The 2003–2005 Alfa Romeo 156 2.5 V6 24v is a first-generation medium sedan powered by a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter V6 gasoline engine. The engine produces 189 hp and 161 lb-ft of torque, with the page listing both a 6-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels. Its four-door, five-seat configuration combines everyday sedan practicality with the character of a high-revving V6, while the transverse front-engine layout keeps the powertrain compact.
The 156's V6 provides strong performance without forced induction. Maximum power arrives at 6,300 rpm and peak torque at 5,000 rpm, helping the sedan reach 143 mph and 0–60 mph in 7.1 seconds. At 3,153 lb, it uses double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension, while the 102.2-inch wheelbase and front-wheel-drive layout give it a balanced road-going configuration.
