Alfa Romeo has updated its 159 and given its saloon two new engines, new trim levels and a new market positioning to make it more competitive than ever.
The all-new 1,75-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivers 147 kW between 4 750 and 5 500 r/min. The maximum torque of 320 N.m is available at 1 400 r/min. It’s mated with a six-speed manual transmission that helps send this 157 from zero to 100 km/h in 7,7 seconds before it reaches a top speed of 235 km/h.
The other engine is Alfa’s proven V6 3,2-litre petrol unit. The carmaker claims that, although it’s not new to the range, the application is. Power is 191 kW and torque is 322 N.m at 4 500 r/min. This engine, teamed with a six-speed manual gearbox, is now available without the Q4 all-wheel-drive system, while the six-speed auto ‘box comes with this system.
