ALFA ROMEO’S 2025 TONALE

Maranello Alfa Romeo invites Dolce to an immersive driving experience to feel the versatility, finesse and precision of the Tonale

WRITTEN BY MARC CASTALDO

When I got the invitation to experience Alfa Romeo’s 2025 Tonale Intensa, I anticipated a distinctive encounter befitting the marque’s storied Italian legacy. While names like Ferrari and Maserati often dominate the conversation, the Tonale Intensa asserts its presence with quiet confidence. Its sculpted design and refined performance are not simply luxurious — they are unmistakably Alfa Romeo.

Upon arriving at Maranello Alfa Romeo in Vaughan, Ont., I saw immediately why the dealership maintains its position as a benchmark in the industry. Under the leadership of general manager Anthony Chiaravalloti the experience is marked by an uncompromising standard of service and a deep understanding of the Alfa Romeo legacy. Chiaravalloti’s commitment to matching clients with a vehicle that reflects both their lifestyle and discerning taste is evident in his every interaction.

As I entered the dealership I saw the 2025 “Alfa Black” Tonale Intensa standing out prominently among its Alfa Romeo siblings. I couldn’t help but admire its Italian sophistication: its bold 20inch black wheels that feature a gold-diamond-cut finish and matching black calipers adorned with a light gold Alfa Romeo signature; its glossy black body kit and sleek black mirror caps complete with Italian-flag accent that enhance its sporty appeal; its LED headlamps and daytime running lights that ensure visibility and style; and its sunroof and adaptive suspension that deliver a refined, performance-focused driving experience.

When I finally sat behind the wheel with Chiaravalloti at my side he explained to me the level of consideration that went into designing the interior, from its aesthetic to its display interface’s user-friendliness, all unmatched because of their subtlety and simplicity. Blending luxury with innovation, the Black Alcantara seats and dashboard with tan stitching create a refined atmosphere, while heated front seats and embroidered headrests add both comfort and style. The car’s two-tone leather-wrapped steering wheel with aluminum paddle shifters enhances driver control. Multicoloured ambient lighting is complemented by the Intensa logo accenting the front centre armrest. Advanced technology includes a 10.25-inch Uconnect touchscreen, 12.3inch cluster, Harman Kardon audio and Level 2 autonomy with Traffic Jam Assist.

How was the driving experience? In a word: exceptional. The car handles smoothly and powerfully while remaining balanced and precise. It’s simply a no-nonsense car that has no unnecessary features. With the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale Intensa, you will look and feel your best behind the wheel.
