MILAN, Feb. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The interior of Alfa Romeo's recently unveiled Tonale SUV is upholstered with unique Alcantara material developed jointly by the two companies.

The Alcantara seating material used for Tonale's interior is produced at the company's Complex Manufacturing facility in Nera Montoro, Italy -- a special unit that utilizes complex technologies to customize and provide automakers with finished products ready for assembly.

Alfa Romeo's new SUV goes on sale in April and will be available in North America with either a gasoline or a hybrid plug-in-electric powertrain.

Black Alcantara® with round laser-drilled holes and contrasting red backing alternates with plain black Alcantara on the Tonale's seats for an especially sporty appearance. Alcantara also is found on the SUV's dashboard.

Alcantara's excellent grip, light weight and breathability combine with the material's aesthetic and sensory qualities to further enhance the Tonale driving experience.

The partnership between Alfa Romeo and Alcantara dates back to the early 1990's. Like Alfa Romeo, Alcantara is synonymous with Italian quality and excellence. Every meter of Alcantara material is produced in the heart of Italy at the company's production facilities in Nera Montoro in Umbria for export throughout the world.
