Alfa's littlest crossover becomes a plug-in hybrid with almost 300hp. But is it fun?
There won’t be an Alfa Romeo Tonale Quadrifoglio. It feels important to get that minor bombshell out the way, because it contextualises the car you’re about to read about. Alfa didn’t make the decision blithely, rather it’s done the sums and realised the badge is better kept for more enticing products further along its increasingly packed timeline.
With over three-quarters of Tonale buyers already going for top specs, it’d make perfect sense if the majority also go for the more expensive Plug-In Hybrid Q4. Especially given the business benefits of its piddly 26g/km of CO2 and some likely favourable monthly rates. Nor would you want to; much like in a Ferrari, you’ll be pressing that button every time you remember it’s there. Alfa says this is one of the comfiest cars in its corner of the market – and that presentation even contains a slightly dizzying graph showing vertical acceleration of passengers from their seats to try and prove it – but its ride is as firm-edged as any rival I recall driving. Blame trying to keep this much mass in check while adorning your latest model with glitzy 20in alloys .
Those long, sculptured paddles are a good metaphor for the keenness that lies beneath, in fact, and a daily reminder that you’ve ignored the seemingly infinite German or Korean options in this class. Somewhat improbably, Alfa laid on its Balocco test track for some quick laps to prove the Tonale’s mettle, with a keenly driven Giulia as our pace car with nothing as much as a light briefing beforehand. Never change, Italy.
