2006–2008 Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 1.9 JTDM 8v Specs & Performance

For 2006–2008, the Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 1.9 JTDM 8v offered a practical alternative to the 159 sedan while retaining the model's distinctive Italian character. Its 1.9-liter turbocharged inline-four diesel produces 118 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque, with a six-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels. The result is modest but usable performance, including a 120 mph top speed and 10.4-second 0–60 mph time, while the SOHC 8-valve engine uses common-rail diesel injection.

The Sportwagon layout adds useful versatility, with 15.7–43.6 cubic feet of luggage space and room for five occupants. A double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear setup help give the car a composed road-going character, while its 3,527-pound curb weight reflects the substantial construction of the 159. With quoted combined economy of 39.2 mpg, this version is particularly suited to drivers looking for a practical, economical Alfa Romeo wagon rather than outright performance.
