The Tonale adds a Sport Speciale trim for 2026. There is also a mild facelift for the Tonale that brings a revised front grille and bumper inspired by the 33 Stradale supercar.

The 2026 Tonale is offered in all-wheel drive. Available in two trim levels, Base and Sport Speciale, the Tonale is powered by a 2.0L direct injection turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with 268 horsepower. It is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission sending power to the wheels.

The Tonale is well-equipped with a rear spoiler, heated power folding mirrors, LED headlights, front fog lights, 18-inch wheels, heated front seats, automatic dual-zone climate control, HD satellite radio, a 6-speaker sound system, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, voice activated navigation, mobile hotspot, wireless device connectivity and charging, 4 USB ports, a heated leather steering wheel, and adaptive stop-go cruise control.

The Sport Speciale trim adds paddle shifters, painted calipers, a power liftgate, 20-inch wheels, and Alcantara seats.

Standard safety features on the Tonale include front and rear parking sensors, active lane departure, blind spot warning, forward collision mitigation, rear collision warning, front pedestrian detection, a driver attention alert, and traffic sign information system.

Tonale base prices are surprisingly reasonable. Its base price puts it in competition with other small luxury SUVs such as the Audi Q3, the Mercedes-Benz GLA, and the BMW X1. Anyone looking for a high-performance luxury SUV will have their expectations met by all the standard and optional features of the 2026 Tonale.
