Jeep just announced it will be offering a 3.0-liter diesel V-6 engine on its 2020 Wrangler’s powertrain lineup. The EcoDiesel powertrain, which will be available on four-door Unlimited models of the Wrangler, is expected to go on sale by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

The turbodiesel V-6 reportedly makes 260 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque. It will be paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission on the Sport, Rubicon, and Sahara models.<\/p>\n

The engine, which is also used to power the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, proves to be a worthy alternative to the existing gas options for the Wrangler such as a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four that makes 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque or the 3.6-liter V-6 that makes 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. And for the coming year, both gas options will be offered in either conventional or eTorque hybrid forms.<\/p>\n

The diesel option will be the new standard for the Jeep Wrangler with an engine start-stop system, while the eight-speed automatic transmission will be set up to deal with the increased torque output of the engine. A four-wheel-drive setup is also standard on all Wrangler models as multiple transfer-case and differential configurations will be made available to consumers looking for off-road capability.<\/p>\n

The Wrangler EcoDiesel’s EPA ratings are not yet released, but they are expected to be more efficient versus the turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four, which has 21 mpg combined, as well as the 3.6-liter V-6 that offers 20 mpg combined.<\/p>\n

The addition of a diesel engine will likely increase the base price for the gas engines despite already being $4,995 more expensive than the Ram model. Jeep is expected to release more information about the new Wrangler EcoDiesel in a couple of months before it officially goes on sale at year-end.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
