The last compact hatchback from Alfa Romeo that had a number instead of a name was launched in 2000 at the Turin Motor Show. It was a true comeback in the compact-segment, replacing the 146.
While its predecessor was built only for five years but had different numbers for the three or five doors version, 145 and 146, respectively, the 147 came with the same name for its both versions. But, like its bigger and older brother, the 156, it featured a hidden door handle masked in the C-pillar for the rear doors.
The styling was one of the best advantages of the 147. Its design, signed by Walter de Silva, offered a new approach to the compact-class from the Italian car-maker. Its curved surfaces and arched roof were part of an attractive design that attracted more customers for the car.
Inside, the bucket-seats were mandatory for a sporty brand like Alfa Romeo. The instrument cluster had a racing inspiration, with three round clusters for the speedometer, the information system, and the tachometer. There was not too much room in the rear, due to the very thick front seats and the short wheelbase.
For the engine side, the Alfa Romeo 147 featured a choice of gasoline and turbo-diesel engines with power ranging from 105 hp to 170 hp. There was a 3.2-liter V6 for the GTA version that offered 250 hp, but that was available only for the 3-door version. The standard transmission offered was with a 5- or 6-speed manual, depending on the engine. An automated 5- or 6-speed gearbox, named Selespeed, was offered for specific models.
