2009–2010 Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD 16v Specs & Performance

The 2009–2010 Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD 16V belongs to the first-generation 147 and is powered by a 1.9-liter turbocharged inline-four diesel engine producing 168 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered through a six-speed manual transmission to the front wheels. With five doors and five seats, this compact hatchback combines everyday practicality with strong diesel performance, while its transverse engine layout keeps the front-wheel-drive powertrain compact.

This version delivers notably strong performance for a compact diesel hatchback. It reaches a 134-mph top speed and accelerates from 0–60 mph in 7.7 seconds, while its 243 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 rpm provides substantial pulling power through the lower and mid-range. The 100.2-inch wheelbase, FWD configuration, and five-door body maintain the 147's everyday usability while complementing its more powerful diesel engine.
