The 2026 Alfa Romeo Tonale has arrived with a nice refresh that upgrades its sporty design. The front fascia receives an updated Scudetto grille with a blackout finish and a larger lower front fascia. Out back, the crossover carries over the full-width LED taillight design, which is complemented by a subtly revised bumper. Inside, the Tonale remains the same, but the material quality has improved throughout. You can also opt for new red leather seats and red contrast stitching. In terms of exterior colors, the 2026 Tonale receives three new ones, all with sexy Italian names to match: Rosso Brera, Verde Monza, and Giallo Ocra.
Under the hood, you now only have one choice. That’s right, the Tonale drops the plug-in hybrid system for 2026. That powertrain had 285 hp and 347 lb-ft of torque on tap. However, it only had an EPA-estimated all-electric driving range of 33 miles and a total driving range of 360 miles. When driven as a standard hybrid, the Tonale PHEV had an EPA-estimated mpg combined rating across the board.
2026 Alfa Romeo Tonale: 3 Trims, Standard Turbo Power
Now, your sole option is a 2.0-liter turbo-four with 268 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission. AWD comes standard on all models. The 2026 Tonale also receives a wider track and a steering ratio of 13.6:1. On top of that, four-piston Brembo brakes and a dual-mode suspension are available on higher grades.
Offered in three trims, Sprint, Veloce, and the new Sport Speciale, the 2026 Alra Romeo Tonale. Slotting in at the top of the range, the Tonale Sport Special features distinct design details, including gloss black Brembo brake calipers, a contrasting black roof, and silver exterior accents. It also comes standard with 20-inch alloy wheels with a three-hole design reminiscent of an old telephone. Meanwhile, the Sport Speciale’s interior comes with two-tone black and pearl Alcantara seats, contrasting white stitching, and a black Alcantara-wrapped dash.
