1991–1994 Alfa Romeo 33 1.4 IE Specs & Performance

The 1991–1994 Alfa Romeo 33 1.4 IE brought the distinctive boxer-engine character of the 33 into a more accessible, fuel-injected form. Its 1.4-liter flat-four uses electronic injection and a longitudinal layout, preserving one of the model's most unusual engineering traits while making the car better suited to everyday driving.

As a five-door hatchback with front-wheel drive, the 33 1.4 IE was designed as an uncomplicated and practical compact car rather than a performance flagship. Its appeal today comes from that combination of usable hatchback packaging and Alfa Romeo's unusual flat-four configuration, which gave the 33 a character that conventional small hatchbacks of the period could not easily replicate.
