The 2008–2010 Alfa Romeo 159 1.9 JTDM 8v is a front-wheel-drive sedan powered by a 1.9-liter turbocharged inline-four diesel engine. It produces 118 hp at 4,000 rpm and 207 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 rpm, with a six-speed manual transmission. AutoSpecsHub lists a 120 mph top speed, with acceleration of 10.4 seconds from 0–60 mph and 10.7 seconds from 0–62 mph, giving this diesel-powered 159 a useful balance of everyday performance and strong low-rev torque.
The engine uses SOHC 8-valve technology and common-rail fuel injection, while the chassis combines double-wishbone front suspension with a multi-link rear arrangement. The four-door sedan seats five and provides 14.3 cubic feet of luggage space. With 39.9 mpg combined economy and a listed 737-mile range, the 1.9 JTDM 8v is particularly well suited to longer-distance driving while retaining the distinctive styling and road-focused character of the Alfa Romeo 159.
