Alfa Romeo 166

The other options are the 2.5 V6 petrol (which gives 188 hp instead of 192 hp from the Alfa 156) and 3.2 V6, which has 240 hp (same as the GTV) instead of the 220 model that derives (3.0 V6).

Alfa Romeo 166

Diesel engines are not in four-cylinder, five of them. The Alfa Romeo 166 2.4 JTD maintains ten valves and added to supply the 2.4 Multijet 175 HP and twenty valves.

The petrol versions of Alfa Romeo 166 have no change in the engine (2.0 and 2.5 V6 24V TS), maintain the same consumption data and benefits as previous models, although they now have a box six-speed gears instead of five. Diesel 150 hp is still using a box of six gears and now consume on average 7.2 liters instead of 7.5. The Alfa Romeo 166 2.4 JTD 175 hp can have a stick shift five-speed automatic made by Aisin.

Alfa Romeo 166

The new version of 3.2 liters is distinguished from competition by high consumption and is not better than the average. The 2.4 JTD has a capacity of consumption and acceleration similar to that of its rivals

Alfa Romeo 166

Three years after the launch of the common duct system Unijet, Fiat has announced a new generation of this system: the Multijet. Structurally it is very similar to the original Unijet, and goes one step further on the idea of fragmenting the injection in several stages. In this case, and depending on the conditions under which the vehicle is in motion, the number of injections per cycle of work can amount to five.
