The 2005–2007 Alfa Romeo 159 2.4 JTDM 20v combines the 159's distinctive Italian styling with a strong turbocharged diesel powertrain. Its 2.4-liter inline-five produces 197 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive. With a listed 142 mph top speed and 8.1-second 0–60 mph time, the 159 delivers strong performance while retaining the relaxed character expected from a torque-rich diesel engine.
As a four-door sedan, it seats five and provides 14.3 cubic feet of luggage space. The engine uses common-rail injection, DOHC and 20 valves, while the chassis combines double-wishbone front suspension with a multi-link rear setup. Its 34.6 mpg combined economy and 639-mile range give the 2.4 JTDM a useful balance of performance, efficiency and long-distance practicality.
