Alfa Romeo presented a new special series called Tributo Italiano that will be available across its entire lineup – Tonale, Giulia, and Stelvio – and to all global markets. The series pays tribute to the Italian origins of the brand with visual treats, serving as the new flagship trim of the lineup.
The Tributo Italiano versions of the Tonale, Giulia, and Stelvio are exclusively available in three exterior shades – Rosso Alfa, Verde Montreal, and Bianco Alfa – representing the colors of the Italian flag. The body-colored lower bodykit is introduced for the first time in the Tonale compact SUV, adding a sporty flair in combination with the Dark Miron accents.
Each model gets a unique set of alloy wheels measuring 19 inches on the Giulia, 20 inches on the Tonale, and 21 inches on the Stelvio. Other common exterior details include a black roof, red Brembo brake calipers, and mirror caps with the Italian flag.

Inside, Alfa Romeo designers chose black leather upholstery for the seats with red details on the stitching and perforation, plus a special embroidery on the headrests. The red stitching is expanded on the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Furthermore, the Tonale Tributo Italiano adds a carbon-style effect to the illuminated dashboard insert, as a means of differentiation from lesser trims.
The Tributo Italiano is positioned at the top of each model’s lineup – setting aside the performance-focused Quadrifoglio models – so the equipment is quite generous. Standard features include dual-zone air-conditioning, a heated steering wheel, aluminum shift paddles, ambient lighting, heated and ventilated front seats, a hands-free electric tailgate (Stelvio and Tonale), and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.

The powertrain options for the Giulia and Stelvio Tributo Italiano include the turbocharged 2.0-liter petrol producing 276 hp (206 kW / 280 PS) and the 2.2-liter turbodiesel producing 207 hp (154 kW / 210 PS). Both are mated to an 8-speed automatic sending power to all four wheels thanks to the Q4 all-wheel-drive system. Alfa Romeo also offers the option of the less powerful 2.2-liter turbodiesel with 158 hp (118 kW / 160 PS) which is the only way to get rear-wheel-drive.
The Tonale Tributo Italiano is available with the more powerful version of the 1.5-liter mild-hybrid petrol-producing 158 hp (118 kW / 160 PS), or the flagship Q4 Plug-in Hybrid with a combined output of 276 hp (206 kW / 280 PS). All three models come equipped with Alfa Romeo’s Dual-Stage Valve active suspension with electronically controlled damping, and plenty of ADAS.
The Tributo Italiano versions of the Alfa Romeo Tonale, Giulia, and Stelvio are already available to order with prices ranging depending on the market. For the photo shoot of the special series, Alfa Romeo chose the ancient city of Matera in Southern Italy.
