The 2003–2005 Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 JTD 8v is a first-generation diesel sedan built around Alfa Romeo's distinctive styling and a torque-focused turbocharged engine. Its 1.9-liter inline-four develops 113 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque, giving the 156 a useful combination of accessible performance and strong pulling power in everyday driving. The five-speed manual transmission and front-wheel-drive layout keep the drivetrain straightforward and familiar.
Fuel efficiency is one of this version's strongest qualities, with the live page listing 40.6 mpg combined. The 156 also maintains the balanced chassis and practical four-door layout that make it suitable for regular commuting and longer journeys. As a later 1.9 JTD 8v version, it offers a sensible blend of diesel efficiency, usable torque, and the distinctive character of the first-generation 156.
