Overview
The Alfa Romeo Tonale is a compact luxury crossover produced by the Italian company Alfa Romeo since February 2022. Being a five-seater compact luxury crossover SUV, it slots above the Alfa Romeo Junior and below the Alfa Romeo Stelvio in the marque's crossover SUV range. Known internally as the 965, the Tonale is the first hybrid-powered Alfa Romeo and became the first new model introduced by the brand in six years. It is named after the Tonale mountain pass in Northern Italy. In August 2022, a rebadged and restyled version was unveiled as the Dodge Hornet, exclusive to the North American market as the smallest, entry-level SUV offering from Dodge.
Powertrain
One of the powertrain options is a newly developed Alfa Romeo-exclusive 160 hp 1.5-litre petrol engine with a variable-geometry turbocharger (VGT) and 48 V hybrid system, paired with a 7-speed DCT dual-clutch transmission and a 48 V 15 kW and 55 Nm P2 electric motor (135 Nm with a 2.5:1 transmission ratio). It can propel the wheels even when the internal combustion engine is turned off. The hybrid Tonale is claimed to be capable of 0–100 km/h in 8.8 seconds and a maximum speed of over 130 mph. The engine comes with a compression ratio of 12.

Check before you buy

- Confirm the charging inlet and the speeds your market supports; plug types differ between regions.
- Check the emissions equipment (particulate filter, NOx treatment) and the destination country's emissions rules; some markets restrict used diesels.
- Ask for service records: turbocharged engines are sensitive to oil changes and cool-down habits.
- Test the four-wheel-drive system (transfer case, differentials) and look for uneven tyre wear.
- Read the auction sheet grade and notes, and verify the odometer against service and inspection records. How to read an auction sheet
