The 2005–2008 Alfa Romeo 159 3.2 JTS V6 24v Q4 is the all-wheel-drive performance flagship of the early 159 range, pairing a naturally aspirated 3.2-liter V6 with a six-speed manual transmission. The engine produces 256 hp and 237 lb-ft of torque, giving the four-door sedan a 149 mph top speed and a brisk 6.8-second 0–60 mph time. Its AWD system and sophisticated chassis help give the 159 a confident character while retaining the distinctive Italian styling that defines the model.
Despite its performance focus, the Q4 remains a practical five-seat sedan with 14.3 cubic feet of luggage space. The chassis uses double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension, with vented front and solid rear disc brakes. Fuel economy is listed at 21 mpg combined, while the 3.2-liter V6 uses direct-style multi-point fuel delivery, a DOHC 24-valve configuration, and a transverse front-engine layout.
