The 2005–2008 Alfa Romeo 159 1.9 JTDM 8v is a front-wheel-drive sedan powered by a 1.9-liter turbocharged inline-four diesel engine. Producing 118 hp at 4,000 rpm and 207 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 rpm, it uses a six-speed manual transmission and common-rail fuel injection. AutoSpecsHub lists a 119 mph top speed and 10.6-second 0–60 mph time, giving this diesel 159 a balanced combination of usable performance and strong low-speed pulling power.
The four-door sedan seats five and offers 14.3 cubic feet of luggage space. Its chassis combines double-wishbone front suspension with a multi-link rear arrangement, while the 8-valve engine uses a SOHC layout and transverse front mounting. With a listed 39.2 mpg combined economy and an 18.5-gallon fuel tank, the 1.9 JTDM 8v is well suited to longer-distance driving while retaining the distinctive styling and handling character of the Alfa Romeo 159.
