Used Alfa Romeo 159

Launched in 2006 and running until 2012, the Alfa Romeo 159 replaced the popular 156, offering more space, comfort and safety. Its sculpted bodywork and bold grille set it apart from rivals like the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4, while the strong range of diesel engines made it a practical choice in the executive market. Inside, you’ll find a well-equipped and spacious cabin – a marked improvement on its predecessor. The 159 is remembered today for injecting true personality into the mid-size saloon class.

Pros

Distinctive Italian styling
Spacious, high-quality interior
Efficient diesel options

Cons

Reliability can vary
Expensive servicing
Jittery drive on sports models

What are the key safety features of the Alfa Romeo 159?

The Alfa Romeo 159 is fitted with a range of safety features, including standard electronic stability control, multiple airbags, anti-lock brakes and active head restraints. It was designed with passenger protection as a focus, resulting in a strong Euro NCAP safety rating for its period.
What engine options are available with the Alfa Romeo 159?

Across its range, the 159 offered several petrol and diesel engines, including a 1.8, 1.9, 2.2 and 3.2-litre petrol, and 1.9, 2.0, and 2.4-litre diesels. Later models also featured an efficient 1750 TBi petrol turbo and an ECO diesel variant for improved economy.
What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the Alfa Romeo 159?

All 159s are well equipped, with even entry-level cars featuring alloy wheels, climate control, electric windows and electronic stability control. Higher trims add luxuries like leather upholstery and parking sensors, though infotainment is more limited compared to modern standards, with basic audio and early sat-nav.
What is the fuel consumption of the Alfa Romeo 159?

Diesel models are most efficient, with the 1.9-litre JTDM returning up to 47mpg and later ECO models offering up to 53mpg. Petrol engines range from roughly 25mpg for the 3.2 V6 to about 37mpg for the 1.8-litre, so running costs can vary by engine choice.
What should I check when buying a used Alfa Romeo 159?

When viewing a used 159, check for electrical issues such as non-working wipers or warning lights, timing belt changes and evidence of regular servicing. Pay attention to the clutch and brake condition. For peace of mind, consider a thorough check like The AA Vehicle Inspection.
Are Alfa Romeo 159 cars reliable?

Reliability varies. The 159 can be reliable with careful maintenance, but some owners report electrical gremlins, engine ECU issues and occasional wear to suspension and brakes. Diesel models, in particular, benefit from regular, specialist servicing.
