Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon

The Alfa 159 Sportwagon is a sophisticate; both beautiful and robust, passionate and dynamic. The Alfa 159 Sportwagon totally transcends practicality. It dresses the most advanced structural technology in a beautiful, smooth shape that secures its occupants, minimises noise, and provides cabin and dynamic comfort amongst the very best. The luggage compartment has been designed with the utmost attention to detail. Hidden storage compartments are integrated, together with an auxiliary power socket and a ski-port. A retractable cargo cover quickly hides temptations from view, whilst a cargo net protects the passenger space from any loose objects, or separates pets on the move. Roof rails and rear wiper washer are other thoughtful inclusions. Above-all, the luggage compartment is practical. Designed to hold and protect all types of objects, it offers a load capacity of 445 cubic litres, rising to 1235 cubic litres upon flattening the split-fold rear seat. From the finesse of its alloy finishes, sumptuous leather and cabin ambience, to the elegant simplicity of its every execution, the Alfa 159 Sportwagon is 'beautiful' in the true sense of the word.

The Sportwagon brings all strengths of the Alfa 159 to those who require versatile space. It dresses the most advanced structural technology in a beautiful, smooth shape that secures its occupants, minimises noise, and provides cabin and dynamic comfort amongst the very best.

It is with this concentrated potency that the Alfa 159 2.2 JTS Sportwagon masterfully combines punchy performance, fleet-footed agility and sharp economy. Advanced body engineering and 7 airbags ensure the Alfa 159 2.2 JTS is a safety heavyweight, with a class-leading 5 Star Euro NCAP rating. The 2.2 JTS also comes standard with next-generation ABS, including electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability, traction control and hill-holding functions.

Alfa Romeo is a global leader in turbo-diesel technology, having pioneered advancements in phased common-rail injection, combustion chamber design and emissions management. The Sportwagon 2.4 JTD is most powerful Turbo Diesel available in an Alfa Romeo. On one hand this unique engine thrusts the 159 Ti to 100 kmh in 8.4 seconds for both the manual and automatic variants and on to a maximum speed of 228 kmh (224 for the auto) yet on the other hand the manual has an open road fuel figure of 5.4 litres/100 km and a combined figure of 6.8 l/100 km. It holds a class-leading 5 Star Euro NCAP rating, thanks to its advanced structural engineering and comprehensive 7-airbag protection system. The all new 6 speed QTronic automatic transmission is also available in the 159 Ti 2.4 JTD Sportwagon. This advanced transmission evaluates your driving style and selects an optimal gear accordingly. The QTronic also provides the ability to switch to manual control for heightened driver involvement. The Alfa 159 Ti is fitted with sports suspension that lowers the 159 by 20mm and which provides the 159 with a sharper turn-in response from the steering and less body roll, but without the harsh ride that afflicts some sports suspension systems. This more able chassis is further enhanced by the standard fitment of 19 inch alloy wheels with 235/40 x 19 low profile tyres to provide additional roadholding performance.
