Brand New Jeep Engine Coming Next Month

The rumor suggest Jeep will reveal its new inline-6 (internal code GME-T6) at the 2022 New York Worldwide Automobile Demonstrate in April. This new motor, rumored to be nicknamed “Twister,” will be the 1st inline-six from Jeep since the company’s famous 4.-liter device was changed in 2007. As a reminder, that motor was an AMC structure that lasted from 1964 by means of 2006, so this new device has a large amount to live up so.

Not a great deal is now known about this inline-6 in phrases of electrical power, but we suppose it will be comparable to Jeep’s scaled-down 5.7-liter V8, which provides anyplace from 357 to 392 hp. The Wagoneer lineup will be the very first cars to receive this new engine in a substantial output variety demanding premium gasoline. We expect a decrease output model later on that can run on regular 87 octane gas. Later on in this engine’s life cycle, it will come across use in a plug-in hybrid product beneath the 4xe nomenclature.
