1998–2001 Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 JTD 8v Specs & Performance

The 1998–2001 Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 JTD 8v is an early first-generation version of Alfa Romeo's distinctive medium sedan, combining its elegant Italian design with a turbocharged diesel powertrain. The 1.9-liter inline-four produces 104 hp and 188 lb-ft of torque, giving this entry-level diesel a useful emphasis on low-rev pulling power. A five-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive complete the straightforward drivetrain.

This version is particularly well suited to drivers who value efficiency and relaxed everyday usability. AutoSpecsHub lists 40.6 mpg combined fuel economy, while the 156's balanced chassis and practical four-door layout retain the engaging character associated with Alfa Romeo. With its relatively modest output and strong torque, the 1.9 JTD 8v offers a sensible diesel alternative within the early 156 range.
