DEPORTIVIDAD EFICIENTE

The Tonale Hybrid equips a 1.5-litre hybrid engine which adopts a Variable Geometry Turbine on a gasoline base. This engine delivers 240 Nm of max torque at 1500 RPM for a maximum power of 160 HP.

The Tonale Hybrid boasts linear power delivery through the whole RPM range. The Variable Geometry Turbine guarantees an extraordinary engine elasticity, minimising the typical lag time of a turbocharged engine by 30% to 50% and stretching the engine thrust through the whole RPM range.

The hybrid system based on the new 48 V 7-speed TCT allows to have many features that help maximising the efficiency of this hybrid car: 
• Silent start - to start up the vehicle without the need of turning on the gasoline engine, using the Electric Vehicle mode only; 
• Energy Recovery - to recover energy that would otherwise be wasted as the car decelerates (e-Coasting) and during braking (Regenerative Braking);
• Boost & Load point shift - e-Boost makes it possible to increase wheel torque with the electric motor supporting the gasoline engine; also, the operating point of the thermal engine is optimised, thanks to proper calibration of the torque delivered by the electric motor;
• Electric Drive - Enabling the vehicle to travel using only the electric motor in specific driving situations, such as starting the car, parking or following a stop-and-go queue. 

The 4-cylinder turbocharged engine has been designed to be the best fit for hybrid usage, to optimise thermodynamics, and therefore to save on fuel consumption. This challenging task has been fully accomplished by designing the engine with a high compression ratio of 12,5:1, cooled pistons, a cylinder head with an integrated cooled pulse converter exhaust manifold, specific exhaust cam lobes profiles driven by Dual Variable Cam Phasers and a new generation of 350 bar Fuel Injection System. Furthermore, the integration with the new 48 V 7-speed TCT, combined with a Belt-Driven Starter Generator (BSG), allows to drive in pure electric for short distances.

The Alfa Romeo Tonale Plug-in Hybrid Q4 boasts a surprising driving experience with smooth response and acceleration. The advanced hybrid system combines the 1.3-litre MultiAir turbo gasoline engine - to provide traction to the front wheels - with the electric motor, to which the rear wheels are connected. The electric motor offers an output of 90 kW peak power and torque of 250 Nm.
The system delivers a total output of 280 HP for exceptional performance : 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 6.2 seconds, a top speed of 135 km/h in full-electric, and up to 206 km/h top speed in hybrid mode.

With 26-33 g/km CO2 emissions and 1,2 l/100km consumption in the combined WLTP cycle, the Tonale Plug-in Hybrid Q4 can cover up to 69 km, and has a pure electric range of up to 82 km in the urban cycle with zero emissions. The full driving range (gasoline + electric) is up to 600 km. Tonale’s “power looping” technology allows the Q4 system to work even if the 15.5 kWh battery is low. The P1 eMotor will charge the battery allowing P4 to continue to work.

The Tonale Plug-in Hybrid Q4 offers an advanced range of EV features that are meant to improve vehicle’s efficiency: 

• E-SAVE -to maintain the battery charge or charging it while driving using the internal combustion engine. The E-SAVE mode supports two different modes:
  • “Battery Save” (Passive E-SAVE) maintains the state of charge of the battery through the predominant use of the internal combustion engine;
  • “Battery Charge” (Active E-SAVE) charges the battery up to 3 selectable levels through the operation of the internal combustion engine on which the combined front electric generator acts.
• Regenerative braking- to recover kinetic energy during all deceleration or braking phases. It is always active regardless of the driving mode to maximise energy recovery when the throttle and brake pedals are released. The energy is stored in the battery pack instead of being dissipated as heat on the brake discs.
• E-Coasting- to intervene in place of the exhaust brake when the throttle is released, allowing energy recovery when slowing down even with the brake pedal released.

The Tonale Plug-in Hybrid Q4 is equipped with a 306 V lithium-ion, nickel-manganese-cobalt battery pack with a 15.5 kWh capacity. The pack is fitted with a dedicated heating and refrigerant gas cooling circuit to keep the battery at its optimum temperature. The battery can get to a full charge in only 2.5 hours when using the 7.4 kW fast charger.
