly, the driver dashboard takes the driver to the deepest nature of Alfa Romeo: its racing history.
Above all, the Tonale features the best materials and construction for an Alfa Romeo vehicle to truly encapsulate the beauty of Alfa Romeo. Alfa Romeo adopted the Uconnect 5 infotainment system which features a 10.25 inch center touchscreen and 12.3 inch driver cluster. Even more best in class offerings are available as standard on the Tonale. Available features include wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and wireless charging. Also, the car has a built-in Alexa home-to-car and car-to-home functionality thanks to a partnership between Alfa Romeo and Amazon. The functionality includes access to Alexa virtual assistance.
Technology in the Name of Safety Comes Standard
The Tonale features technological advances that haven’t been seen on any car on the current market. In a world exclusive, Alfa Romeo equipped the Tonale with a NFT digital certificate. The blockchain technology uniquely links your Tonale with a digital certificate upon purchase. The certificate evolves during the life of the car and protects the residual value. To maintain the security of your Tonale, this feature requires that you only service the car at a factory-authorized Alfa Romeo dealer service center.
A whole slew of driver assistance systems come standard on the Tonale. Alfa Romeo equipped the Tonale with adaptive cruise control and traffic sign recognition. In addition, the car comes with intelligent speed assist and blind spot detection. Most importantly, the Tonale has forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian protection. Families and Alfa Romeo understand the importance of keeping everyone safe during a drive. This is why the Tonale has driver attention assist, rear seat reminder, and lane departure warnings with lane keep assist. A level 2 autonomy option is also available for the Tonale.
Alfa Romeo Tonale Powertrains
Alfa Romeo offers two state-of-the-art powertrain options for the Tonale. The first powertrain offered is a Q4 AWD 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with nine-speed automatic transmission. This best-in-class engine produces a standard 256 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The engine is equipped with stop-start technology that meets the super-ultra-low emissions 30 standard. Secondly, the other offering is a PHEV Q4 AWD with a six-speed automatic transmission. This combines a 15.5kWh lithium ion battery with a 90kW electric motor and 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This engine delivers a best-in-class 272 horsepower with an range of over 30 miles. Fortunately, the US market will have both powertrains available for purchase.
Unquestionably, the Tonale will be available in three different trim levels: Sprint, Ti, and Veloce. Orders for the all-new 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale will open in the fourth quarter of 2022 with delivery in the first quarter of 2023. Furthermore, if you are interested in an Alfa Romeo Tonale, please reach out to your sales representative at Champion Alfa Romeo.
Metamorfosi of Alfa Romeo
The Tonale represents a turning point for three reasons. Firstly, the vehicle helps to bring Alfa Romeo into the digital era. Secondly, it marks the beginning of the transition of the Alfa Romeo group to become a high-tech company. Lastly, there is a turning point in Alfa Romeo’s customer relationship. Advanced software allows you to decide whether you want to reach unbelievable efficiency levels or boost performance beyond expectations. It’s the driver’s choice, it is your choice. Alfa Romeo wants to be the first to start the revolution. Stellantis is evolving into a sustainable mobility tech company with Alfa Romeo driving this change. Alfa Romeo is transforming its vehicles into customized living spaces, valuable even when not driving. Alfa Romeo is reinventing the relationship between the customer, the car, and the brand. We hope you join us on this journey of electrification and modernization.

Throughout its many years in the industry, Alfa Romeo has consistently stayed ahead of the innovation game that is especially impressive when you consider that this brand has been making heads turn since 1910.
This reputation has grown into the modern era, particularly when they released their new SUV offering the Alfa Romeo Stelvio four years ago. This model has undergone a transformation that fans of this brand are going to love. Here are three things that you need to know about the Stelvio SUV.
