2010–2012 Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 2.0 JTDM 16v 136 Specs & Performance

The 2010–2012 Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 2.0 JTDM 16v 136 combines the 159's distinctive styling with a more efficiency-focused diesel powertrain. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four produces 134 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, sending power to the front wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. With a 126 mph top speed and 9.6-second 0–60 mph acceleration, it offers solid everyday performance, while common-rail injection, DOHC technology and a 16-valve layout support its diesel efficiency.

As a Sportwagon, practicality remains central to the package, with seating for five and a useful cargo area that expands considerably when the rear seats are folded. The car weighs 3,450 pounds, uses double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension, and returns a quoted 46.1 mpg combined with an estimated 853-mile range. That combination makes the 136-hp JTDM a particularly sensible version of the 159 Sportwagon for drivers who value long-distance economy without giving up Alfa Romeo's character.
