MSRP:$39,000 – $45,000
The 2008–2009 Alfa Romeo 159 2.4 JTDM 20v combines the elegant character of the 159 with a strong turbocharged diesel powertrain. Its 2.4-liter inline-five produces 207 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive. With a 144 mph top speed and 7.8-second 0–60 mph time, it delivers strong performance while the generous torque output makes the car particularly well suited to highway driving and long-distance use.
The four-door 159 seats five and offers 14.3 cubic feet of luggage space, giving it useful everyday practicality alongside its performance. The engine uses common-rail fuel delivery, DOHC and 20 valves, while the chassis features double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension. Its 34.6 mpg combined economy and 639-mile range further strengthen its appeal as a capable and efficient diesel sedan.
