What is the Alfa Romeo Milano?
Milano was the name Alfa Romeo used in the United States for its 75 saloon. The car gave the brand’s North American range a compact, four-door sporting saloon, while retaining the 75 name in other markets.
The 75 used rear-wheel drive and a rear-mounted transaxle, which combines the gearbox and differential at the back of the car. This layout was a defining feature of the model.
Generation and engines
The Milano corresponds to one generation: the Alfa Romeo 75, Type 162B, sold in the United States from 1987 to 1989. US versions had petrol engines from 2.5 to 3.0 litres, and the EPA figures cover six versions in that range.
The EPA figures do not state power outputs. The 75’s engine range included four-cylinder and V6 petrol options, alongside its rear-wheel-drive layout and rear transaxle.
Official fuel consumption and CO₂
US EPA figures cover six petrol versions from 1987 to 1989. The best combined rating is 19 MPG, with the lowest stated consumption at 12.4 L/100 km on the EPA test. The figures do not state CO₂ values.
EPA results use a different procedure from European WLTP or NEDC figures and Canada’s five-cycle test, so consumption figures from these markets are not directly comparable.
Where was the Milano sold?
Alfa Romeo used the Milano name in the United States; in other markets, the same model was called the 75. The US figures describe its North American versions and their petrol engine range.
