Alfa Romeo honours Italian heritage with Tonale, Stelvio and Giulia special-editions for Australia

The Alfa Romeo Tonale, Stelvio and Giulia will be offered with a limited-edition specification celebrating the brand's Italian heritage in Australia.

Alfa Romeo has confirmed it will offer a limited number of its Tributo Italiano models in Australia, which honour the Italian brand's "heritage, excellence and sportiness".

The Tonale Tributo Italiano is based on the Veloce Plug-In Hybrid variant, while the Stelvio and Giulia Tributo Italiano appear to be built from the turbocharged four-cylinder Veloce grades.

The all-wheel-drive Tonale Tributo Italiano Plug-In Hybrid is priced from $79,000, while the rear-wheel-drive Giulia Tributo Italiano costs $80,450 and the all-wheel-drive Stelvio Tributo Italiano retails for $88,450, all before on-road costs.

Twenty-six examples of the Giulia Tributo Italiano will be offered in Australia, followed by 20 Tonale PHEVs and 14 Stelvios for a total of 64, representing around 10 per cent of Alfa Romeo's annual sales.

Italian flag-inspired colours are available for the three models: Alfa White, Alfa Red and Montreal Green.

All models receive an emblem symbolising the green, white and red Italian flag on the gloss-black side mirror caps, along with a black-painted roof, body-colour exterior trim for the Tonale and Stelvio, and a standard glass sunroof.

Red Brembo brake calipers are included across the special-edition line-up, with 19-inch alloy wheels for the Giulia, 20 inches for the Tonale, and 21 inches for the Stelvio.

Inside, the Tributo Italiano models receive black leather-accented sports seats with red perforations, embroidered front headrests, and red stitching on the dashboard, seats, and door panels.

Adaptive suspension – usually reserved for the Stelvio and Giulia Quadrifoglio locally – has been added to the Stelvio and Giulia Tributo Italiano, borrowing the technology from range-topping Competizione four-cylinder variants sold overseas but not currently offered in Australia. 

The latest models follow the Australia-exclusive Edizione Carbonio special editions announced in November 2024 for the Stelvio and Giulia – while the Tributo Italiano Special Series for the Tonale, Stelvio and Giulia are a global offering available overseas since November 2023.
