The 2005–2008 Alfa Romeo 159 1.9 JTDM 16v is a front-wheel-drive sedan powered by a 1.9-liter turbocharged inline-four diesel engine. It produces 148 hp at 4,000 rpm and 236 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 rpm, with a six-speed manual transmission. With a 130 mph top speed and 9.1-second 0–60 mph time, the 159 1.9 JTDM 16v delivers strong low-end pulling power while maintaining respectable performance for a diesel-powered family sedan.
Its chassis combines double-wishbone front suspension with a multi-link rear setup, while the engine uses DOHC 16-valve technology and common-rail fuel injection. The four-door cabin seats five, with 14.3 cubic feet of luggage capacity, and the car is rated at 39.2 mpg combined with a listed 725-mile range. This combination of torque, efficiency and the 159's distinctive Italian styling makes the 1.9 JTDM 16v a well-rounded diesel variant.
