Engine Types and Performance
The Alfa Romeo Tonale offers a versatile lineup of engines, including a Plug-in Hybrid, Petrol MHEV, and Diesel options. It boasts power figures ranging from 130 to an impressive 280 HP. Its acceleration is noteworthy, with the quicker variants hitting 100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds. In terms of efficiency, the Tonale stands out with a fuel consumption as low as 1.3 L/100km for its hybrid variant, enabling an electric range of 63 km thanks to a 12 kWh battery.
On the other hand, the Nissan Qashqai primarily features Petrol MHEV and Full Hybrid engines, delivering between 140 and 190 HP. While its top acceleration time is commendable at 7.9 seconds, the fuel consumption is slightly higher than the Tonale, with figures around 5.1 to 6.8 L/100km. The Qashqai’s engine lineup presents a robust performance as well, but it doesn’t quite match the torque outputs offered by the Tonale, with the latter providing up to 320 Nm compared to the Qashqai's maximum of 330 Nm.
