Safety

Safety first and foremost. Alfa Romeo protects you every time you get behind the wheel, with an efficient system of active and passive safety equipment.

The Alfa 147 is impeccable on the road. Take its braking for example, which counts on the high torsional and bending rigidity of the chassis, working in synergy with the front “double wishbone “quadrilateral” suspension, with a McPherson independent system at the rear. A servo-assisted hydraulic braking system uses discs on all four corners, ventilated at the front and solid at the rear. Two independent crossed circuits ensure control even in the unlikely event of a fault.

The sophisticated, interactive electronic devices include ABS, EBD, ASR , VDC with ASR, MSR and Brake Assist. (Please note that VDC with ASR is standard on 1.9 JTDM 16v and 2.0 Twin Spark versions and available as an option on all other Lusso versions).

The passenger cabin has a non-deformable structure, and is designed as a survival cell, protected by anti-penetration bars and crumple zones to absorb impacts.

There are six airbags as standard : driver and passenger front airbags, two side airbags housed in the sides of the seats and two window airbags housed in the roof lining which protect the front and rear passengers. The front passenger airbag can be deactivated if a child seat is fitted. There is also a FPS Fire Prevention System which automatically cuts of the fuel supply in the event of a serious impact instantly.
