Alfa Romeo will launch a small SUV based on the Tonale Concept showcased at this year’s Geneva Motor Show.

The concept feature a plug-in hybrid powertrain and is said to be almost production ready.

It is expected to deliver the best driving dynamics in the segment, with the hybrid powertrain being used to enhance the experience rather than just reduce emissions.

A combustion engine will power the front wheels and an electric motor will provide drive to the rear.

The Tonale concept vehicle is equipped with a 12.3-inch fully-digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

 

There is no indication of when the vehicle is expected to go on sale, but Alfa Romeo’s product plan suggests a compact SUV will be available by 2022.
