THE ALPHA OF THE RELAUNCH – From the new one Alfa Romeo Tonale much of the future of the Biscione house goes by. We analyzed it under “X” rays, testing it on the road and on the track, noting (with our testers) the performance and consumption of the 160 HP 1.5 Hybrid version. Find it all in the new issue of to the steering wheel. This month our test center “got its hands” (and tools) also on another spearhead of the Stellantis group, the Maserati MC20, powered by the 630 HP of the Neptune engine and a refined carbon fiber structure, and on the sixth generation of the Opel Astra, the latter in the 131 HP turbo petrol version. But there is also room for a luxury diesel-powered hybrid sedan, the Mercedes C 300 d, and for a small, pleasant-to-drive crossover-coupe, the Volkwagen Taigo 1.0 TSI.

These are the Kia Niro crossover, which is completely renewed, and the brand new Mazda CX-60, the latter rechargeable from the socket. On the other hand, the original and fanciful XEV Yoyo microcar, which can also be driven by sixteen-year-olds, is powered only.
