Alfa Romeo has unveiled clearer images of the 2027 Tonale, showing off the SUV’s updated front design and confirming a choice of diesel, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid engines. The latest photos, taken by Walter Vayr from Gabetz Spy Unit, reveal a dark gray Tonale without any camouflage, giving a detailed look at its exterior changes and trim options.
New Front Styling and Visible Exterior Features
The refreshed Tonale displays a revised front grille marked by horizontal elements crossing the Alfa Romeo shield. Flanking the grille, small angled air openings sit above a large lower intake, while the familiar triple-element headlights remain unchanged. The license plate is positioned centrally and low on the bumper. Along the side profile, five-hole wheels, black cladding around the wheel arches, dark tinted rear windows, black mirror caps, and a roof spoiler are visible, indicating a sporty yet refined appearance.
Powertrain Options Cover Diesel to Plug-In Hybrid
The 2027 Tonale offers a variety of engines. The base hybrid features a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 175 hp, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Diesel buyers can choose a 1.6-liter unit with 130 hp, employing a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox. On the high-performance side, the plug-in hybrid Q4 model delivers 270 hp and adds all-wheel drive. It remains unclear which powertrain the photographed prototype uses, as some exterior details are common across versions.
Five Trims Highlight Comfort, Sportiness, and Customization
The Tonale range includes five trim levels, each catering to different preferences:
- Base: Comes with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch Alfa Connect infotainment screen.
- Sprint: Adds 18-inch wheels, gloss black body kit styling, aluminum accents, and multicolor ambient lighting.
- Ti: Focuses on comfort with options like black or red leather seats that are heated, ventilated, and electrically adjustable, plus a heated steering wheel.
- Veloce: Emphasizes sportiness with 19-inch wheels, Full LED Matrix headlights, Dual Stage Valve electronic suspension, red Brembo brakes, and black Alcantara seats featuring red accents.
- Luna Rossa: Inspired by Alfa Romeo’s sailing team partnership, this top trim offers special 20-inch wheels, unique 3D Knit fabric seats, and red-logo detailing for a distinctive look.
Buyers can choose from ten exterior colors, including some with two-tone finishes, and seven wheel designs ranging from 17 to 20 inches. The cabin also offers five distinct interior themes.
Overall, the 2027 Alfa Romeo Tonale updates add subtle but clear changes to its styling and expand powertrain and trim flexibility, supporting Alfa Romeo’s plan to keep this compact SUV fresh in a competitive segment.
