The ALFA ROMEO 156 (1998-06) 4DR SALOON 2.4 JTD 175 LUSSO REV 02 is a four-door diesel saloon, blending Italian styling with space for everyday driving. It sits in the compact executive class, appealing to buyers seeking something more distinctive than BMW 3 Series or Audi A4 rivals, without moving to a family car. With its strong diesel engine and composed road manners, the 156 suits commuters and couples or small families wanting long-distance travel, while its saloon boot handles shopping and luggage. The Lusso version adds an upmarket feel, and the car’s engaging character gives it more personality than many comfort-focused alternatives of its era.
