new > Alfa Romeo > Alfa 159

Designed by Giorgio Giugiaro, the Alfa 159 represents a new breed of Alfa Romeo. It brilliantly integrates style and elegance with cutting-edge technology and safety.

The Alfa 159 is not merely part of the scenery, but stands out purposefully as an object of desire. It is driving pleasure at it purest; thrilling and unique, yet balanced and controlled.

Though luxuriously specified, the 159 invites the personal touch of discerning individuals with three trim combinations, nine body colours and an upper realm of options.

Imbued with individual character and spirited performance, the 159 accentuates all that is synonymous with Alfa Romeo, the driven focus of Italian passion.

159 2.2 JTS

The Alfa Romeo 159 is driving pleasure at its finest. A true Italian sporting thoroughbred. It is unique. It is thrilling. It is incredibly safe and offers absolute control.

The 2.2 litre 16 valve JTS petrol engine is a perfect blend of compact size and light weight.

It is with this concentrated potency that the Alfa 159 2.2 JTS masterfully combines punchy performance, fleet-footed agility and sharp economy.

Advanced body engineering and 7 airbags ensure the Alfa 159 2.2 JTS is a safety heavyweight, with a class-leading 5 Star Euro NCAP rating.

The 2.2 JTS also comes standard with next-generation ABS, including electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability, traction control and hill-holding functions.

159 Ti 2.2 JTS

The 2.2 litre 16 valve JTS petrol engine is a perfect blend of compact size and light weight.

It is with this concentrated potency that the Alfa 159 Ti 2.2 JTS masterfully combines punchy performance, fleet-footed agility and sharp economy.

The Alfa 159 Ti comes fitted with sports suspension that lowers the 159 by 20mm and which provides the 159 with a sharper turn-in response from the steering and less body roll, but without the harsh ride that afflicts some sports suspension systems. This more able chassis is further enhanced by the standard fitment of 19 inch alloy wheels with 235/40 x 19 low profile tyres to provide additional roadholding performance.

Advanced body engineering and 7 airbags ensure the Alfa 159 Ti 2.2 JTS is a safety heavyweight, with a class-leading 5 Star Euro NCAP rating.

The 1.9 JTD comes standard with next-generation ABS, including electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability, traction control and hill-holding functions.

It holds a class-leading 5 Star Euro NCAP rating, thanks to its advanced structural engineering and comprehensive 7-airbag protection system.

The all new 6 speed QTronic transmission is also available in the 159 1.9 JTD. This advanced transmission evaluates your driving style and selects an optimal gear accordingly. The QTronic also provides the ability to switch to manual control for heightened driver involvement.

Whether used for the urban cut and thrust, or as a superb grand tourer, the 159 1.9 JTD will reward you with effortless progress, frugal efficiency and outstanding comfort.

159 2.4 JTD

Alfa Romeo is a global leader in turbo-diesel technology, having pioneered advancements in phased common-rail injection, combustion chamber design and emissions management.

The 2.4 JTD is most powerful Turbo Diesel available in an Alfa Romeo. On one hand this unique engine thrusts the 159 to 100 kmh in 8.4 seconds for both the manual and automatic variants and on to a maximum speed of 228 kmh (224 for the auto) yet on the other hand the manual has an open road fuel figure of 5.4 litres/100 km and a combined figure of 6.8 l/100 km.
