Alfa 159

Engines Overview

The Alfa 159 comes with a choice of five engines, three petrol and two diesel units.

All three petrol engines, a 1.8 MPI with 140bhp, a 2.2 16v with 185bhp and a 3.2 V6 24v with 260bhp, employ state of the art direct injection technology and variable valve timing on both inlet and exhaust camshafts. This technology enables both performance and emissions to be optimised without the need for compromise.

Engine2 The two diesel units, a 1.9 16v with 150bhp and a 2.4 20v which now produces 210bhp, both use second generation common-rail injection systems, known as JTDM. This allows multiple injections of fuel over the cycle to reduce noise and emissions and improve driveability and fuel consumption. Combined with variable geometry turbochargers for further drivability benefits and with a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) as standard for ensuring the cleanest possible exhaust, the Alfa 159 diesel engines are truly cutting edge.