Stelvio SUV Style and Design
Sticking to the distinct look of the Alfa Romeo Giulia, you get the iconic and sleek exterior that fans have grown to love from this brand. The exterior only recently received some minor, but very welcomed changes that help refresh this 2020 model. One of the updates customers can choose from includes a body-color appearance kit. With this kit, you can select side sills and fender flares. You can also have the rear fascia finished in whatever color matches the rest of your exterior. There are also Dark Miron and carbon fiber appearance kits for those who want a nice contrast. For color options, Alfa Romeo added Lunare White Metallic and Anodized Blue Metallic exterior color options.
Stelvio SUV Safety and Entertainment Technology
People love their technology, which is very true for their cars as well. There’s no shortage of the latest technology with the Stelvio SUV. Known for their ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), you get plenty of driver convenience and safety technology with this 2020 model. Some of these essential functions include lane keep assist, highway/traffic jam assists for those with longer commutes, driver attention alerts, traffic sign recognition, and active blind-spot monitoring. There’s also the new 8.8-inch touchscreen dashboard display. This screen is a massive improvement over its predecessor, boasting a faster processor and a much-improved interface.
Stelvio SUV Driving and Comfort
Most of the improvements that people will notice in this new model can be found in the interior. In addition to the tech upgrades that have already been mentioned, they added new features to the interior that transform an already refined interior into something more incredible. There is a softer leather on the SUV’s center console, a thicker steering wheel, and storage for your phone that offers wireless charging.
While people have their ideas of what an SUV is, this SUV doesn’t like to follow the rules. The SUV is dripping with sportiness, offering the power of a sportier car while still offering the benefits of the SUV. In addition to the power of its engine, you also get a smooth driving experience.
While some may view these changes as minor, they are still enough of an improvement to refine this already stellar brand further. With the Alfa Romeo Stelvio SUV, you don’t have to sacrifice performance for function. Instead, you will enjoy the best of both worlds so that you can drive in style.
What to Expect During an Alfa Romeo Lease Return
As you near the end of your Alfa Romeo lease, there are some simple steps you can take to make your lease return as quick and easy as possible.
In addition, the manufacturer often has programs available to its loyal customers to return your car earlier and enjoy a new Alfa Romeo. Whether or not you purchased your car from Champion Alfa Romeo, you can always return your lease to us. We would be glad to assist you in the process of the lease return!
What to Do Prior to Returning Your Lease
Before returning your leased vehicle, it is best to schedule a lease inspection. Our team at Champion Alfa Romeo will facilitate a date and time that is most convenient for you, and quickly go over your vehicle. Before this inspection, it is best to collect any books, keys, manuals, literature, and window sticker that came with the car. Of course, removing personal items, access cards, and any toll devices is advised.
Alfa Romeo Lease Pull Ahead Program
If you still have up to 6 months remaining on your lease, please inquire about the Alfa Romeo Lease Pull Ahead Program. This program is designed by the manufacturer to waive the remaining portion of your lease if you lease a new car. And remember, this applies even if you leased your current vehicle at another dealership.
What to Expect From Us
At Champion Alfa Romeo, we want to ensure that the process of switching leases is convenient. We also work to ensure that our customers’ expectations are exceeded in every way. For more information or to schedule your lease inspection and return, call us at 516-240-9756 or use the form below.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Infotainment system is an incredible modern upgrade compared to the previous system.
The changes Alfa Romeo has put out in a year is incredible. This is truly one of the best Alfa Romeo Giulia infotainment systems yet.
Upgraded Display
Before even taking a look at the new features of the infotainment system, it is essential to note its upgraded design. In one update, Alfa Romeo went from a list view infotainment system with just a knob to navigate to a fully 8.8-inch touchscreen system with graphics and widgets. The new infotainment system essentially allows the owner to create a home page where each function becomes an app. They can scroll through the apps and drag-and-drop them as they wish. They can also switch the display between a 3- or 5-widget view. As we are all familiar with touchscreens and apps nowadays, the new infotainment navigation system is much more user friendly.
