The 2007–2008 Alfa Romeo 159 2.4 JTDM 20v Q4 combines a powerful turbocharged diesel engine with the added traction of all-wheel drive. Its 2.4-liter inline-five produces 207 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The combination gives the 159 Q4 a listed 140 mph top speed and 8.1-second 0–60 mph time, while the substantial torque output provides strong mid-range performance for a large sedan.
The four-door 159 offers seating for five and 14.3 cubic feet of luggage space, while its chassis uses double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension. The common-rail diesel engine uses DOHC and 20 valves, and its 31.4 mpg combined economy gives the Q4 a useful balance between performance and fuel efficiency. With permanent all-wheel drive and its distinctive Italian styling, this version stands out as one of the more capable diesel variants in the 159 range.
