Kwaba ngo-2019 lapho sazi khona Alfa Romeo Tonale , ngisho nemoto yombukiso, ebilindele i-SUV entsha yohlobo lwe-Italian ye-C-segment, ebekwe ngaphansi kwe-Stelvio ukuze ithathele indawo ye-Giulietta ngokungaqondile.
Bekumele yethulwe kulo nyaka, kodwa ngemuva kokuhlanganiswa kwe-FCA ne-Groupe PSA, okusinikeze umdondoshiya wezimoto i-Stellantis, kunqunywe ukuthi kuhlehliswe i-Tonale entsha ku-2022, ngomyalo we-CEO entsha ye-Alfa Romeo, uJean. -Philipe Imparato (owayehola iPeugeot phambilini).
Isizathu esiyinhloko sokuhlehliswa, njengoba kwabikwa yi-Automotive News ngo-April odlule, sihlobene nokusebenza kwe-hybrid ye-plug-in, engazange ikholise i-Imparato.

I-Tonale izokhiqizwa e-Pomigliano d'Arco, e-Italy, imboni eyakhiwe yi-Alfa Romeo futhi yavulwa ngo-1972 ukuze kukhiqizwe i-Alfasud. Futhi waqhubeka ukukhiqiza amamodeli brand kuze 2011 (owokugcina kwaba 159). Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, imboni ikhiqize kuphela i-Fiat Panda yamanje, ngakho ukukhiqizwa kwe-Tonale kubonisa ukubuya kwe-Alfa Romeo e-Pomigliano d'Arco.
Ake sicabange ukuthi i-Tonale eyi-plug-in hybrid isebenzisa izingxenye ezifanayo ne-Jeep Compass (ne-Renegade) 4xe, amamodeli iSUV entsha yase-Italy eyabelana ngawo inkundla (Small Wide 4X4) kanye nobuchwepheshe.
Izinhlobo zeJeep zinezinguqulo ezimbili ze-plug-in hybrid system, enamandla kakhulu ehlanganisa injini kaphethiloli engu-180hp 1.3 Turbo ebekwe ngaphambili enenjini kagesi engu-60hp efakwe ku-axle yangemuva (eqinisekisa ukushayela ngamasondo amane).
Sekukonke, kukhona amandla amakhulu angu-240 hp ahlangene, okuvumela iCompass kanye neRenegade ukuthi ifinyelele ku-100 km/h ngemizuzwana engaphezudlwana kwesikhombisa, nebhethri engu-11.4 kWh evumela ukuzimela kukagesi phakathi kuka-43 km no-52 (kuya ngemodeli kanye izinguqulo). Amanani asivumela ukuthi sibe nombono walokho esingakulindela ku-Tonale.
Kodwa-ke, manje ehlanganiswe ne-Stellantis, i-Alfa Romeo Tonale iphinde izuze ukuncintisana okusha kwangaphakathi, ngendlela ye-Peugeot 3008 HYBRID4, imodeli eyakhiwa ngesikhathi u-Jean-Philipe Imparato eyinhloko yomkhiqizo wase-French.
Lokhu akugcini nje ngokufinyelela ku-300 hp wamandla amakhulu ahlangene, kodwa kuqeda u-0-100 km/h wakudala ngaphansi kwemizuzwana eyisithupha, futhi imemezela ibanga likagesi elingu-59 km. U-Tonale kuzodingeka athole “imisipha” ukuze afane noma eqe “umzala” wakhe omusha ongumFulentshi.
Ifika nini?
Naphezu kokubambezeleka, akusekude ukuthi sazi i-Alfa Romeo Tonale entsha, imodeli ethembisa ukuthi izobaluleka enhlanhleni yomkhiqizo. Sisengakubona ngaphambi kokuphela konyaka, kodwa ukuthengiswa kwayo kuzoqala kuphela ngekota yokuqala ka-2022.
Okwamanje, ama-prototypes okuhlola ayaqhubeka "ebanjwa", kulokhu e-Italy, "esaphethe" ukufihla okuningi.
Uma i-prototype yasekuqaleni ka-2019 (ngezansi) inikeze isithombe esicacile sokulingana okuphelele nokubunjwa kwe-SUV yesikhathi esizayo, kusazobonakala ukuthi mingaki imininingwane yayo enconywa kakhulu - njengokwelashwa okunikezwe ngaphambili nangemuva - okuzokwenza kumodeli yokukhiqiza.
