Kulindelwe embukisweni wezimoto i-Geneva 2019, ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule Alfa Romeo Tonale ibone ukukhishwa kwayo “kwaphushwa” kwaya ku-2022 ngaphandle kokunikeza noma yiluphi usuku oluqondile lokudalulwa kwayo.
Ngaleso sikhathi, umyalo wokuhlehliswa wawuvela ngokuqondile kusikhulu esiphezulu esisha se-Alfa Romeo, uJean-Philipe Imparato, okwathi ngokusho kwe-Automotive News, akazange ahlabeke umxhwele ngokusebenza kwe-plug-in hybrid.
Manje, cishe izinyanga eziyisithupha ngemuva kwalokhu kuhlehliswa, kubonakala sengathi i-CEO ye-Alfa Romeo isivele ijabule, okungenani lokho kukhombisa iqiniso lokuthi imodeli ye-transalpine ekade ilindelwe ekugcineni inosuku olukhonkolo lokwethulwa kwayo: Mashi 2022.
ukukhulelwa okude
Isivele "ibanjwe" ochungechungeni lwezithombe zenhloli, i-Alfa Romeo Tonale izoba imodeli yokuqala yomkhiqizo wase-Italy ezokwethulwa selokhu kwahlanganiswa i-FCA ne-PSA. Ngalesi sizathu, kusenokungabaza okuningi mayelana nezinsimbi zayo, ikakhulukazi maqondana nenguqulo ye-plug-in hybrid.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, njengemodeli ukuthuthukiswa kwayo kwaqala ngaphambi kokuhlanganiswa, yonke into yayizokhomba enguqulweni yayo ye-plug-in hybrid isebenzisa imishini yeJeep Compass (kanye neRenegade) 4xe, amamodeli iSUV entsha yase-Italy eyaba ngawo isiteji sayo ( Small. I-4X4 ebanzi) nobuchwepheshe.
Enguqulweni enamandla kakhulu (okungenzeka isetshenziswe i-Tonale uma kugxilwe ekusebenzeni okuthuthukisiwe yi-Imparato), lolu hlelo lwe-plug-in hybrid "luba nendlu" ebekwe ngaphambili injini kaphethiloli engu-180hp 1.3 Turbo enenjini kagesi. I-60 hp ifakwe ngemuva (okuqinisekisa ukuthi amasondo onke) ukuzuza isamba esingu-240 hp wamandla aphezulu ahlanganisiwe.
Kodwa-ke, ngaphakathi "kwebhange lesitho" laseStellantis kukhona ama-plug-in hybrid mechanics anamandla kakhulu. I-Peugeot 3008 HYBRID4, imodeli eyakhiwe ngaphansi kwe-aegis ye-Jean-Philipe Imparato, inikeza u-300 hp wamandla aphezulu ahlangene futhi kukhona ne-Peugeot 508 PSE ebona izinjini zayo ezintathu (i-combustion eyodwa nezimbili zikagesi) ziletha u-360 hp.
Uma sicabangela lokhu, ngeke simangale ukubona i-Tonale inenye yalezi zinhlelo ze-plug-in hybrid, okusele ukuthi uzibuze ukuthi ingabe inkundla yakho iyahambisana nalezi noma "izokuphoqa" ukuthi uphendukele kusixazululo esisetshenzisiwe. ngamaJeep okuqala afakwe ugesi.
