Furthermore, a extending from left to right fabric tape, suitable, integrated to the chosen color of the interior on the dashboard, which further enhances the interior. The entire dashboard was better filled with foam to reduce the squeaking and rattling noises on.

Under the body of the Alfa 145 was modified considerably in parallel with the Fiat Tipo, to improve crashworthiness. The Fiat Tipo had scored a devastating result in the then newly launched NCAP crash test, so the front section of the underbody has been significantly strengthened in order to achieve a better crash performance. All vehicles based on the Fiat received these changes also, as well as the Alfa 145 This is the curb weight of the vehicles increased significantly.
