Next-Gen Jeep Wrangler’s Engine Maybe a Four Cylinder

Posted on May 10, 2016 by baysideadmin

A new rumor on the engine in the next-generation Jeep Wrangler shows FCA trying to find the balance between what the drivers want and what is possible with new fuel efficiency standards.

Automotive News released today a rumor about the new engine that will be possibly be an option for the upcoming new Jeep Wrangler. The engine is a new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine code-named Hurricane. Automotive News was told by a source what to expect from this new engine. It will feature a “direct-injected inline-four with variable valve timing and a twin-scroll turbocharger.” The Hurricane engine will also be an aluminum block and is expected to be 300 horsepower.

More information backing this up is an investment FCA made in April. They put 75 million into their Trenton Engine Complex to start production on a new four-cylinder engine, like the one described above. The plant had been making the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 previously.

Sergio Marchionne, FCA’s CEO, had also made previously statements that make the Hurricane engine seem like the truth. He had said that the Wrangler would be needing an optional four-cylinder for its new eight-speed auto transmission.

Do you know the hidden features in your purchase? For new Jeep buyers, there’s plenty of unwritten rules that go beyond the equipment and exterior included in the purchase. DirtRoadTrip.com put together a list of ’10 Things They Never Tell You About Owning a Jeep.’

You’re Going to Get Wet:

The 9^th on their list is the notion that you’re going to get wet in the driver seat. That’s because it’s impossible to not want to put all that jibber-jabber about the Jeep’s off-road to the test. Inevitably, in that curiosity, is going to come the chance to take the Jeep through the mud and water. When that finally happens, just make sure that you bring an dry pair of pants to change into.

The Jeep Wave:

This is a phenom that has been on-going for sometime now. When you buy a Jeep, you don’t just get an award-winning, highly-capable vehicle, you’re also being inducted into a membership. The Jeep Wave is the unofficial salute given among Jeep drivers.

Tackle Any Weather Problem:

New York just had one of the biggest snowstorms in its history. After the snow subsided and it was time to get the city back to work, it’s a safe bet it was the Jeeps leading the charge. Case in point; remember that snowboarding through the streets of New York video that went viral? Did you notice what they were driving? *Jeep Wave*
