2002–2003 Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon 2.4 JTD 8v Specs & Performance

The 2002–2003 Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon 2.4 JTD 8v combines the practicality of a five-door wagon with the strong low-end character of Alfa Romeo's turbocharged diesel engine. Its 2.4-liter inline-five produces 148 hp and 225 lb-ft of torque, giving the Sportwagon substantial pulling power while the five-speed manual transmission and front-wheel-drive layout keep the driving experience straightforward.

The strong torque makes this version well suited to everyday driving and longer journeys, while the Sportwagon body adds useful flexibility without losing the distinctive character of the 156. With a 132 mph top speed, 9.1-second 0–60 mph time, and 34.6 mpg combined, it offers a convincing balance of performance, efficiency, and practical usability.
