Alfa Romeo Tonale 2026 Video Review

In a world now stacked to the brim with the visual drudgery of same-same looking SUVs, it is a genuine pleasure to gaze upon the updated Alfa Romeo Tonale. Forget all that eye-of-the-beholder stuff, this is an objectively beautiful small SUV. And if you disagree, then I'm afraid you’re wrong. It’s as simple as that.

But let’s be totally honest — Alfa Romeo has never had an issue building cars that are lovely to look at. It’s all the other stuff that has proven a little trickier.

This Tonale, the brand says, is designed to fix all that. In fact, the model's global product manager boldly claims his newest creation is actually of a higher quality, and is more reliable, than its German rivals from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi (based, he says, on warranty-claim data). And what’s more, he’s promising a car that engages and excites the driver, rather than one that feels like a “computer with four wheels”.
