Alfa Romeo
The Alfa Romeo Tonale is a compact luxury crossover produced by the Italian company Alfa Romeo since February 2022. Being a five-seater compact luxury crossover SUV, it slots above the Alfa Romeo Junior and below the Alfa Romeo Stelvio in the marque's crossover SUV range. Known internally as the 965, the Tonale is the first hybrid-powered Alfa Romeo and became the first new model introduced by the brand in six years.
It is named after the Tonale mountain pass in Northern Italy. In August 2022, a rebadged and restyled version was unveiled as the Dodge Hornet, exclusive to the North American market as the smallest, entry-level SUV offering from Dodge. The Hornet was sold alongside the Tonale in the region with different specs and lower pricing.

This is the catalogue record of the Alfa Romeo Tonale, one of 194 models Alfa Romeo has placed in the historical record and one of more than seventeen thousand cars the MotorJury library tracks. The record places its introduction in 2022. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Alfa Romeo Tonale properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2020s were the current era, in which battery-electric platforms, software-defined cars and China's rise as the world's largest producer are rewriting a century of industry order. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Nissan Nissan Z, the Kia Kia EV6, the Tesla Tesla Cybertruck — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Alfa Romeo Tonale reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 2.0 L FCA Global Medium Engine / GME T4 Turbocharger / turbo Straight-four engine / I4 / Petrol/electric mild hybrid: / 1.5 L Fiat Global Small Engine / G; quoted output is 95 kW (Hybrid) / 117 kW (Hybrid VGT) / 134 kW (engine) / 212.5 kW (combined) / 191 kW (2.0); kerb weight is recorded at 1525 –; drive goes through 6-speed FPT C635 DDCT transmission / FPT C635 dual-clutch automatic / 7-speed Alfa Romeo TCT dual-clutch automatic / 9-speed ZF 9HP transmission / ZF 9HP automatic (2.0); the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive. Worked together, those figures give roughly 62 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within Alfa Romeo's own catalogue the Alfa Romeo Tonale sits alongside the A.L.F.A 12 HP, the A.L.F.A 15 HP, the A.L.F.A 15-20 HP, the A.L.F.A 24 HP. The record names the successor = as its predecessor and the class = Compact luxury crossover SUV (C) as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Alexandros Liokis at Centro Stile Alfa Romeo under Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos. Assembly is recorded at Italy: Pomigliano d'Arco.
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
The catalogue records what the Alfa Romeo Tonale was; the ownership database records what it is like to own. MotorJury computes a verdict for every model year the United States federal record covers — complaints, recalls, real economy — refreshed nightly, with no opinions involved. If this car reached the American market, its verdicts are in there.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
