1995–1996 Alfa Romeo 146 1.7 16v Specs & Performance

The 1995–1996 Alfa Romeo 146 1.7 16V belongs to the first-generation 146 and is powered by a naturally aspirated 1.7-liter flat-four gasoline engine. It produces 129 hp and 117 lb-ft of torque, paired with a five-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive. The five-door, five-seat hatchback combines the practicality of the 146 body with the distinctive character of Alfa Romeo's Boxer engine, making it a well-rounded compact for everyday driving.

Its naturally aspirated Boxer engine gives the 146 a different character from the later Twin Spark models. The car reaches a 124-mph top speed and 9.3-second 0–60 mph time, while the front-wheel-drive layout and compact 100-inch wheelbase contribute to predictable handling and easy maneuverability. With four valves per cylinder and peak power delivered at higher engine speeds, the 1.7 16V rewards drivers who are comfortable using the upper part of the rev range.
