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.

Audi adds a more rakish sibling to the Q5 model line for 2021. Dubbed the Q5 Sportback, the latest iteration of the brand's compact crossover takes on the BMW X4 and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe. 

Like its competition, the Q5 Sportback trades cargo space for style. Whereas the Q5 SUV sports 25.9 cubic feet of space aft of its rear seatback, the Sportback offers just 24.7 cubes. Fold the Sportback's rear seats down and its cargo hold expands to 51.9 cubic feet, a sum that bests the X4's and GLC's and nearly matches that of the current Q5's 54.1-cubic-foot space.

2021 Audi Q5 Sportback: Familiar Face

Predictably, the Q5 Sportback looks much like the 2021 Q5 from the window line down, adopting design cues like those of its squarer sibling. This includes fascias that integrate Audi's latest styling elements, a more stylish headlight design, and new organic LED taillights with three different light signatures: one for entering the car, another for exiting, and a final iteration that's tied into the car's Dynamic drive mode.

Additionally, Audi offers the crossover in two different exterior trims: the standard Advanced setup and the sportier S Line configuration. S Line models boast more aggressive details to the grille, front fascia's side intakes, and rear bumper.

2021 Audi Q5 Sportback: Power Sport(Back)

Despite the Q5 Sportback's sultry shape, its dynamics remain largely identical to that of the standard Q5. Both active dampers and an air suspension system are available options, the latter of which allows the driver to adjust the Sportback's ride height by a total of 2.4 inches. Of this, 1.8 inches are dedicated to raising the ride height in order to improve the Sportback's off-road capabilities. During high-speed driving, the Audi's air suspension automatically drops the body 0.6 inch in order to lower the center of gravity and decrease drag. 

Power for the Q5 Sportbacks comes courtesy of a 261-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four for motivation, which mates to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Audi also plans to offer a sportier SQ5 Sportback with standard adaptive dampers and a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 that pairs with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Regardless of what's underhood, every Q5 Sportback comes standard with all-wheel drive.
