The 2008–2009 Alfa Romeo 159 2.2 JTS 16v combines the elegant styling of the 159 with a naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline engine. Its 2.2-liter inline-four produces 182 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque, driving the front wheels through a six-speed transmission. The sedan reaches a listed 139 mph top speed, while its 0–62 mph time is 8.7 seconds, giving this naturally aspirated version a balanced blend of performance and everyday usability.
With four doors, seating for five and 14.3 cubic feet of luggage space, the 159 remains practical as a family sedan. The 2.2 JTS uses direct injection, DOHC and 16 valves, while the chassis combines double-wishbone front suspension with a multi-link rear arrangement. Its 25.6 mpg combined economy and 472-mile listed range round out a package that emphasizes smooth naturally aspirated performance, distinctive styling and everyday practicality.
