When we think of Italy, we can't help but be transported to the Amalfi Coast, with the picturesque landscape joined by a pasta dish (or two) in the summer sun. And as fashion editors, we also of course associate the country with some of our favourite designers: Gucci, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, to name a few. If we rewind to last summer, we found ourselves watching the shows of said designers during Milan Fashion Week. It's a busy time, and dashing around the bustling streets of Milan was made a whole lot easier thanks to Alfa Romeo. The Italian car maker – founded in 1910 – has been a longstanding brand of the second largest city in Italy. In fact, you're bound to have also spotted the most popular Alfa Romeo cars – from the Giulia to the Stelvio – in the UK. Now, though, we're huge fans of the latest model: the Tonale.
The compact hybrid SUV has three different styles to choose from – TI, Veloce and Edizione Speciale, and each is as sleek. The exterior has the triple headlights that are instantly recognisable for the Tonale model and inside, the steering is light and speedy and it features a 10.25 inch touchscreen – perfect for controlling all the features on-the-go and seeing the sat nav clearly.
In a glossy green and a rich blue, the Alfa Romeo Tonale is a statement-making vehicle that's bound to get you noticed. If you're looking for a new car to take you into the new year in serious style, we can confirm this model is a wise investment.
