Alfa 159 Sportwagon

Engines Overview

Alfa Romeo has introduced brand new Euro 5–compliant engines for the Alfa 159 range. These two high technology petrol and diesel engines introduce a combination of increased torque and power with lower emissions and greater fuel efficiency.

Engine2 1750i TBi 200 BHP Turbo Petrol Engine
From a standstill, the 1750 TBi Alfa 159 can reach the 0 – 62 mph benchmark in 7.7 seconds, before topping out at 147 mph. However it is the flexibility of the in–gear acceleration that sets the engine apart from its competitors; with 25 – 62 mph in fifth gear achievable in 11.5 seconds and 37 – 62 mph in sixth gear reached in just 8.9 seconds – this translates, in real world driving, to a more sporting driver experience consistent with a ‘flat’ torque curve and a constant delivery of power – perfect for confident overtaking and long distance driving.

2.0 JTDM 170 BHP Diesel Engine
Alfa’s new 2.0 JTDM powerplant develops 170 bhp available at just 4,000 rpm, and its advanced multijet technology means that this new 2.0 JTDM unit delivers its maximum torque of 360 Nm between just 1750 rpm and 2500 rpm. Significantly, the new 2.0 JTDM powered Alfa 159 covers the 0 – 62 mph sprint in just 8.8 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 136 mph. CO2 emissions have been reduced to just 142 g/km.
