Packed with Italian spirit, the new Alfa Romeo 159 is a car that challenges the German manufacturers for quality and performance. Sporting Alfa's typically sleek body styling and elegant profile, it is an attractive option that is sure to turn heads.

There are three engines to choose from including a high-performance petrol option and two strong diesel units that will get you from 0-60mph in 9 seconds. The diesels are economical too, averaging more than 50mpg. With neat handling and sharp steering, the Alfa 159 is responsive to drive and wind noise is kept to a minimum on the open road.

You won't be short of space in the Alfa Romeo 159. There is plenty of head and legroom in the front and rear meaning four tall adults will be comfortable even on longer journeys. The boot is generous as well, with 405 litres of luggage space. The cabin is sturdily built and with plush materials; it looks smart.

Safety equipment on the Alfa 159 is comprehensive. Stability control and front, side and curtain airbags are standard and front head restraints protect you from whiplash injuries. Awarded a maximum five-star score in Euro NCAP crash tests, it's well equipped to keep you safe and there are plenty of security features to keep your valuables secure.

Entry level models come with alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control and four electric windows. Kit gets more impressive as you move up through the trim levels, with Turismo models receiving Bluetooth connectivity and cruise control. Step up a spec and Lusso models offer unique interior trim, a Visibility Pack and sports dials. The top trim, the TI, is equipped with sports suspension and 19-inch alloys.
