The 2.0L engines used in the 4xe are also called "hurricane", to differentiate them from the "giorgio" version found in other Stellantis vehicles.

Hood does look longer, and the grill chin piece has a forward sweep as well. It's got potential and they need to do it.

Agreed. Current 4XE makes 470lb-ft of torque, so this may just bump that to an even 500 or something.

Looks legit to me, since Stellantis is all about the Hurricane inline 6. Wouldn't give up my 392 for one, but would be a great replacement for the V6. I had an inline 6 in my GMC Envoy & it was a great engine.

Good catch thanks for letting us know!

Hold the 4xE, just put the Hurricane in the JT.

When determining if a Jeep is a RH drive or not, look at the windshield wipers and how they flow. The flat edge for a RH will be to the right side of the car, and of course the opposite for LH drive. It is so it clears the most for the driver. That white one from Africa was RH drive. : )

Already heard about this engine months ago and anticipated it would migrate to Wrangler.

Like others said the base hurricane inline 6 400hp paired with the 4xe electric =~500hp. They need this for the 4xe gladiator to tow. So introduce first in the JL. Base 4xe with the 2.0 and lower the price, then provide this as an upgraded model to replace the 392.

Like what might be coming, I may buy!

I can't find it do you have contact info for your affiliate jeep dealer

Going to guess that hurricane 500 will be starting at the same price point as the 392. Though it may be over $100k if they force you to get the 4xe option on it.

The length of the hood is the same in relation to the gap to charging port and offset with the fender positioning. The pic is taken at an angle that makes ppl curious. Its impossible to fit the larger (I6) hurricane into the current gen both length wise and the height wise (need a larger scoop than 392). BTW, the existing 2.0 turbo is also a hurricane engine (same family) so the more plausible thing is that they came up with some minor bump in spec/tuning to the existing 4xe to make it purr out 500 lb ft of torque instead of 470 - and release is as minor update for 2025 refresh

Give me a 2dr bobbed bed gladiator with that hurricane TT and I'm in!

In line engines r my favorite...that's awesome if jeep wrangler r putting them in ...just like 4.0 in line six wrangler I had was a mule .

I'm holding out for the I6. Hoping I don't have to wait until '28.

I gotta stop commenting before I watch yes they need to do the 4xe wit the glad it needs the torque and hp man in a mojave

The diesel on the gladiator is the right setup, might not make 500 horse, but it packs the torque. Those images look like your getting trolled, when did you see a factory option where you could order a little tiny wheel with that much rubber on it, the Rubicon stock is 17s and 33s, those look like about 14s and getting in 40s, being double wide also so your wheels would need a lot of offset/backspacing

An I6 would be great, however the turbos would get extremely hot if you're rock crawling, especially in the summers of Moab, Mojave, Sedona, etc. Having twin turbos and a hybrid power train in those same conditions would definitely add to my concerns. I believe there are going to be some serious reliability issues for us rock crawling folks.

The hurricane would be a great engine for the wrangler ( the I6 version) because it will give it more power And if they make a HO version it can fill the 392s gap

I'm a little confused on the hurricane 4XE. If the hurricane motor itself is 500 horsepower and then you add the hybrid system to it wouldn't it be more HP? Kind of like the 2.0 t Wrangler plus the hybrid system comes out to 375/470 I believe

On the hurricane model, it's possible they used the 4 cyl. plus an electric motor (A-la hornet). Honestly i think the 4 cylinder (2.0l_ Not sure of the R/T One) is based on the hurricane design with 2 cylinders lopped off. Me personally i think the 2.0L alone (no motor) will be fine in a Jeep type setup, especially the shortened low option one they showed this year

That engine would be perfect in the Gladiator. It needs more power. Thanks for all the great videos. Will

I mean the 2.0 is also called the hurricane, so it might be a tuned 2.0 with the PHEV attached to it?

Not only that, it's sitting on the Xtreme Recon pkg. with an AEV bumper and wheels. Someone high up getting a very custom Jeep built to cruise around in🤔🤫

Fail that they didn’t take a photo of the license plate. That would show if it is an official Jeep vehicle or just a custom.

6:55 yup, right hand drive

I checked out a 392 at a local dealer, and up here in Canada 135 grand!! I was actually checking into a Rubicon X ... They had the exact! one that I "built and Priced" on the Jeep website, 85 GRAND! So i can't imagine what this 392 Final Edition would cost up here. Thinking I'll stick to my thought of "Paid off sounds way better then Brand New." ... That said! I want a Hurricane Motor! I want to put it in my XJ! But I can do without the turbos... I know nothing of Turbos. So how would they do in dusty environments? But if Jeep brought back the XJ Styling and put a Hurricane in it... Maybe I wouldn't mind new! ... Probably not, once I walked up and saw the price. But something (a design) with a proper Jeep grille. Anything that isn't a Wrangler has an Ugly grille.... I personally like the new grille on the wranglers. But XJ Styling (design), a Hurricane, OOOOH YAAAA! ... Jeep Recon!? Getting there, still the ugly grille and sorry I want a petrol engine.

Still miss the 4.0 engine bring it back with new tech in it

Likely have to wait until next platform (if they keep the Gladiator 👀)

I bought a ‘23 Wagoneer and a ‘23 Gladiator 2 days apart in September; I like my hurricane engine in my Wagoneer. I’ve been wondering if it would be an option for a gladiator, I’d love to have it.

👍

I think it’s a 4XE with a bump to 500lb-ft of twist.

I’m still in Moab and have seen 2 or 3 Wranglers with different iterations of “Hurricane” on the hood. Not sure it means anything, yet. The corporate Jeep guys have been tight-lipped, but they didn’t deny either the Hurricane or some version of the 4xe coming in the Gladiator. Everytime someone else does something interesting (e.g., Ranger Raptor), they seem willing to fight back. The clearly know they have to take the Gladiator up a notch if they want to continue selling them. I thought it was interesting that you can now get Accuair on a Jeep with a factory warranty. Lots of interesting concepts around. Inflation has killed Jeep pricing, but let’s hope they at least keep them interesting if they’re going to be so expensive. For all the anti-EV folks, I ran 4 trails (including Hells Revenge today) in my Wrangler 4xe and it as flawless. The belly weight is noticeable, but battery-only climbing is excellent. There were several other 4xes out there that i saw. All the folks driving them were happy (those I spoke with, obviously) and didn’t seem to have any different a Moab experience for being in an PHEV than anyone else. Several folks I spoke to on the trails were actually ready to put down money on a Gladiator with the new Ramcharger powertrain. I think if Jeep does something like that, they will have a winner.

We need another 4.0 L bulletproof

Still waiting for TFL to start the “The Fast Lane: Vespa” channel 😂

Wish they’d have an option to strip it to just Bluetooth and radio, cheap basic stuff and not the 60 inch TV for entertainment in the rubicon

Why not just the hurricane without a 4xe on the Gladiator

It is going to be tough for auto manufacturers to meet the mandated fed ZEV rules, so Jeep has to make changes sooner than later. I would rather have a PHEV then a BEV. Hopefully, the Gladiator 4xe will come out one of these days and it will be well done.
