I live in old apartment complex and we don't have ev chargers in garage. So, can I drive this car by using only gas engine? I love how the car look and thinking to buy one.
Yes you can drive it engine only. You can put it in hybrid mode and use it like a traditional hybrid. It will charge the battery as you drive and during regenerative Braking. Not to full, but it will drive partly in electric when conditions are right.
Seems good to me, if you have a sub 30m commute then you have an EV but then can do long trips when needed with normal gas car mpg with out charge stops.
I have a Tonale Sprint, the base model, not the dolled up Veloce model, which mechanically, is identical to the Sprint model. If you selectively use the EV only, and Hybrid/save EV Battery modes, so you use the battery in cities and stop and go traffic, where it is more efficient, and use gas on highways, where it is more efficient, rather then drive on the battery until it is dead, then run on mostly gas for the rest of the trip, except for power created from regenerative braking, you can increase you MPG by at least 10%. On trips like that are made in this video, I consistently get 5.2 - 5.3litres/100 kilometers ( 44 - 45MPG ). So this vehicle can be even more efficient, if you work at it, then what has been shown in this video.
Actually this isn't a Giulia (where driving is more important than consumption). This is a small SUV based on the same platform like the Renegade and Compass. I would not even call it Alfa... PS: I have a Giulia veloce...
Way over priced and much better PHEV choices. I would look at the Toyota Rav 4 Prime, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson or Mitsubishi Outlander as better options.

@@offtheshelfrides Thanks!
Just bought a black out edition T.I fully loaded love it so far has every option I could ever think of
I enjoyed it more that the Hornet R/T
Thank you for this video it really helped me with my decision.
Glad I could help!

Thanks for sharing!
Good test. However you don't buy an alfa because of any data figueres. It's all about looks and feel.
Yes you do!

It can always be both

The Name is part of the price....
