Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Alfa Romeo Tonale than in the Volvo XC40. The Alfa Romeo Tonale will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Volvo XC40.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Alfa Romeo Tonale or the Volvo XC40, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Alfa Romeo Tonale is much slimmer than the Volvo XC40, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Alfa Romeo Tonale takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Volvo XC40.

Handling
The Alfa Romeo Tonale has the same turning radius as the Volvo XC40, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Volvo XC40 is clearly the choice over the Alfa Romeo Tonale for pulling heavy loads. The Alfa Romeo Tonale has a little more horsepower than the Volvo XC40.

Powertrain
The Alfa Romeo Tonale has much lower torque than the Volvo XC40, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Alfa Romeo Tonale and the Volvo XC40. The Alfa Romeo Tonale has less cargo space than the Volvo XC40, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
