2025 ALFA ROMEO TONALE TRIBUTO ITALIANO FAMILY REVIEW WITH CHILD SEAT INSTALLATION

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale Tributo Italiano offers a distinct Italian flair in the compact crossover segment, sharing its platform with the Dodge Hornet but boasting unique styling and powertrain tuning. Reviewers appreciate its striking exterior design, particularly the unique green paint and signature Alfa Romeo grille, and the premium feel of the interior materials like the soft leather seats. However, the interior design is noted as being somewhat basic for a luxury vehicle, and the infotainment screen's usability and real estate usage are criticized. Practicality is also a concern, with limited storage space and a tight rear seat that requires compromising front seat space when a child safety seat is installed. The driving experience is described as fun but not as powerful as expected, with a slightly firmer ride that transmits bumps more than desired, though it handles well. Visibility is a significant drawback, with small rear windows and obstructive pillars. The plug-in hybrid system offers a decent all-electric range for daily commutes, but the overall fuel economy figures are deemed misleading. The price, while high, is considered reasonable for the Italian brand's offering, though serviceability might be a concern for some buyers.
