Alfa Romeo 156 Engines and Transmissions

The Alfa Romeo 156 engine range spans modest to genuinely quick. A 1.6 petrol with a manual gearbox and front-wheel drive suits everyday commuting, while the diesel 1.9 manual estate offered here adds all-wheel drive for grip. At the top, the 3.2 with a robotic transmission delivers fast, clutchless shifts.
