Alfa Romeo introduced the last facelift for the aging 33 model in 1990 and named it Series II, or "Nuova," improving the vehicle both inside and outside.

Even for the Italians, it was hard to hide the age of the 33 lineup. Yet, they tried hard and created a vehicle that could not only outperform its predecessor but also look up to date, even though it was based on a car launched in 1983. But Alfa Romeo was not exactly in the financial situation to completely replace the vehicle and had to keep the 33 on the market for another five years until 1995, when it introduced the 145/146 lineup.

With a new front fascia that showed tilted and redesigned headlights and a body-colored rim around the grille, the 1990 33 looked like it was fresh on the market. On its profile, the carmaker added redesigned door mirrors that matched the car's color. Yet, the flush door handles were left black, unpainted. Depending on the version, a small wing was added to the trunk at the back.

Another major improvement was on the inside, where Alfa Romeo improved not only the materials' quality but also redesigned the entire dashboard. Also, the center stack featured dials instead of sliders for the HVAC system. Depending on the options, the car also sported leather upholstery, power windows and locks, and a cassette player.

Under the hood, the most significant upgrade was for the 1.7-liter boxer engine that offered up to 132 hp (133 PS). It was also available with an all-wheel drive system.
