2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale
“We are happy to announce the official EPA electric range of 33 miles and 77 MPGe for the Alfa Romeo Tonale, which will allow many of our customers to drive their daily commutes without tapping the fuel tank. The Alfa Romeo Tonale represents the beginning of our transformation to greater electrification while staying true to the performance characteristics our customers expect from the brand, including a best-in-class 285 horsepower.” ~ Larry Dominique, SVP, head of Alfa Romeo North America
2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV
“While this is Mazda’s first plug-in hybrid in the U.S., the CX-90 PHEV will maintain the responsiveness, performance, and driving dynamics that define Mazda vehicles. This all-new e-Skyactiv G powertrain, tuned specifically for the North American market, will provide customers with the best of both worlds in terms of performance and efficiency..” ~ Mazda Media
