Jeep Wagoneer is rumored to be the first to get inline-Six 500-HP new

Stellantis’ new 3.0-liter inline-six twin-turbocharged engine has been dubbed the Hurricane and could soon make it into the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer as the optional $2000.

The Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are rumored to use Stellantis’ new straight-line six-cylinder engine, dubbed the Hurricane.
The high-power version of the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine is expected to produce 500 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque.
The owner’s manual and screenshots from Jeep’s configuration are intended to reveal traction specifications and prices for this new engine option.

Stellantis recently unveiled a new inline six-engine called the Hurricane, and it looks like the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer will be among the first models to use this new powertrain. TFLTruck.com found a modified owner’s manual for wagoneer and the 2022 Grand Wagoneer listing traction specifications for the new 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine, while journalist Gary Gastelu tweeted a screenshot of Jeep’s online configuration that briefly showed the inline-six as a $2000 Option (it was removed from Jeep’s website).

If we put all this evidence together with Stellantis’s claims about hurricane engines, we can surmise that the Jeep Grand Wagoneer will soon offer a high-power version of the series-six alongside the standard 6.4-liter V-8 engine. The Hurricane engine announced 500 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque beating the 471 hp and 455 pound-feet of the large V-8. The less expensive wagoneer can use the lower-output version of the new Number Six series, which has 400 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. Wagoneer currently offers a 5.7-liter 392 hp V-8 engine with an eTorque hybrid system.

The owner’s manual shows that the 3.0L models provide a maximum traction of 10,000 pounds when equipped with rear-wheel drive and a towing package. This is in line with Wagoneer’s maximum rating of 5.7L.

Stellantis has previously said that the Hurricane can break into any of its products with vertical engines, so this could just be the beginning of the popularity of this new powertrain throughout the entire lineup. We think it will eventually replace the Hemi V-8s currently used in Ram trucks, Jeep SUVs and many other products.
