Alfa Romeo 147 2006 UAE Prices & Specs

The 147 is an elegant and sporty little number. The redesigned-for-2005 147 gets a new front end that gives it a more streamlined look, and more in line with the new corporate look of Alfa Romeo. The aesthetics of the Alfa 147 includes eye catching details such as three air intakes at the front divided by three vertical elements, wheels flush with the body in gently bulging wheel arches, rear handles that virtually blend into the body, all contribute to achieve a mixture of soft lines and dynamic edges. Power comes from a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder "Twin Spark" engine, with the choice of a manual or Selespeed automanual. Unlike many automatic gearboxes with manual options, the Selespeed is a real manual transmission without a clutch. You change gear by flicking the gear knob back and forth or by using the paddles behind the wheel. Features include 16-inch alloy wheels, leather upholstery, ABS, traction control, sunroof, front, side and window airbags, auto air-conditioning, radio/CD player and dynamic stability control. Options include 17-inch alloy wheels, as well as a choice between three and five doors.
