Don't get the people thinking Stellantis knows how to make a good engine just because yours didn't break. First year engine from a crap company... yeah that is a poor mans bet. The turbo alone will ensure it doesn't last to 2-300k miles like a good NA engine will. I wish Stellantis could make a decent Jeep engine, but they haven't and Jeep hasn't made a decent engine since the old AMC 4.0 that they didn't even develop it. I love Jeep and my Wrangler, but I hate Stellantis and Chrysler for what they've done to Jeep. Rugged and reliable turned into cheaper than Chinese quality with lots of garbage bling. Luxury vehicles my butt. What is luxurious about being stuck on the side of the road. EDIT: The engine is an Alpha-romeo engine and has been around since 2016 and that is great news. This is what Motor reviewer.com has to say about it: "The longevity pledge for the 2.0 GME Hurricane engines, no matter how hackneyed it sounds, is frequent oil changes and premium gas only. With proper maintenance, this 2.0L Turbo-four engine is capable of lasting up to 150k miles without major problems." That is a much better than Stellantis building something from scratch and tossing it in. Maybe I can finally get that 4dr Rubicon I've been waiting on.

Perfect engine for a jeep as long as the power curve is moderated. When your in a situation on steep rocks in 4 wheel low don't want a bunch of torque hitting suddenly from a turbocharger spooling up. The one advantage is as you go up to high altitude don't lose a bunch of power like the older 3.8 and 3.6 with 37-40 inch tires needed all the power could get. I live in Arizona we have mountains that go to 6-10k feet high. I would never buy a ecodiesel for one thing the power band is way too short with turbo lag. The emissions are a hassle to deal with all those sensors IMO the small 2.0 gas turbo gets the power of a diesel without the hassle of emissions.

The 3.6 V6, for all it's faults, at least has been around for a long time and is in a a lot of vehicles.

My 2022 2.0 with 6,000 miles is already in the shop for overheating. Service advisor said something about he just received a service bulletin about changing out the water pump.. WTF FCA?? I gotta pay for a rental, then they supposedly will reimburse me.....

It’s an Alfa design based on the one that’s in the Giulia. It has been a pretty darn good engine for them. Wouldn’t pick it over the simpler and older, more proven 3.6 but it would not be a deal breaker for me to get the 2L.

220ft/lbs of torque to the wheels(V6) vs 300ft/lbs at 3000rpm. 2.0 turbo wins all day.

I have this engine in a 2dr Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and I have never gotten 20 miles a hour and I don't drive fast. So the mileage varies.

only downside is they only do the 2.0 turbo in automatic - no manual transmission option :(
@PHIL_123 Жыл бұрын
True, reason is that when this engine was designed for the Alfa Giulia, a manual was never in the plans due to emission standards, coupled with the reduced demand for manuals in Europe. When Jeep adapted the engine for the Wrangler, cost benefits analysis probably showed it wasn't worth it... Sensible manufacturers these days..

Why not keep the V6 and put the turbo on the V6?
@larrys987910 ай бұрын
The 2.0 with a turbo performs well but…….the internet is filled with turbo maintenance issues. In spite of what the manufacturer says premium gas is a must. Frequent oil changes are also a must. The entire auto industry is headed towards 4 cylinder engines with turbos, so eventually that combination will be the norm.

I think its so interesting that TFL, mainly the son, has been recommending the V6 instead. Have you done a review on the V6 etorque? I would love to have the diesel instead but the ADBlue or Def is a downer to have to keep buying that crap to keep it running. I would still love a manual!

2.0L T is the only Wrangler for European export. It has plenty of power - don't believe anyone who claims V6 is more reliable. 2.0L is stronger, quieter, and a lot more fuel efficient (improves the range), it's also better at elevation, but it's a bit too explosive for rock crawling or towing - V6 as a truck engine is better in this regard. Unfortunately, the v6 with 8-speed auto comes with their disgusting eTorque system, that causes nothing but trouble (especially during cold season). My ESS on 2L turbo works smoothly, and cost-wise replacing a starter after 60K miles is nothing compared to dealing with the eTorque problems.

The thing with all these small powerful engines is i just can't see them lasting. The amount of stress to get power out of such a small block must be pretty crazy when you compare it to something like a land cruiser 4.2 straight 6.
