MSRP:$40,000 – $46,000
The 2008–2009 Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 2.4 JTDM 20v combines the practicality of a five-door wagon with a powerful 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-five diesel engine. It develops 207 hp at 4,000 rpm and 295 lb-ft of torque at 1,500 rpm, with a six-speed manual transmission driving the front wheels. With a 142 mph top speed and 8.0-second 0–60 mph time, it offers strong performance alongside the long-distance efficiency expected from a diesel-powered Sportwagon.
The wagon seats five and provides 15.7 to 43.6 cubic feet of luggage space, while its chassis uses double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension. The engine features DOHC 20-valve technology and common-rail injection, with a transverse front-mounted layout. A listed 34.1 mpg combined economy and 629-mile range add touring practicality to a version that stands out for its strong five-cylinder character and substantial torque.
