Alfa Romeo will unveil the 2025 Tonale at the Paris Motor Show 2024, which maintains the same design and styling as the current version.
The 2025 Alfa Romeo features a strengthened instrument cluster with improved visibility and a revised center tunnel with rotary gear selector.
I was able to see this car for myself at an exhibition here in France. And for the European market, the MY2025 Tonale brings subtle yet meaningful updates. This includes a redesigned center tunnel, a new rotary selector for the automatic transmission, and an improved gauge cluster.
In contrast, the recently announced US version of the MY2025 Tonale has a starting price of $48,195 but does not include these updates. Instead, it features a limited-run Tributo Italiano special edition, with Alfa Romeo rationalizing its lineup into one variant, replacing last year’s three-model offering. The same interior upgrades seen in Europe are expected to be introduced on the MY2026 Tonale for the US market.

The front of the Tonale flaunts the iconic ‘Trirobo’ grille, the distinctive Alfa Romeo ‘Scudetto’ shield and aggressive full LED matrix headlights with a ‘3+3’ design. The Tonale stands out with its wheel arches, fender flares, smooth greenhouse, and strong shoulders on the sides.
The 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale inherits the stylish and sporty European exterior of its predecessor.
Additionally, the Tonale features low-profile tires with Alfa Romeo’s signature rims. At the rear, the taillights repeat the design features of the sophisticated headlights and, in addition, form a sine curve that almost covers the width of the car. Alfa Romeo says the all-encompassing rear window is a homage to the 8C Competizione.
