At La Porte Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, we understand that drivers in La Porte, IN are interested in using technology to save money on their commutes without compromising performance, and we've been hearing about a new Chrysler Hurricane engine that combines the best of both worlds.
While the Hurricane is not expected to enter the new Chrysler lineup until 2016, industry insiders have already been discussing the features of the new engine. Based on the existing Chrysler 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder Tigershark engine, the new Hurricane allegedly includes a variety of new technologies for boosting fuel economy while ensuring that drivers can still speed past the competition on the open road.
The Tigershark engine currently provides power to the Dodge Dart, and industry experts have been discussing an updated model that is also debuting in the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The new Cherokee features electrohydraulic valve timing that allows the four-cylinder vehicle to achieve impressive stats, like 184 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque.
As for what Chrysler models could feature the new Hurricane engine: that remains to be seen, but one strong contender that seems to surface every so often is the Chrysler 100. Based on the same platform as the aforementioned Dart, this luxury-inspired hatchback is sure to impress when it arrives here at our dealership in 2016.
Whatever models the new Hurricane engine finds itself in, you can trust that La Porte Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM will have an outstanding inventory of new Chrysler vehicles that can help you save money on your daily commutes, as well as a service center to ensure you get the most out of every mile.
