- Alfa Romeo are betting that they can win your money with their new compact sized SUV, the Tonale... But will it work?!
Welcome to the 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale! A luxury SUV looking to bring the battle directly to the king of the luxury small SUV's, the BMW X1. We reviewed that, and frankly, really loved it. So does Alfa have a winning formula on their hand with their much cheaper, hybrid Tonale SUV? Let's talk about that!

Here at CarSauce, we review every new car on the market. We are a community of sauce givers and we'd love for you to subscribe and join our community!
We give every car "the sauce", test their 0-100km/h, and see whether or not they are worth purchasing and spending your hard-earned cash on.
From time to time, we'll also buy a weird and wacky car and take you on the journey with me!
We release videos every Sunday 5pm AEST / AEDT with the latest new car reviews! Your feedback is important, so if you want to see us do something new or something you would like me to change let me know!
Got a question for me? Leave it in the comments! I try and respond to them all!

Would you buy this or a BMW X1? 🤔
Neither.
I am not going to buy a gutless near 10 second FWD car for 60K+ (on the road). Will never happen.
If I was going to spend substantial money on a Bimmer, it would have to be a performance model.
I also am not convinced on the looks of this one, sorry but no, unlike the Stelvio which IS DDG.
My 2c.
Alfa all the way.
Got my Tonale Veloce 160hp last week. In Alfa Rosso of course. I decided to skip the leather seats because the alcantara ones look way better (and there’s alcantara on the dashboard as well, with red stitching). I love this car!
@@bronco_fv congratulations, I hope it will serve you well, and that you'll be %200 happy with it. Can you Take good care of her.
No thanks. No BMW for me. I'm an Alfaholic.
Have the Tonale Ti MHEV 10 weeks now. Love it. Beautiful car inside and out and drives very well. Early days but averaging just over 46mpg which for this class of car is pretty good.Have the base 18 inch wheel option which keeps the ride comfortable. The steering on the higher trims is very light but thankfully the Ti spec is nowhere near as light steering which in my book is a big plus.
I could've gotten it through a company lease because of the cheaper "launch" Speciale edition. (If i didn't go for another car a year earlier before promotion). I still feel gutted that i didn't wait, because i've driven one out of curiosity (PHEV) and really loved the car, let alone the looks of it. It will be on my list for 2026 tho!
I'm not an SUV person at all. However, this is bloody gorgeous!
Good looking car, gorgeous colour 😊
I love the way it looks but I also like the Dodge Hornet as well. Are there any specific advantages of the Tonale over the Hornet R/T ?

That shape though ... its a sexy looking car.
Got to say this looks way sexier than the Beamer, that grill is so ugly on BMW’s. Had my eye on this model, cos that Montreal green colour is THE coolest 😍 Thanks for review 🔥
Great looking SUV. Alfa just get styling right. Was this filmed in the Adelaide hills?
have a 218i GranCoupe, looking at X1 or this.. really think no HUD is a big minus .. hopefully they bring it in
Alpha has my favourite badge. My best friend(a Civil Engineer)always had Alpha Romeo Guilietas and replaced them every two years. The Alpha Tonale is a very good car at an affordable price.
"Alpha" UGH.....
@user-ec2sl6kq4t Sorry. It's a Hotel I stay at when in Canberra. Can't get the name out of my head. SO. Alfa it is. (I flew ITALIAN P166 pusher twins and should know better.)
Still holding off on full EVs just because so many chargers here in the US are broken, except for Teslas, but not interested in Tesla. So my choice is very limited, but the PHEV version of this SUV looks super promising!
I have the Speciale version with 20inch alloys plus all of the optional extras including leather seats with cool air vents that supplement the air conditioning perfectly. My fifth Alfa and why would anybody buy any of the overpriced German options? Only Alfa Romeo has the X factor
I have a brand new X1 M Sport and absolutely love it!
Great car too!!!
Your X1 shits all over this Alpha [😊]
mate 5ft 11in isn't short, it's taller than the average
Depends on where you live. In the Netherlands
@@bronco_fv taller than average in most countries, except the Netherlands who are a land of giants.
There you go tidied it up for you😁
it looks mean😂❤
How good does it look 🥵
@@CarSauce its pretty
Grrr. The Tonale was developed by Alfa and then Stellantis allowed Jeep to use it for the Compass and undercut it price-wise. So the Jeep is an Alfa, not the reverse. Get your facts right!
0-60 in 5.7 sec
The Alfa is cheaper than a near top model Nissan Qashqai. Nice car if it wasn’t for Stellantis.
You’re right, it is cheaper! Cool fact haha!
@@CarSauce yeah but add the extras packs to get it closer in comparable spec to the Nissan and you're looking at an additional $11k comparing base models to other cars is what car companies want you to do so you're seduced into paying for the additional specs.
Having driven both the Ti, Veloce and Veloce with Lusso pack - the difference is not 11k noticeable… would highly recommend going Ti!
@@CarSauce yeah I was looking at the Ti with Lusso + tech + paint + Pano roof ... came to $65k. I've opted for the new Honda ZR-V instead even though Honda didn't put any panoramic sunroof option in which is a big disappointment but the car drives really nice. And the Honda E:Hev is a true hybrid plus the quality and low service cost convinced me it was the better option.
@@CarSauce Ti is a wise choice, have the Ti spec 10 weeks now. More comfortable ride (18" wheels) and the steering is much better IMO (super light steering on the Veloce when i test drove it).Was concerned that on Ti no adaptive suspension but suspension is just fine thankfully..no issues at all.The Matrix headlights are a real game changer for me ...gives you so much confidence at night especially on country roads. The difference in my previous cars is unreal..i tend to keep the selector in N as happy with performance and ride quality so no need to change for me.
BMW WHO ?
No.
i get why alpha is being watered down, i just think its disappointing that their cars are becoming mainstream and boring.
Alfa, Alfa, Alfa! At least get the name right…
@@bronco_fv auto correct, who cares
I didn't have to watch half the video to decide that i am going for BMW X1 instead
The X1 base model is like 11k more than the Tonale Ti.
