The Alfa Romeo 145 and 146 were compact hatchback models produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo from 1994 to 2001. They marked a departure from traditional Alfa Romeo styling, adopting a more modern and angular design language penned by the renowned designer, Walter de Silva. Both models shared a common platform, the Tipo 932, which also underpinned the Fiat Bravo/Brava, Lancia Dedra, and other models. The 145, introduced in 1994, was the sportier of the two, featuring a more dynamic exterior with a sloping roofline and a prominent rear spoiler. The 146, launched in 1995, offered a more practical and spacious interior with a more upright roofline. Both cars were available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, including the legendary 1.6-liter Twin Spark and the powerful 1.8-liter turbocharged engine. The 145 and 146 were also notable for their excellent handling and driving dynamics, thanks in part to their independent suspension system and a sophisticated steering setup.


Despite their innovative design and performance capabilities, the 145 and 146 faced challenges in the marketplace. Their relatively high price point and perceived lack of reliability, coupled with strong competition from other European manufacturers, hindered their sales success. Nevertheless, the Alfa Romeo 145 and 146 remain popular among enthusiasts for their engaging driving experience, stylish design, and unique character. These models are often appreciated for their distinctiveness compared to the more generic compact hatchbacks of the era, offering a touch of Italian flair and performance. The 145, in particular, is often considered a cult classic by Alfa Romeo enthusiasts, due to its sporty aesthetic and limited production run. While the 145 and 146 may be overshadowed by some of Alfa Romeo's more iconic models, they represent a significant period of innovation and design for the Italian marque, showcasing the brand's commitment to performance and style.
