Down below we are going to be addressing what exactly makes this engine so special, and how it influences the Wrangler. Want to learn more? Then keep reading!
How much power does the EcoDiesel engine offer?
Before we get into the details as to what makes this engine so impressive, we’re going to discuss what you can expect out of this 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6. You can expect to get around 260 horsepower, and up to 442 pound-feet of torque. In order to help it get to these numbers, and to handle the torque load, it is matched up with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. This transmission is calibrated for any rigors that this 2020 Wrangler will be put through. In fact, there are over 40 shift maps that enable you to optimize everything for 4x4 capability, performance, and fuel economy. As it stands, this EcoDiesel engine performs well no matter the terrain, and it will deliver you the kind of power you’ve been waiting for.
What helps make this engine so impressive?
There are many different aspects of this engine that help it stand out from the crowd, especially as it has been dramatically improved from previous generations. One of the biggest new features is a water-cooled turbocharger that offers variable geometry turbine and low-friction bearing to help increase efficiency. Another great part of this redesign is lightweight aluminum alloy pistons, which reduce parasitic losses. We’re particularly excited about the redesigned cylinder head intake ports, which now boast higher flow capability and have also improved swirl and flow. You can expect to get better fuel economy and an increase in performance because of this change.
Anything else I should know about this engine?
While some might not be as interested in the nitty-gritty that goes on in the building process, it’s important when learning more about why this is such a successful engine. Even in terms of building materials, the EcoDiesel has a forged steel crankshaft, and connecting rods, which help to add in durability and strength. You’ll even get aluminum alloy pistons that are cooled with oil jets. These small additions help to make sure that everything works efficiently, and smoothly. Thanks to all of the additional care that has been placed into this engine, you know it will work without issue for years to come.
