What does it look like?

 

What is the Tonale like inside? 

"The Tonale’s interior arouses real emotions, not to mention the latest technology, ensuring a connected and comfortable experience, while maintaining the pleasure of a sporty drive that always remains in the lead."-Alfa Rome South Africa

Style

"The swooping curves, sexy indentations and shapely rear window teamed with the distinctive 'Trilobo' front end and triple-headlamp-in-one design is unmistakably Alfa. The continuous tripe-wave LED light signature in front looks mysterious and menacing. Viewed from the rear in low light, the red lines of the back-end's LED unit also cut through the darkness with a curvy, linear pattern which looks equally impressive. The Alfa's headlamps are multi-functional matrix units with different functionalities for driving in town, on the motorway, in poor weather, and in the countryside."- Ane Albertse, AutoTrader
