- The refreshed Alfa Romeo Tonale debuts in the U.S. at the LA Show.
- Updates include a new grille, bumper, and expanded color options.
- U.S. models drop the PHEV setup for a 268 hp 2.0-liter turbo engine.
Alfa Romeo introduced the facelifted Tonale last month and the crossover will celebrate its North American unveiling at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It will be joined by the 33 Stradale, which is also making its North American auto show debut.
While we’ve already seen the Tonale, the company announced pricing will begin at $36,995 before a $3,250 destination fee. That’s $500 more than its predecessor and this raises the cost of entry to $40,245.

In return, customers will find a new grille and a sportier front bumper. They’re joined by an expanded color palette – that now includes Giallo Ocra, Rosso Brera, and Verde Monza – as well as a newly available contrasting black roof for $95. Buyers will also find an updated interior with “elevated materials, colors and finishes.”
Alfa Romeo hasn’t released full details, but the entry-level Sprint features LED lighting units, gloss black accents, and 18-inch wheels. They’re joined by aluminum pedals and fabric seats with contrast stitching.
That’s not exactly luxurious, but a $1,995 Premium Package adds ventilated leather front seats, an ambient lighting system, and a hands-free power liftgate.
The mid-level Tonale Veloce begins at $41,495 and features larger 19-inch wheels that are backed up by red Brembo brake calipers. The model also has a dual mode suspension, a hands-free power liftgate, aluminum paddle shifters, and perforated leather seats.
The Tonale Sport Speciale also begins at $41,495, but it goes in a slightly different direction. Focused on style, the variant is distinguished by silver accents, gloss black Brembo brake calipers, and 20-inch wheels with a three-hole design.
Inside, there are exclusive black-and-pearl perforated Alcantara seats with white contrast stitching. The model also has an Alcantara-wrapped dashboard and “exclusive ambient lighting signatures.”
