FIRST DRIVE Plug-in premium SUV aims to mix driving fun and low tax costs
ALFA Romeo claims that the Tonale SUV its most popular model in the coming years, and that this plug-in hybrid version will account for at least half of sales, so there's a lot riding on this new car.
The UK also has one of the biggest take-up rates of plug-in hybrid vehicles in Europe. We've driven the Tonale PHEV before on the continent, but now it's time to see how it stacks up on our roads.

Alpin A390
