15.5 kWh battery in the back
The battery, placed at the rear of the vehicle, will allow the Tonale to propel its rear wheels.
The combined power of these two technologies gives the owner of this SUV a total of 280 horsepower. Lovers of sensations and driving pleasure should be satisfied with this new SUV.
