Alfa Romeo 166 3.0 AT Specs — First Generation Restyling
This overview looks at the Alfa Romeo 166 3.0 AT in the context of daily commuting, where the same route, the same parking and the same time pressures recur week after week.
1 generation, restyling · Sedan
Generation photo. Individual trim appearance may differ.
The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
236 km/h
Engine type
Gasoline
Transmission
Automatic
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
93 × 72.6 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
2959 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
4
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
220 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
162 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
Maximum power rpm
6300 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
265 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
8.6 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

Engine and Transmission
Much of a commute is spent waiting rather than moving: queues, junctions and car parks. In that setting, drivers tend to value gentle, unhurried progress at walking speeds, since the pace of the journey is usually set by the traffic ahead.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Weather, light and traffic all change during a single journey, and a driver reaches for heating, wipers or lights while still moving. Controls that behave the same way every time let those adjustments become automatic, which is what regular routes reward.
Body and Practicality
Commuting occasionally means a colleague or family member in the back for part of the week. What helps there is straightforward access: a clear opening, an unhurried step in and out, and somewhere obvious for a bag to sit.
