The Alfa Romeo 147 (Type 937) is a small family car produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo from 2000 to 2010.^[3] The 147 was voted European Car of the Year in 2001.

The 147 was launched at the Turin Motor Show in June 2000 as a replacement for the Alfa Romeo 145 and 146 hatchbacks, and is based on the running gear of the larger 156 saloon. It was sold with 1.6, 2.0, and 3.2 litre petrol engines, and a 1.9 litre diesel engine. A sequential, paddle operated 'Selespeed' transmission was available from launch. The earliest vehicle identification number of the 147 is dated 22 April 2000.^[4]

Two trim levels were available, Turismo and Lusso. The 147 was the first Alfa Romeo to have dual zone climate control and electronic traction control. The model was in production for ten years, making it one of the oldest small family cars on sale in Europe at the time of its replacement by the Alfa Romeo Giulietta in the end of May 2010. In total, around 580,000 cars were made.

Styling[edit]

The 147 was designed by Walter de'Silva and Wolfgang Egger. The 147 received praise for its styling on launch, later it won styling awards. The 147 range was revamped in 2004, with the exterior styling changed to resemble the new 159 and Brera models, and Alfa Romeo Visconticoncept car. The 147 had a drag coefficient (C_d) of 0.32.^[5]

Launch[edit]

During 1999, Alfa Romeo confirmed that it would soon be replacing its 145/146 hatchbacks with an all new model, which was unveiled as the 147 at the Turin Motor Show in June 2000, with the first customers taking delivery of their cars in October 2000 on the markets for left hand drive, and the right hand drive versions for the United Kingdom going on sale within a month later. Shortly after its launch, it was voted European Car of the Year, narrowly beating the new Ford Mondeo to the accolade.^[6]

Development[edit]

The 147 was facelifted in the end of 2004: new front grille, new headlights, new rear lights and the interior was changed on all models besides the GTA version. A more powerful diesel engine arrived and suspension was also tweaked.

In 2006, the 147 1.9 JTD Q2 version was launched, with a front Torsen limited slip differential. Alfa Romeo presented a new limited edition 147 called Ducati Corse at the 2007 Bologna Motor Show. The car had a JTD diesel engine and Q2, a front Torsen limited slip differential.^[7]

The 147 was replaced by the Giulietta in May 2010.

Connect is an on board information system: an on board telematic system located in the central console that via its 5 in (130 mm) monitor gave access to satellite navigation and hands free GSM phone as well as allowing the user to adjust radio and CD player settings. If subscribed to the CONNECT system, by simply pressing a green button, the user was connected directly to a member of the service team for assistance.

Reception[edit]

The handling of 147 was praised in some reviews, in spite of criticism regarding the light (sensitive) steering, which makes some drivers feel less involved. However, light steering does help during parking maneuvers. Other criticisms of the 147 included a cumbersome gearshift, unsupportive seats and the lack of interior space compared to its rivals.

The car was noted for its engine pleasant engine note. The 147 suffers from fairly poor resale value in Great Britain.^[10]

The 147 GTA and 147 Autodelta GTA have been road tested by Jeremy Clarkson, and featured on television show Top Gear, with a power lap around the track by The Stig.^[11] In his review of Autodelta 147 GTA car for The Sunday Times, Clarkson described the acceleration as 'Ferrari throttle? Forget it. When you stamp on the accelerator it's like you've hit the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive.

Suddenly all the stars are fluorescent tubes' and the handling as '...A corner was coming. And then it was a distant speck in my rear view mirror. I vaguely remember turning the wheel and I have a dim recollection of being astounded by the grip...and then the moment was gone. No, really, the damn thing is a barnacle...'.^[12]

The Alfa Romeo 147 won over twenty awards^[13] including:
