2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale vs 2023 Lexus UX: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? |
|
2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale vs 2023 Lexus UX Comparison.
The 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale will inject some Italian blood into the fray of subcompact luxury crossovers. With sexy bodywork that's accentuated by Alfa Romeo's signature sharp-nosed face, the Tonale is sure to garner admiring looks. The company also promises that it'll be satisfying to drive, with a fully independent suspension and available adaptive dampers. Power comes from either a standard 256-hp turbo-four or a more powerful plug-in-hybrid powertrain with more than 30 miles of estimated all-electric range. Throw in the elevated driving position and standard all-wheel drive that SUV shoppers crave—as well as the potential for a high-powered Quadrifoglio model—and the 2023 Tonale is set to be a compelling new entry in a class that includes the BMW X1, the Mercedes-Benz GLA250, and the Volvo XC40. What's New for 2023? The Tonale debuted in concept form at the 2019 Geneva auto show. Now, Alfa has released official photos and information that give us a much better idea about what the new little Italian ute has to offer. The company says the Tonale will hit U.S. showrooms starting in the first quarter of 2023. There are cars designed to make you think they’re SUVs—the Subaru Outback and the Volvo V60 Cross Country come to mind—but the 2023 Lexus UX is an SUV that does it’s best to look and feel like a car. It shares its platform with the Toyota Prius, which is every inch a passenger car, and like the Prius the UX is a hybrid—essentially last year’s UX250h hybrid model with a few updates. All UX’s come with a 181-hp powertrain that marries three electric motors, a four-cylinder engine, a continuously variable automatic transmission, and standard all-wheel drive. The result, predictably, is poky acceleration coupled with fuel economy ratings that are higher than many other small SUVs’. The interior is cozy and appropriately appointed, and the UX also offers a generous amount of standard tech and safety equipment. But when it comes to doing SUV things like hauling cargo, rivals such as the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLB-classoffer more practicality. What's New for 2023? Lexus has dropped the nonhybrid UX200 models from the lineup for 2023making the all-wheel drive hybrid powertrain standard. Lexus says it has made changes to the UX’s chassis and suspension to improve both handling and ride quality. We’ll be able to confirm that only after we’ve driven this latest model. A new F Sport Handling package is available on the F Sport model that includes and adaptive dampers. Lexus has also installed its more modern Lexus Interface touchscreen infotainment system into the UX this year. The updated software looks more up-to-date and offers an integrated voice assistant, over-the-air update capabilities, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An 8.0-inch display is standard but the system looks best on the larger, optional 12.3-inch screen. The infotainment display has been relocated so it’s within reach for the driver and front passenger and the company’s annoying touchpad controller has been eliminated and. cars, tire, tires, truck, trucks, suv, suvs, burnout, smoke, drag strip, drag race, race track, kia, optima, telluride, ford, mustang, gt, cars and coffee, coffee and cars, crash, crush, spin, spinout, flip, crowd, fuel, fire, burn, oil, gas, street race, street outlaws, cop, cops, police, arrest, arrested, jail, prison, ticket, ticketed, steal, stolen, subaru, wrx sti, wrx, sti, corvette, c8, honda, civic, accord, raptor, toyota, camry, car, hybrid, rav4, acura, type r, genesis, gv80, car review, alfa romeo, Giulia, Stelvio, GV70, tonaleredline reviews, redline review, 2theredlinellc, 2theredline, redline, review, reviews, car review, car reviews, cars, car, drive, autos, trucks, auto review, 2023 alfa romeo tonale, 2023 alfa romeo, alfa romeo tonale, alfa romeo tonale test drive, alfa romeo tonale review, alfa romeo tonale interior, alfa romeo tonale 2023, alfa romeo tonale quadrifoglio, alfa romeo, tonale alfa romeo, tonale, tonale 2023, alfa tonale 2023, nyias, nyias 2022, alfa tonale, new alfa romeo tonalenew lexus rx, new lexus rx 2023, lexus rx 2023 redesign, lexus rx 300 2023, lexus rx 350 2023, lexus rx 450 2023, lexus rx 450h 2023, lexus rx 500h 2023, lexus rx 500 2023, lexus rx 2023 interior, lexus rx 2023 release date, lexus rx 2023 model, lexus suv 2023, lexus rx electricnew lexus ux, new lexus ux 2023, lexus ux 2023, lexus ux 2023 interior, lexus ux interior, lexus ux 2023 inside, lexus ux 2023 interior colors, lexus ux 2023 color options, lexus ux 300 2023 interior, lexus ux 250h 2023 interior, lexus ux 250h 2023, lexus ux 200 2023 interior, lexus ux 200 2023, lexus ux red interior, lexus ux 2024, lexus ux 2024 interior, lexus ux 2023 redesign, lexus ux 2023 refresh, lexus ux 2023 facelift, lexus ux 2023 restyle |
