Product Overview

Alfa Romeo 159 (Type 939) Sportwagon is a compact executive station wagon in production from 2006 to 2011. It was available with a range of inline-4, inline-5, and V6 engines that displaced 1.7 to 3.2 liters.
Compared to the 156 Sportwagon, the 159 Sportwagon was a little more elegant, thanks to its larger dimensions. However, even though the 159 looked great in sedan form, the wagon was a small downgrade style-wise.
The good news is that Alfa Romeo put a range of potent engines in the 159, gave it a range of rather good transmissions, and bestowed a multi-link suspension setup: Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. While unusual for a FWD vehicle, this setup offers superior handling characteristics than a normal strut setup.
