The Alfa Romeo 145 and 146 were compact hatchbacks produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo from 1994 to 2000. These models marked a significant departure from Alfa Romeo's traditional rear-wheel-drive offerings, embracing a front-wheel-drive platform shared with the Fiat Tipo. Both the 145 and 146 were designed by the renowned Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, with the 145 adopting a more youthful and sporty aesthetic, featuring distinctive angular lines and a large front grille. In contrast, the 146 sported a more rounded and conservative design, aimed at a broader customer base. Both cars were underpinned by a robust and sophisticated suspension system, offering a comfortable and responsive ride.
Under the hood, the 145 and 146 were available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, delivering a blend of performance and fuel efficiency. The petrol lineup included the 1.4L, 1.6L, 1.8L, and 2.0L Twin Spark engines, with the latter offering a spirited driving experience. Meanwhile, the diesel options encompassed the 1.7L and 1.9L TD units, providing economical transportation. Inside the cabin, both models presented a driver-focused cockpit, with ergonomically designed instruments and controls. The 145 and 146 were praised for their handling prowess, comfortable interiors, and distinct Italian styling, solidifying their position as popular choices in the compact hatchback segment. Despite their relatively short production run, the 145 and 146 remain highly sought after by Alfa Romeo enthusiasts, offering a blend of style, practicality, and performance at an affordable price.
