Thehas something of its own up its sleeve, coming to market in the U.S. with a high-horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain with pricing that puts it on par with Hyundai models.
Initially the brand had planned to debut its gas-powered Tonale first in the U.S., but plans have changed.

"As Alfa Romeo continues to re-establish itself in the U.S. market, it is not finding it easy to penetrate. While Giulia and Stelvio are strong and compelling products that have been lauded by the automotive media, consumers haven't really connected with the brand yet, especially as there are so many established and aspirational competitors in the U.S.
The premium brand will offer the vehicle with a turbocharged 1.3-liter engine that is matched with a 15.5-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery and 90-kilowatt-hour electric motor to deliver 285 horsepower, a figure that is best-in-class.The powertrain is estimated to offer up 350 pound-feet of torque, good for helping the car off the line and to 60 mph in around 6 seconds.The car's battery can go about 30 miles before a recharge is needed.
