Alfa Romeo 166 2.5 MT Specs — First Generation Restyling
City journeys set the agenda for the Alfa Romeo 166 2.5 MT here: repeated stops, tight timing and short distances between errands, all of which shape what matters on an ordinary weekday.

The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
225 km/h
Engine type
Gasoline
Transmission
Manual
Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
No
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
FWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
88 × 68.3 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
2492 cm³
Engine location
Front, transverse
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
6
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
188 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
138 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry
10.3
Maximum power rpm
6300 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
221 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
5000 rpm
Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
8.4 s
Engine power system
Distributed injection (multi-point)
Number of cylinders
6
Valves per cylinder?
The number of intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder. Four valves per cylinder is common and helps the engine breathe at higher speeds. Glossary entry
4

Engine and Transmission
Urban driving asks for smooth pulling away rather than sustained effort, since most of a trip passes below the speeds a road allows. Drivers generally value predictability at low speeds: knowing roughly how the car will respond when a gap opens.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Familiar controls cost nothing in thought. On a route with frequent turns and signals, adjusting mirrors, indicators or climate should be something the hands manage while the eyes stay on the road, which comes from repetition rather than instruction.
Body and Practicality
Shopping is the everyday luggage case in town: bags that need to stand upright and not slide about on the way home. What helps is a flat loading area and a lip low enough that lifting is not awkward.