The “Apps” 1 by 1
- You can scroll between radio (FM/AM) and media (Bluetooth connectivity)
- From the home screen, you can view the navigation widget and make it bigger, so it takes up the space of two apps or even makes it full screen. There is also a compass feature.
- Scroll up through the driver assistance widget for more settings. From here, you can adjust the safety settings for the Giulia, such as blind-spot assist, lane-keeping assist, driver attention assist, and many more.
- There is also a climate control app, which can be accessed from the lower left- and right-hand corners of the touchscreen through the “Lo” button. Of course, this on-screen feature is added to the knobs that come standard with all cars. Whether from the screen or with the knobs, the Giulia offers individual climate control (per seat). There is also the option of added heated seats, though Alfa Romeo has not introduced ventilated seats yet.
- The performance app features four main categories to check in on the Giulia: performance content, technical gauges, consumption history, and efficient drive. This app assists you with your driving history to keep an eye on your oil, boost, and torque displays as you drive.
- The vehicle information app informs about any scheduled maintenance based on the information of the Giulia’s oil and tires. There is also a check oil feature, where you will find the DNA system (dynamic, natural, and advanced driving modes).
- The settings app is pretty standard but worth a flip through the options to be familiar with when they are necessary.
- The connected service’s app has three options: Assist call, SOS call, and Wi-Fi Hotspot. This app is for advanced onboard connectivity and to boost safety. The Assist call and SOS call services call the assist call center and emergency services in case of an emergency. The SOS call service will even send your location. The Wi-Fi Hotspot service is a paid service that allows Wi-Fi to be shared on up to 8 onboard devices.
The Alfa Romeo Giulia has set the tone for all future models from the Italian company, and it has shown us that it has set its sights North towards Munich and Stuttgart.
The Giulia is Alfa Romeo going straight after BMW’s M3, Audi A4, and Mercedes-AMG C63, with a clear intent of dethroning M3’s long reign as the superior model in this category, and it not only goes for the hot Giulia Quadrifoglio but all Giulia models.
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Engine
The Giulia’s engine, a 2.9L Twin-turbo V6 is “inspired by Ferrari expertise and technologies,” and comes from the engine family of the F154. BMW’s 493bhp twin-turbo 3.0, which is not on par with the 503bhp output by this direct-injection engine. It is everything one could hope from Ferrari-inspired machinery, potent, responsive, noisy, and sharp. When it comes to power, the Giulia manages to go toe to toe with the C63’s 4-litre twin-turbo hot-V V8.
While the M3 would probably outperform the Giulia in terms of agility, response, and grip, the Alfa has a fantastic flow going for it. It has a natural balance given by weight distribution that is less aggressive, not as tightly controlled as its German counterpart. When it comes to steering, the sharp steering and supple suspension combine positively together when you turn the wheel. The Giulia is less intimidating than the BMW M3; it moves much more gracefully. Traction is also reliable and, even better, predictable.
Alfa Romeo Giulia Engine (Atlas News)
The Interior
All Giulia models come with a selector for the drive mode that has three settings: Dynamic, Natural, and Advanced Efficiency (which forms the clever acronym DNA). Each of these settings alters the car’s steering feel, engine management, and transmission. The new Pirelli P Zeros tires are very responsive and have an excellent grip.
The M3 and the Audi A4 indeed have better-quality materials in their cabins, while the Giulia has a not as well built interior if you make a direct comparison. The Mercedes-AMG C63 S also does feel more high-end than the Giulia. The pieces and plastics don’t fit against each other as seamlessly as they do in its competitors. Still, this was a predictable problem area.
All in all, the design work on the inside is marvelous. It is simple, clean, and uncomplicated. The interior also has a more than comfortable rear space and boot size. It carries more of a sporting atmosphere than any of its German counterparts, and it does not let you down. You will want to take advantage of the option of having the Sparco bucket seats, which are carbon fiber-backed. They look excellent, and they are also one of the most supportive and comfortable seats in the market today.
