Given the timetable for launch, the engines are likely well into durability testing. Various rumors have pegged the power ratings at around 260-280 hp for the standard, MultiAir version, and Automotive News reported 300 hp for a Jeep Wrangler engine (a V6 would remain available on the iconic SUV).
The torque ratings remain unknown, but there has been a suggestion that the most powerful Hurricane would beat the torque of the Pentastar V6, rated at 260-269 pound-feet. Recent turbocharged engines have tended to have fairly consistent torque throughout the engine’s power band.
