The Alfa Romeo 145 and 146 were a pair of compact hatchbacks produced by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo from 1994 to 2000. They were the successors to the Alfa Romeo 33 and were designed by the Centro Stile Alfa Romeo under the direction of Walter de Silva. The 145 and 146 shared a platform that was derived from the Fiat Tipo, but with significant modifications to improve handling and performance. They were the first Alfa Romeos to feature a transverse engine layout, which allowed for a more spacious interior and a lower center of gravity. The 145 was distinguished by its distinctive three-door body style, while the 146 offered a more conventional five-door configuration. Both models were praised for their sharp styling, engaging driving experience, and relatively affordable price point.
Despite their strong initial reception, the 145 and 146 faced challenges in the marketplace. Their somewhat spartan interior and the perception of unreliability, stemming from the shared platform with Fiat, limited their appeal to a wider audience. Nevertheless, they remained popular among enthusiasts who appreciated their sporty handling and unique character. The 145 and 146 were offered with a variety of four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, ranging from 1.4 to 1.9 liters in displacement. Some models also featured a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, offering impressive performance for their class. While production ceased in 2000, a dedicated following has kept these Alfa Romeos alive, with a thriving aftermarket scene and a community of enthusiasts who continue to appreciate their sporty heritage and unique design.
