Allpar.com is an FCA vehicle fan site with sources inside the company. For many months, Allpar and other sites have been speculating about what will replace the Pentastar minivan V6 used in current Jeep and other FCA brands. The most likely replacement is a turbocharged four cylinder gasoline engine, a design that will be used in many FCA brands worldwide.
Allpar's update on the subject says the four cylinder will be 2.0L, and be offered in two states of tune. The engine for the Wrangler is expected to produce 300 hp.
New to the speculative report is a turbocharged six cylinder designed to replace the 5.7L V8 in the Grand Cherokee and Ram pickups. This engine may eventually appear in some Wrangler models, including the pickup variant. The 5.7L V8 produces 400 hp in these vehicles, so I expect the new turbo six to produce a little more hp. Hopefully the six will also pump out 400+ ft lb of torque, matching the torque of the 5.7L V8.
The inline 6 is reported to be only a little longer than the four cylinder. Maybe this is why in spy photos the new Wrangler looks to have a hood that's a little longer than the current model.
