Product Overview

Alfa Romeo 166 (chassis code 936) facelift is an executive sedan in production from 2003 to 2007. It was available with a range of inline-4, inline-5, and V6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.2 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, this facelift gave the 166 a modified front grille, amongst other cosmetic changes, that elevated the design of the vehicle. There were also chassis modification and a revamped engine lineup with a couple of new engines, a 3.2L V6 petrol and a 20-valve 2.4L I5 diesel.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Alfa Romeo 166 comes with double-wishbone at the front and multi-link at the rear. Combined with RWD, this setup provides one of the best handling characteristics and tuning capabilities.
