The Alfa Romeo Tonale Plug-in Hybrid Q4 is now available to order in Australia, priced from $77,500 before on-road costs ahead of deliveries commencing in October.
Based on the high-spec Veloce trim level, the Tonale Plug-in Hybrid carries a $21,100 premium over the recently-launched Tonale Hybrid Veloce, though brings substantially more performance as well as improved efficiency.
Power in the Tonale Plug-in Hybrid Q4 comes from a 132kW 1.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine on the front axle, teamed with a 90kW/250Nm electric motor on the rear axle.
There’s a six-speed automatic paired to the combustion engine up front, while a 15.5kW lithium-ion battery feeds the e-motor at the rear.
Together, the system has a total power output of 208kW and the dual power sources facilitate electrified all-wheel drive. Note the Tonale Hybrid is FWD only.
Alfa Romeo claims a 0-100 time of a hot hatch-like 6.2 seconds, while the brand quotes an all-electric driving range of 60 kilometres. The brand claims the Tonale’s high-voltage battery can be charged in 2.5 hours using a 7.4kW AC charger.
In terms of specification, the Tonale Plug-in Hybrid effectively takes on the Veloce trim level with the optional Lusso Package – usually a $4500 option on the Tonale Hybrid.
While the Tonale Plug-in Hybrid looks virtually identical to the standard Tonale Hybrid, Alfa Romeo says it has reinterpreted the historic serpent logo to “highlight the brand’s electrification process”, displayed on the left rear window.
