Alfa Romeo Tonale was elected ‘Quattroruote New Car of the Year 2023’

Alfa Romeo Tonale has won the New Car of the Year 2023 competition, which has been organized by Quattroruote magazine since 2000. With 18% of the preferences, expressed on the Quattroruote.it website, the brand’s first electric C-SUV excelled on a shortlist of 20 new models selected by the authoritative editorial staff of the magazine. For Alfa Romeo, this is a renewed success: in the past, the coveted title was won by the 147 (2001), MiTo (2009), Giulietta (2011), Giulia (2017) and Stelvio (2018).

Raffaele Russo, Country Manager of Alfa Romeo Italy, declared: ‘We are honored to receive this prestigious award, which was appointed to Tonale by the readers of Quattroruote, genuine enthusiasts and experts in the field of international motoring. Since the competition was launched, no less than 24 years ago, all our new models have always won, which is a clear sign of the strong bond between Alfa Romeo and the general public. After all, Alfa Romeo ‘mechanical creations’ have always transcended the concept of mere means of transportation and they conquered the land of the most visceral emotions, winning everyone’s heart.”

Alfa Romeo Tonale is the model with which the Brand made its entry into the world of electrification while remaining loyal to its DNA of noble Italian sportiness since 1910. The distinctive Italian design is complemented by cutting-edge technology and top-level connectivity, as demonstrated by the sophisticated infotainment system. For the Tonale, the Brand created unique and exclusive technical solutions to emphasize its DNA and offer the customer an incomparable driving experience, typical of Alfa Romeo, in which meticulous attention to detail combines with a continuous pursuit of the highest quality. Recently, the Brand presented the Tonale Plug-In Hybrid Q4, the highest-performing version of the range which redefines the ‘Efficient Sportiness’ paradigm. In fact, the model is the most efficient Alfa Romeo ever with up to 26g/km of CO₂ emissions which allow free access to city centers, over 80 km of battery life in full-electric mode for superior daily mobility, and up to 600 km of total fuel mileage for long distance driving on extra-urban roads. In addition, a total power of 280 hp guarantees Alfa Romeo’s distinctive driving dynamics and sportiness.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that two other Stellantis models also made it onto the podium of the ‘New Car of the Year 2023’ competition: Maserati Grecale and Jeep Avenger, the brand’s first full electric SUV, with 14% and 12% of the votes respectively, proving that the Group’s SUVs are increasingly being appreciated by Italian customers.
