The generation lists 6 versions: 1.6 TD AT (130 hp), 2.0 T AT Q4 (256 hp), 1.3 T AT Q4 (256 hp), 1.3 T AT Plug-In Hybrid Q4 (280 hp), 1.5 T AT (130 hp), and 1.5 T AT (160 hp). Engine types in the line-up are Diesel, Gasoline, and Plug-in. Drive is FWD or AWD. Gearboxes are Robotic (6 or 7 speeds) or Automatic (6 or 9 speeds). Power in the data runs from 130 hp (95 kW) on 1.6 TD AT and 1.5 T AT (130 hp) to 280 hp (205 kW) on 1.3 T AT Plug-In Hybrid Q4. This page is a spec sheet from those figures only: price, reliability scores, interior photos, oil grades, dimensions in cm or inches, kerb weight, and engine-bay photos are not in the data, so they are written as not measured rather than guessed.
Searches for Alfa Romeo Tonale review, Tonale Veloce, Tonale Ti, Tonale vs Stelvio, 2024 / 2025 / 2026 horsepower, and “for sale” sit outside this dataset. What follows is engine options, horsepower, hybrid specs, performance, economy, dimensions, and a version comparison that uses only arithmetic on the numbers given.
Alfa Romeo Tonale generations
1 generation (start 2022-02-01, stop not measured). Body: SUV 5-doors. Versions in this generation: 6. No restyling is listed as a separate generation.
Five of the six versions share the generation start date 2022-02-01: 1.6 TD AT, 2.0 T AT Q4, 1.3 T AT Q4, 1.5 T AT (130 hp), and 1.5 T AT (160 hp). 1.3 T AT Plug-In Hybrid Q4 starts later, on 2022-11-01; it is still 1 generation, not a second generation. All six remain in production (stop not measured).
Across the generation, every listed engine is Front, transverse, Inline, 4 cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder, Turbo, Direct injection (direct). Front and rear suspension on every version is Independent, spring. Front brakes are Ventilated disc; rear brakes are Disc. Those chassis labels do not change between Diesel, Gasoline, and Plug-in versions in this data.
Alfa Romeo Tonale specs and engine options
The table is the spec sheet for all 6 versions. Torque (Nm), rpm for power and torque, and engine oil specification are not measured for every version.

Nm is not measured on all six versions.
Engine type, engine size, and horsepower by version
1.6 TD AT. Diesel, 1600, 130 hp / 95 kW, 4 Inline, Turbo, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), fuel Diesel. Gearbox Robotic, 6. Drive FWD. Compression ratio not measured. This is the only Diesel engine in the Tonale data and the only version that does not use 95 fuel.
2.0 T AT Q4. Gasoline, 2000, 256 hp / 188 kW, 4 Inline, Turbo, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), fuel 95. Gearbox Automatic, 9. Drive AWD. Compression ratio not measured. This is the largest displacement in the line-up (2000 versus 1600, 1500, and 1300). It matches 1.3 T AT Q4 on horsepower (256 hp / 188 kW) with 700 more displacement (2000 − 1300) and three more gearbox speeds (9 versus 6). Engine type is Gasoline, not Plug-in.
1.3 T AT Q4. Plug-in, 1300, 256 hp / 188 kW, 4 Inline, Turbo, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), fuel 95. Gearbox Automatic, 6. Drive AWD. Compression ratio not measured. 0–100 is 6.2. Top speed not measured. Combined consumption not measured. Same peak power as 2.0 T AT Q4 (256 hp) on a 1300 Plug-in rather than a 2000 Gasoline engine.
1.3 T AT Plug-In Hybrid Q4. Plug-in, 1300, 280 hp / 205 kW, 4 Inline, Turbo, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), fuel 95. Gearbox Automatic, 6. Drive AWD. Compression ratio not measured. 0–100 is 6.2. Top speed is 206. Combined consumption is 1.14. This is the highest horsepower in the catalogue: 280 hp versus 256 hp on 1.3 T AT Q4 and 2.0 T AT Q4 (difference 24 hp / 17 kW: 205 − 188). Versus 1.5 T AT (160 hp) the gap is 120 hp (280 − 160); versus 1.5 T AT (130 hp) and 1.6 TD AT it is 150 hp (280 − 130). Production of this version starts 2022-11-01, nine months after the other five (2022-02-01).
