ALFA Romeo has changed specification and pricing of some models as part of a 1% pan-European price increase. Changes include alloy wheels as standard on the 156 1.6 and 1.8 Twin Spark versions, while the 166 receives standard 17-inch alloys on 2.5 and 3.0-litre models.

The firm insists key models in the range will not have price increases, but changes include the 156 1.6 Lusso rising from £15,370.73 to £15,525, for the 1.8 Veloce and £18,520.90 to £18,690 for the 2.4 JTD Lusso.
