2008–2010 Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD 8v Specs & Performance

The 2008–2010 Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD 8V is a first-generation compact hatchback with a 1.9-liter turbocharged inline-four diesel engine. It produces 118 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque, with a five-speed manual transmission driving the front wheels. The five-door, five-seat configuration gives this diesel 147 a practical layout, while the transverse engine and compact dimensions suit everyday urban and road use.

Rather than chasing outright performance, this version focuses on usable diesel torque and balanced everyday capability. Peak torque arrives at 2,000 rpm, while the car reaches 120 mph and 0–60 mph in 9.3 seconds. Its 2,965-lb curb weight, 100.2-inch wheelbase, double-wishbone front suspension, and multi-link rear suspension give the 147 a well-rounded chassis for commuting and longer drives.
