AWD Driving Capability
Every 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale is built with standard Q4 all-wheel drive (AWD) for top-tier handling confidence across a wide range of driving conditions. Customize the handling dynamics you get from your AWD system using the DNA drive mode selector. We already covered how you can select for pure electric performance, but the Alfa Romeo DNA drive mode selector also does so much more.
In dynamic mode, the Tonale draws from both the gas and battery for maximum power, and the steering, braking, and suspension are tuned for sporty performance. ESC off mode allows you to deactivate the electronic stability system, and shares the stiff suspension damping pre-sets of the dynamic mode. For more supple, comfortable suspension damping pre-sets, choose natural mode, which draws from both gas and electric power, or advanced efficiency and its pure electric power mode.