1.5 T AT (130 hp). Gasoline, 1500, 130 hp / 95 kW, 4 Inline, Turbo, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), fuel 95. Compression ratio 12.5. Gearbox Robotic, 7. Drive FWD. Same 130 hp / 95 kW as 1.6 TD AT, with 100 less displacement (1500 versus 1600), Gasoline instead of Diesel, Robotic 7 instead of Robotic 6, and 95 instead of Diesel fuel.
1.5 T AT (160 hp). Gasoline, 1500, 160 hp / 117 kW, 4 Inline, Turbo, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), fuel 95. Compression ratio 12.5. Gearbox Robotic, 7. Drive FWD. Same name as the other 1.5 T AT; the distinction in this catalogue is 160 hp versus 130 hp (difference 30 hp / 22 kW: 117 − 95). Displacement, compression 12.5, Robotic 7, and FWD are the same as 1.5 T AT (130 hp).
Two versions share the name 1.5 T AT; they must be read with their horsepower (130 hp and 160 hp). Two versions share 256 hp: 2.0 T AT Q4 (Gasoline, 2000, Automatic 9) and 1.3 T AT Q4 (Plug-in, 1300, Automatic 6). Two versions are Plug-in on 1300: 1.3 T AT Q4 at 256 hp and 1.3 T AT Plug-In Hybrid Q4 at 280 hp.
Engine sound, engine problems, engine reliability, and engine-bay layout are not measured. Veloce horsepower and Ti horsepower are not separate rows in this data.
Performance, mpg, and hybrid specs
0–100, top speed, and consumption are sparse. Where a cell is empty in the source, it is not measured.
1.6 TD AT: 0–100 not measured, top speed not measured, city / highway / combined consumption not measured, CO2 not measured, eco class not measured.
2.0 T AT Q4: 0–100 not measured, top speed not measured, city / highway / combined consumption not measured, CO2 not measured, eco class not measured.
1.3 T AT Q4: 0–100 is 6.2. Top speed not measured. City / highway / combined consumption not measured. CO2 not measured. Eco class not measured. Hybrid horsepower for this Plug-in version is 256 hp / 188 kW.
1.3 T AT Plug-In Hybrid Q4: 0–100 is 6.2 (same 6.2 as 1.3 T AT Q4). Top speed is 206. Combined consumption is 1.14. City consumption not measured. Highway consumption not measured. CO2 not measured. Eco class not measured. PHEV horsepower in this row is 280 hp / 205 kW. Combined 1.14 is the only consumption figure in the entire Tonale dataset; it cannot be compared with the other five versions because those combined figures are not measured.
1.5 T AT (130 hp): 0–100 not measured, top speed not measured, city / highway / combined consumption not measured, CO2 not measured, eco class not measured.
1.5 T AT (160 hp): 0–100 not measured, top speed not measured, city / highway / combined consumption not measured, CO2 not measured, eco class not measured.
So the only timed 0–100 values are both 6.2, on 1.3 T AT Q4 and 1.3 T AT Plug-In Hybrid Q4. The 24 hp gap between those two Plug-in versions (280 − 256) does not show up as a different 0–100 in this data. The only top speed is 206, on 1.3 T AT Plug-In Hybrid Q4. Gasoline 2.0 T AT Q4 at the same 256 hp as 1.3 T AT Q4 has 0–100 not measured, so a 2000 versus 1300 acceleration comparison is not in the numbers.
Dimensions, weight kg, tank, and ground clearance
Kerb weight is not measured on all six versions. Gross weight is not measured on all six versions. Ground clearance is not measured on all six versions. Fuel tank is not measured on all six versions. Wheel sizes are not measured on all six versions. Length, width, height, wheelbase, and dimensions in cm or inches are not in the data.
What is measured on the chassis side is the same for every version: Independent, spring front; Independent, spring rear; Ventilated disc front; Disc rear.
Which Alfa Romeo Tonale version to choose
Choice here is arithmetic on the six rows, not trim names such as Veloce or Ti (those names are not in the version list).
