As you know by now, the 2019 is offered with two gasoline engine choices – a direct injection, four-cylinder 2.0-liter with a turbocharger and the 's revamped naturally-aspirated Pentastar V6. Buyers of the off-roader are facing a tough decision, especially when you take a quick peek at both of each variant's spec sheet: 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque for the V6, while the force-inducted mill is at 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. It's all about this iconic model from Jeep. As you can see, the horsepower curve of the turbocharged engine is steeper, with acceleration starting at around 2,500 RPM and reaching the maximum 233 hp at around 5,800 RPM.
Whats your Take on the I-4 Turbo VS the V6. This person is a verified professional. Turbo engines do get better fuel mileage on the highway but can be pigs in the city if you've got a heavy foot. This is not true with newer engines. Newer V6s and V8s have the Engine Cylinder deactivation which, from its name, deactivates.
More abrupt acceleration due to the boost, but kind of short-lived. On the other hand, the naturally-aspirated V6 employs gradual acceleration, starting from around 2,300 RPM and then reaching the maximum 239 hp at 6,700 RPM.The is more interesting, though. The force-inducted powertrain could reach its peak 270 lb-ft torque as early as 3,500 RPM, but there won't be low-end pulling power due to the lack of boost at an early onset. The V6, as expected, provides a more constant torque delivery, with an early pull at 2,000 RPM but reaching peak 223 lb-ft torque at 6,500 RPM. This tells us that although the 2.0L turbo could provide more pulling power, the V6 could implement the pull constantly at any given driving condition.
