2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale is the arrival of a gas-only model with a 2.0-liter turbo engine. It is not a redesign; Alfa Romeo also simplifies the plug-in-hybrid lineup and adds two special-series versions.
About the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale
1st generation (2024-present), second U.S. model year; lineup reshuffle and special-series year, not a redesign.
Alfa Romeo positions the Tonale as its entry luxury SUV and its gateway to electrification: a compact crossover that blends Italian styling, a driver-focused cabin, and sharper road manners than most small luxury SUVs. In plug-in-hybrid form, its core draw is strong power plus short-distance electric driving, rather than maximum cargo room or outright practicality. The Tonale’s main differentiators are its distinctive design, sporty feel, and upscale tech-heavy cockpit.
The Tonale lineup now spans a gas-powered model and a core plug-in hybrid, while Tributo Italiano and Intensa give the electrified version a more distinctive look and richer equipment. The plug-in hybrid retains its 285-hp system and standard electric all-wheel drive, along with a 10.25-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital gauge display. Intensa stands out with suede-like Alcantara seats, a 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, and an adjustable suspension designed to sharpen the way it drives.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale a redesign?
No. The 2025 Tonale remains part of the first generation introduced for the U.S. for 2024. Its main updates are a new gas-only model, a reorganized plug-in-hybrid range, and new special-series versions.
Does the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale still come as a plug-in hybrid?
Yes. The 2025 Tonale retains a 285-hp plug-in-hybrid system with standard electric all-wheel drive. Alfa Romeo simplifies that side of the lineup to one core PHEV plus Tributo Italiano and Intensa special-series models.
What happened to the Tonale Sprint, Ti, and Veloce trims for 2025?
Sprint, Ti, and Veloce are dropped for 2025, along with Speciale. They are replaced by a simpler lineup made up of Base, Tributo Italiano, and Intensa versions.
What is special about the 2025 Tonale Intensa?
The 2025 Tonale Intensa is a new design-focused plug-in-hybrid special series. It combines gold exterior accents with Alcantara upholstery, tan stitching, a 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, a hands-free liftgate, and an adjustable dual-stage suspension.
Is the 2025 Tonale much different from the 2024 model?
The 2025 Tonale is meaningfully different in lineup structure, but not in its underlying design. It adds a gas-only turbo model and replaces the earlier plug-in-hybrid trim ladder with Base, Tributo Italiano, and Intensa versions, while the main PHEV hardware, screens, and safety equipment largely carry over.
