2001–2002 Alfa Romeo 166 2.4 JTD 8v Specs & Performance

The 2001–2002 Alfa Romeo 166 2.4 JTD 8v brought Alfa Romeo’s distinctive character into the executive diesel-sedan class. Its 2.4-liter five-cylinder JTD turbodiesel delivered strong low-end torque while retaining the smooth, long-legged character expected of a large Alfa Romeo. With 140 PS and 305 Nm, it was capable of reaching 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds, making this diesel 166 more than just a comfortable long-distance cruiser.

The combination of front-wheel drive, a six-speed manual gearbox, and the 166’s sophisticated suspension gave the car a more engaging character than its size might suggest. The 166 also offered a spacious cabin and a 490-liter luggage compartment, making the 2.4 JTD 8v a particularly appealing choice for drivers who wanted executive-car comfort without giving up Alfa Romeo’s distinctive personality.
