2007–2008 Alfa Romeo 159 1.8 MPI 16v Specs & Performance

The 2007–2008 Alfa Romeo 159 1.8 MPI 16v brings the distinctive styling of the 159 together with a naturally aspirated 1.8-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine. Producing 138 hp and 129 lb-ft of torque, it sends power to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. With a 128 mph top speed and 10.1-second 0–60 mph time, the 1.8 MPI is geared more toward balanced everyday driving than outright performance.

As a four-door sedan, it seats five and provides 14.3 cubic feet of luggage space. The engine uses DOHC, 16 valves and multi-point fuel injection, while the chassis features double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension. Its 30.6 mpg combined economy and 565-mile listed range make the 1.8 MPI a practical entry point into the 159 range, combining straightforward naturally aspirated performance with the model's distinctive Italian character.
