Inside Jeep’s New Hurricane 4 Turbo Engine – Power, Tech, and Efficiency

The all-new Hurricane 4 Turbo engine is a major milestone for Jeep, blending raw strength with modern efficiency in a way that feels both exciting and forward-thinking. This 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine is not just another addition to the lineup—it is a redefinition of power for the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Delivering 324 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, the Hurricane 4 Turbo pushes well beyond what most engines of its size can achieve.

What makes this engine truly impressive is its advanced engineering. It features Turbulent Jet Ignition technology—an innovation that creates a faster, cleaner, and more efficient combustion process. By igniting a small amount of fuel in a pre-chamber, it ensures a stronger and more complete burn, which translates to better fuel economy and lower emissions without sacrificing performance.

The Hurricane 4 Turbo also benefits from a variable geometry turbocharger, giving it instant torque and a confident surge of power across the rpm range. Drivers can expect 90% of peak torque between 2,600 and 5,600 rpm, which means strong acceleration whether they are cruising through the city or towing up to 6,200 pounds on an adventure.

Built in Dundee, Michigan, this powertrain highlights Stellantis’ continued investment in American engineering. It is efficient, powerful, and ready to deliver best-in-class range of 506 miles on a single tank. Jeep has taken a bold step forward, proving that downsizing an engine does not mean downsizing excitement.
