The Alfa Romeo Tonale is a car produced by the Italian company Alfa Romeo since February 2022. Being a five-seater compact crossover SUV, it slots above the Alfa Romeo Junior and below the Alfa Romeo Stelvio in the marque's crossover SUV range.[3] Known internally as the 965,[4] the Tonale is the first hybrid-powered Alfa Romeo and became the first new model introduced by the brand in six years.[5] It is named after the Tonale mountain pass in Northern Italy.[6][7]

In August 2022, a rebadged and restyled version was unveiled as the Dodge Hornet, exclusive to the North American market as the smallest, entry-level SUV offering from Dodge. The Hornet will be sold alongside the Tonale in the region with different specs and lower pricing.
