All-New Alfa Romeo Tonale to Start Under $45,000 in Canada
Alfa Romeo has announced pricing for the all-new Tonale, which slots right below the Stelvio in the Italian brand’s lineup and happens to share many components—including powertrains—with the equally new Dodge Hornet.
The Tonale has a starting Canadian manufacturer's suggested retail price of $44,995 plus $2,095 destination charge in base Sprint trim. Meanwhile, the Tonale PHEV starts at $54,995.

More upscale Veloce models require an extra of $1,500 with the standard Tonale and $2,500 with the Tonale PHEV.
Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder engine rated at 256 hp and 295 lb-ft. of torque. The PHEV variant is the real star with a turbocharged 1.3-litre engine paired with a 90kW electric motor and 15.5-kWh lithium-ion for a total of 285 hp and an estimated zero-emission range of more than 48 km. The exact range has yet to be announced by Natural Resources Canada. In order for customers to qualify for the $5,000 federal EV rebate, it has to be at least 50 km.
“We look forward to launching the all-new Alfa Romeo Tonale and competing in the premium compact sport-utility vehicle segment with the brand’s first plug-in hybrid offering,” said Larry Dominique, Senior Vice President and Head of Alfa Romeo North America. “The Tonale drops right into one of the largest volume segments with best-in-class 285 horsepower and more than 48 kilometres of electric range as the next generation of electrified Alfa Romeo vehicles make their way into the market.”
