Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo has introduced two new Euro 5-compliant engines for its Alfa 159 range.

In addition, the company announced that the Alfa Brera and Alfa Spider will benefit from these parts later in the year.

The new Alfa Romeo 159 1750 TBi is lightweight and boasts variable valve timing, which brings "new levels of drivability to the Alfa 159 range".

"Perfectly complementing the current engine line-up, the new 16-valve, twin overhead camshaft 1742 cc petrol unit brings keen fuel efficiency to Alfa 159 Saloon and Sportwagon versions, along with lower CO2 emissions, down to 189 g/km," the manufacturer noted.

Furthermore, the new 2.0 JTDM powerplant develops 170 bhp available at just 4,000 rpm and boasts advance multijet technology.

To coincide with the launch of these, the firm has introduced a new range structure now featuring five trim levels – Turismo, Turismo Sport, Elegante, Lusso and TI.

In related news, Alfa Romeo celebrated its 99th birthday earlier this year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
