1999, 2000
MSRP:$8,500 – $11,000
The 1999–2000 Alfa Romeo 145 1.9 JTD belongs to the first-generation 145 and is powered by a 1.9-liter turbocharged inline-four diesel engine. It produces 103 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque, paired with a five-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive. The three-door, five-seat hatchback combines the practicality of a compact body with the strong low-speed torque of Alfa Romeo's JTD diesel technology.
The 1.9 JTD is particularly suited to drivers looking for economical everyday performance with useful pulling power. Its 115-mph top speed and 10.7-second 0–60 mph time are modest, but the 148 lb-ft torque output gives it a stronger low-end character than the naturally aspirated petrol versions. The front-wheel-drive layout and compact 100-inch wheelbase also keep the car easy to maneuver in urban and general road conditions.
