The Alfa Romeo 164, produced from 1987 to 1998, was a significant step forward for the Italian manufacturer. It was their first front-wheel drive executive saloon, aiming to compete with established European rivals like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz W124. Designed by Pininfarina, the 164 showcased a sleek and modern aesthetic, featuring distinctive features like a long, low bonnet, a sloping roofline, and prominent flush-mounted headlights. While the exterior design was bold and distinctive, the interior was equally impressive, offering a luxurious and well-appointed cabin with high-quality materials and an emphasis on driver comfort.
The 164 was available with a range of powerful engines, including 2.0 and 3.0-liter V6 petrol units, and a 2.9-liter turbocharged V6 diesel. These engines were paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission, delivering spirited performance and a refined driving experience. The 164 was also lauded for its handling and roadholding, thanks to its advanced suspension system and precise steering. Despite its relatively short production run, the 164 left a lasting impression on the automotive landscape, establishing itself as a stylish and capable executive saloon that showcased the enduring spirit of Alfa Romeo.
