I had this engine on my '23 Wrangler. Great power, no issues here. Good fuel efficiency. Was averaging about 19 overall, 25 highway. The major drawback for me was the sound. It sounds like a countertop appliance.
I absolutely love this engine. I'm driving a brick, and if the wind gods are with me, I can get 27 mpg on my rubicon on 33s. If the wind gods dont favor me, 13. 😂
The lack of a V8 engine is going to put a big hurt on Stellantis American brand vehicles. Especially the Dodge Ram brand~ Maybe they can modularize and make a V8 out of this engine design. A light boost 4.0 liter 32 valve V8 with 450 hp would be a winner.
We just bought a 24 Wrangler. Test drove the 2.0 and HATED it, Sounded like a cross between a singer sewing machine and a blender, and the lag is horrible. Luckily both my wife and I wanted a manual (difficult to find on a lot) so we got the 3.6 6 speed and love it. And still pretty good on fuel economy, averaging 22 MPG on the highway, and we live in the mountains, so lots of uphill.
Jmc6000, you are right. Stellantis needs to remove Carlos Taveres from the helm. It's really a shame what happened to Sergio Marchionne. I think with the merger that became FCA, he was turning Chrysler around for the better. Now, they are back on the wrong track once again.
Worst engineered engine on the planet when the thermostat goes bad and they all do you got to pull the whole body off the frame😂 and you can't even check the oil😂
Fiat, Peugeot and Renault all wiped out in the US years ago. In my opinion, normal Americans just weren't into euro-tech engines and designs. While European designs favor compact form factor and high efficiency, Americans just won't sacrifice rugged durability to save a few bucks or park in a smaller space. Simply put, in Europe very few people drive the long distances or stretch their service intervals like Americans commonly do. European car taxes and driving styles are very different than here in America, so naturally their cars are different. I might add that European parts are also likely cheaper in Europe. Sadly, Stellates hasn't learned anything from the past. Rather than build rugged and durable American designed cars and engines in America and export them, they insist on trying to sneak more of their euro-tech car and engine designs into the USA disguised as Chrysler Corp products. I predict that Stellates will soon go the way of Smart Car in America.

You are not wrong on the sound part
I guess i just don't understand why anyone cares about the sound. 🤷♂️
Appreciate the honest review of the engine!
This is the same guy that destroyed a Samsung recalled washer. LEGEND 😂😂

Everyone is losing their V8s in order to meet CAFE requirements.
