The 2003–2005 Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon 2.5 V6 24v brings a naturally aspirated V6 to a practical five-door wagon, combining everyday versatility with the distinctive character of Alfa Romeo's performance-oriented models. Its 2.5-liter V6 produces 189 hp and 161 lb-ft of torque, while buyers could choose between a four-speed automatic and six-speed manual transmission. The front-wheel-drive layout and transverse engine configuration maintain the familiar 156 driving character.
Despite its useful wagon body, this version delivers lively performance, reaching a listed 143 mph and accelerating from 0–60 mph in 7.2 seconds. The Sportwagon also offers flexible cargo capacity while retaining the distinctive styling that sets the 156 apart from more conventional family cars. With 19.7 mpg combined, the V6 favors driving enjoyment and character rather than maximum fuel economy.
