Just one glance reveals it all - the aesthetic genius of Giorgetto Giugiaro, combined with the passion of the design team. The Alfa 159 is a triumph of symmetry and proportion, enhanced with subtle styling hints that evoke the spirit of Alfa Romeo's past and present. The Alfa 159 is longer, wider and lower than its predecessor. The wide wheels and flared wheels arches give notice that the Alfa 159 is firmly planted on the tarmac and that it intends to stay that way. The solid muscular stance means that not only will it hold the road with a limpet-like grip for an exhilarating drive but also that its occupants will be safe and secure inside. Just as the Alfa 159's stunning style alerts the driver to the prospect of intense driving pleasure, so its exquisite interior communicates three more of Alfa Romeo's cherished values - those of comfort, luxury and technology. The Alfa 159 fulfils all the practical functions demanded of it in terms of comfort, reliability, safety and versatility. Driving enjoyment is inextricably linked with control, and here the car excels. Take the handling, for instance - the product of a finely tuned suspension system that combines high wishbones at the front and an advanced multi-link setup at the rear. This combination ensures that the wheels stay at right angles to the road and that the maximum amount of tyre tread is kept in contact with the tarmac. The Alfa 159 is available in both petrol and diesel forms: 1.9 JTS 16v, 2.2 JTS 16v and 3.2 JTS 24v petrol engines, and 1.9 JTD M-Jet 16v and 2.4 JTD M-Jet 20v diesel engines. The innovative JTS petrol engines employ the very latest direct fuel injection technology that dramatically improves power and torque while the new JTDm Multijet diesels are the cutting edge of engine design. With enhanced power and torque, and lessened fuel consumption the diesel diesel engine makes a smooth economical choice. |
