A true "Alfa owner" can immediately recognize the pleasure of driving in complete safety that only Alfa Romeo can offer. The New 166 is the highest expression of this philosophy. The New 166 is a genuine executive class sports saloon. A unique concept, one to be enjoyed, for those who in business as in life prefer to drive, not to be driven. It is also a highly contemporary project, made even more attractive and up to date by countless improvements in terms of styling, engines, equipment and detail that only the experience gained over millions of kilometers can give.

Engines
In the best tradition of Alfa Romeo, the New Alfa 166 remains at the forefront of automobile engineering, offering driving pleasure that lives up to the highest expectations. The New Alfa 166 offers four different petrol engines, plus the powerful new second generation Common Rail diesel: the 175 bhp 2.4 JTD M-Jet 20V.

Safety
The intrinsic safety of the New Alfa 166 begins with the torsional rigidity of the bodyshell, which helps to ensure that the car enjoys maximum stability and roadholding. The bodyshell is surrounded by a series of components that are uncompromising in terms of quality and generosity, including the FPS Fire Prevention System that cuts off the flow of fuel to the engine in the event of a collision, the double, full-size front airbags (with passenger side airbag that can be disabled), and front side airbags. The most recent innovations concern protection against side-on collisions, with the anti-penetration bars in the doors and energy-absorbing interior materials being joined by new front head bags, mounted on the roof under the ceiling upholstery. These bags are only activated in the event of strong side-on collisions and their job is to protect the heads of the front seat.
