Alfa Romeo Tonale vs Mercedes-Benz GLA: get ready!

When Mercedes-Benz introduces a new vehicle, we always look at it out of the corner of our eye. We know we're going to get something good, but we don't go out of our way to find out everything about it.

At Alfa Romeo, it's just the opposite. When a new model is about to make its debut, it's always a great moment, because the company has a reputation for delivering models that are enormously emotional.

This will once again be the case with the new Tonale SUV. When compared to the Mercedes-Benz GLA, the Tonale proves that it's not volume that counts, but quality. The Tonale stands up to its new rival.

First of all, when comparing the styles, there's an initial solid distinction between the two products. Let's be clear, the GLA is a beautiful SUV. However, the Tonale's lines are so attractive that it's impossible not to take a second and third look at it when you see it. This is of course because of its unique grille across the industry, but it's the overall flowing lines that stand out.

Next, we need to look at Alfa Romeo's approach, which is to put forward a plug-in hybrid solution. This one will take advantage of a 1.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, which will work with electric units to offer not only all-wheel drive, but also an interesting power output (288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque), coupled with a fuel economy that will be a reference in the category.

And then there is the conduct that is typical of any Italian model. You can't describe it; you have to experience it. The brand's other two models, the Giulia sedan and the Stelvio SUV, quickly established themselves in the market with a reputation for delivering emotion by the cube. It will be no different with the Tonale.

For a model that will blow your mind, this is definitely the most interesting new product expected on the market this year. Don't miss the chance to discover it for yourself. You'll be impressed with this vehicle in every way.