Diesel FWD, lowest listed power among Diesel-only: 1.6 TD AT — 130 hp / 95 kW, 1600 Diesel, Robotic 6, FWD. It is the only Diesel and the only version on Diesel fuel. 0–100, top speed, and consumption are not measured.
Gasoline FWD, two outputs, same name: 1.5 T AT at 130 hp / 95 kW versus 1.5 T AT at 160 hp / 117 kW. Both are 1500 Gasoline, compression 12.5, Robotic 7, FWD, fuel 95. The 160 hp row is 30 hp / 22 kW above the 130 hp row. 0–100, top speed, and consumption are not measured on both. If the goal is the milder 1500 Gasoline, the 130 hp 1.5 T AT matches 1.6 TD AT on 130 hp / 95 kW but not on fuel, displacement, or gearbox speeds (7 versus 6). If the goal is more Gasoline FWD power without AWD, the 160 hp 1.5 T AT is the only FWD version above 130 hp.
Gasoline AWD, largest engine: 2.0 T AT Q4 — 256 hp / 188 kW, 2000 Gasoline, Automatic 9, AWD, fuel 95. Displacement 2000 is 500 above the 1500 FWD pair and 400 above 1.6 TD AT. It is the only Automatic 9 in the data. Power equals 1.3 T AT Q4 (256 hp) with a different engine type (Gasoline versus Plug-in) and 700 more displacement. 0–100, top speed, and consumption are not measured.
Plug-in AWD, 256 hp: 1.3 T AT Q4 — 256 hp / 188 kW, 1300 Plug-in, Automatic 6, AWD, 0–100 6.2. Smallest displacement in the catalogue (1300), same power as the 2000 Gasoline Q4. Combined consumption not measured; top speed not measured.
Plug-in AWD, peak horsepower and the only economy/top-speed row: 1.3 T AT Plug-In Hybrid Q4 — 280 hp / 205 kW, 1300 Plug-in, Automatic 6, AWD, 0–100 6.2, top speed 206, combined 1.14. Versus 1.3 T AT Q4: +24 hp / +17 kW, same 6.2 to 100, same 1300, same Automatic 6, same AWD; extra measured fields are 206 and 1.14. Versus 2.0 T AT Q4: +24 hp, −700 displacement, 6 speeds instead of 9, Plug-in instead of Gasoline. Versus 160 hp 1.5 T AT: +120 hp and AWD instead of FWD. Versus 130 hp 1.5 T AT or 1.6 TD AT: +150 hp. This version is also the late starter (2022-11-01).
Drive split. FWD: 1.6 TD AT, 1.5 T AT (130 hp), 1.5 T AT (160 hp). AWD: 2.0 T AT Q4, 1.3 T AT Q4, 1.3 T AT Plug-In Hybrid Q4. All three AWD versions are at 256 hp or 280 hp. All three FWD versions are at 130 hp or 160 hp. The AWD floor (256 hp) is 96 hp above the FWD ceiling (160 hp).
Gearbox split. Robotic: Diesel 1.6 TD AT (6 speeds) and both 1.5 T AT (7 speeds). Automatic: 2.0 T AT Q4 (9 speeds) and both Plug-in 1.3 versions (6 speeds).
Power ladder in hp: 130 (1.6 TD AT and 1.5 T AT 130 hp) → 160 (1.5 T AT 160 hp) → 256 (2.0 T AT Q4 and 1.3 T AT Q4) → 280 (1.3 T AT Plug-In Hybrid Q4).
Price, reliability, engine problems, weight kg, and dimensions are not measured, so they cannot decide the version. On the numbers that exist, 1.3 T AT Plug-In Hybrid Q4 is the only row with 280 hp, 206 top speed, and combined 1.14; 1.3 T AT Q4 is the Plug-in that already hits 6.2 at 256 hp; 2.0 T AT Q4 is the 2000 Gasoline AWD at that same 256 hp; the two 1.5 T AT rows are the 1500 Gasoline FWD pair at 130 and 160 hp; 1.6 TD AT is the 1600 Diesel FWD at 130 hp.
