Does anybody drive a Tonale Hybrid?

I'd love to hear owner's thoughts on them; I'm considering buying one. The reviews seem positive but it would be helpful to hear 'real world' experiences of having one.

Have a look on Alfaowner.com. There is quite an active chat about them on there.

I had the non plug in one as a courtesy car, nice but so glad I got a Stelvio…

What made you think that?

I've got a tonale plug in hybrid. It's a bit smaller than a stelvio and the build quality is not as good as the last stelvio . It's pretty quick aswell

As per post above really.

Interestingly when I was looking at the two cars the salesman said I wouldn’t like the Tonale as much as the Stelvio…and he was right.

As much as i prefer the looks of the Tonale over the Stelvio, I don't think it would be quite large enough in the boot for my needs, so I've decided to go for the latter.

I initially had a Veloce in mind and was just about to sign, when during one last trawl through the ads I stumbled on a Speciale. Same Monte Carlo Blue, same 280bhp engine but fully loaded. I think the only option not ticked was the Harmon Kardon sound system. It even has adaptive suspension and a sunroof. Not insignificantly it was also £10,000 less.

Would love a Tonale if it was an EV, as I could do with some more space than in our Giulietta, with a newborn.

Think the difference is probably the seats, which aren't quite as nice in the Speciale (at least that's what I noticed comparing to the earlier Milano's)

Having come from a Giulia Speciale I was surprised that the Stelvio version had the same seats as the Giulia Super. I ended up with a Ti which had the sports seats like my old car.
