Driving the new Hurricane Twin Turbo 6.. Is it better than the V8 Hemi?

I finally get to drive the 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer equipped with the brand new Hurricane twin turbo inline 6 cylinder to see how it performs against the current V8 hemi engines in the Mopar lineup. This new engine makes more power, it's more fuel efficient, and it's more tunable, but is it really better? What do you think about the Hurricane?

I own a Grand Wagoneer with the 6.4L V8. I was thinking to upgrade to the Grand Wagoneer L for the extra room. When I was in Florida recently I rented a Grand Wagoneer Series II with the HO Hurricane engine. I was disappointed. Drove it for a week. My notes were that compared to my 6.4 the Turbo six was: 1) Smoother than the V8 for sure. The Hurricane was VERY smooth and buttery. 2) The sound was not as good as the V8. But I never expected it to be and I do not own the GW for sound anyway. I own it for luxury and because my family fits in it well. 3) The Turbo Six was a serious disappointment in fuel economy. IF it got any better than the V8 at all, it was perhaps 0.3 MPG. So what is the point? The MPG was basically the same. 4) The V8 response is solidly better than the turbo six. The Turbo from the start need a second to come on spool. The V8 launches instantly. But not a meaningful difference. - The BIG difference was in highway speed passing power. In the HEMI if I need to blow past someone and this is an 80+ mph passing, the Hurricane would run out of steam where the HEMI just keeps pulling hard. Especially if you are approaching 90 in a highway passing. Some will say that is too fast in these big rigs anyway, but to me, when you are passing a car (or two) in an open section, you want to rip by and not hang out in the wrong side. The HEMI was hands down without question superior in this way. I thought it would be the Hurricane that would be better in this with the turbos, but nope. The HEMI was clearly stronger in this instance. Based upon my experience, while I think the Hurricane is a lovely, smooth engine. I decided to keep my HEMI for now. There was no clear advantage in MPG to the turbo six and the passing power was not as strong. I can see either being a fine engine for these big, heavy SUV’s - but the HEMI is still just a little better in my opinion.

[@chetmanley610]

Nice comparison. I'm not sure what the hurricane is rated at for mpg but I'm not surprised that it's not much different from the 6.4 at least in those big heavy wagoneers. Just out of curiosity if the hurricane did yield a noticably better mpg over the 6.4 would that be enough for you to trade up?

[@gvflyer4079]

@@chetmanley610 If the MPG was meaningfully improved over the HEMI, then yes, I would trade up. The reduced passing power on the top end is something I could live with. But not if there are no other benefits to the Hurricane. I think to see any real world MPG improvement I would need to drive the GW with a VERY light foot. The turbos basically are always feeding during normal acceleration or highway driving in the GW because it is a heavy vehicle, so the MPG suffers. This combined with the reduced top end passing power removes any benefit. If the MPG was 2+ or more better, then I could see perhaps moving up.

[@RVForLife365]

I own a GW with a hurricane engine and own 2 Hemi and you’re dead wrong on the power … it is very noticeable ( it does take 1 second of lag to wake but it flies in comparison to Hemi that wakes instantly but is slower) I drive sport mode 24/7 … the gas consumption is like you said almost identical 14 Hemi 14.8 hurricane, and I have a very heavy foot

[@gvflyer4079]

@@RVForLife365 Good to know. Hope you have better luck than I did with the GW. I really love them, but the reliability is horrible. We built up to having 3 of them in our business, but the problems were so bad we had to dump two of them and the third is now going through the lemon law process - it launched a piston in the HEMI. Very surprising, but just too many issues. Changed over to all Escalades now. If Jeep got these right on the reliability, they would crush the Escalade, but unfortunately, Jeep did not do so. I was extremely surprised that the engine had an issue given that they have been building the 6.4 for so many years.

I love that they are bringing back an actual inline 6 engine and I think we will see some decent reliability from these, however, dodge is making a huge mistake by getting rid of their pushrod V8’s. They need to have both of these engines available simultaneously. Also, maybe make a naturally aspirated version of the new hurricane and put it in the wrangler? Just a thought…

[@mikelemoine4267]

They are getting charged hundreds of millions of dollars a year in penalties because they can't meet the CAFE mileage standards. Of course, these may not even end up getting better mileage in the real world since people will be boosting them all the time compared to MPG test conditions. I'm impressed with the power of these, but also realize it will take them 5 or 6 years to fix whether inherent issues they have. That seems to be the average to fix things like the Ecodiesel, the Pentastar and so forth. Ford does the same slow roll and I think GM just doesn't bother to fix things.

[@wilsontl007]

I will always have a hemi. Having said that I have owned a Grand National. With a few mods those cars were wicked fast. So I'm up for anything with a turbo on it.

Nothing can replace a V8 HEMI, nothing and never. Sound, vibrations, etc. This is a total work of art. It's not a question of how fast the 0-60 acceleration is. A HEMI for me is the finest honest American engine construction. And I bought my 21 Challenger Scat Pack precisely because the car is what it is.

[@gsc512]

The inline 6 is mostly plastic and plastic doesn't hold up well in high heat environments. The V6 was known for having an oil cooler that cracked because it was in the valley that was plastic and this motor is completely plastic with twin turbos to make sure that everything gets a thorough heat soaking. I thought it was bad in the '90s when they put plastic hinges knowing that you would have to replace them😅 now the whole power plant. 😂

Agreed 💯 majority of TRUE gearheads want that BIG V8 Supercharged sound & performance. Can't get excited about this V6 or straight 6 stuff. Trouble is a 6 cylinder still sounds like a 6 cylinder even with twin turbos on it. It sounds like crapola. Think 1st Gen Raptor, same problem! I know, use to have one, hated the sound no matter how exhaust was modified. NO THANKS! However, I can get excited about if Trump gets re-elected. He's already said he's bringing back drilling for oil at home & be energy INDEPENDENT again with low gas prices & low inflation everywhere, just like before. He said Americans should have choices, not just have mandated green energy climate change BS vehicles shoved down our throats, so he's removing the hundreds of strict Government regulations off of the American Auto manufacturers so they can build the cars and vehicles that we love. I can see the hemi & even better V8 ICE engines coming our way if he gets in there. If he don't, then kiss all your V8's goodbye! He Has My Vote 💯 !! He works only for We The People Not the Washington Deep State Bureaucrats & their big money backers oF RINOS & DEMS candidates & politicians. I Want my Supercharged Big V8'S! Hang in there America! I think the American manufacturers are waiting to see who gets elected, so they can adjust accordingly, building the big V8's that we all love under Trump in office or have them die under anyone else.

Whether it was the Little Red Truck towards the end of the 1970's, the Shelby Turbo cars of the eighties, Viper in the 90's, and the return of the Hemi name and Challenger and Charger in the 2000's. Not only did they build fast cars they built some of the toughest engines ever built by anyone! We don't even have to talk Cummins diesel to talk about Mopar related engines that could put some miles on! Little slant six and 318's! The beatings I've put on them! I have faith even under Stellantis they will figure out a way to deliver unique and fun vehicles to own! It's going to take getting people past the one trick pony Hemi mentality! Got to see Dodge as more than a two or three vehicle Hemi only car company! I personally think they made a mistake going down that rabbit hole and were limiting their customer base to much and tarnishing their image in doing so!

and Inline 6 diesel would offer more power than anyone would ever need. Just a 3 liter inline 6 too. Nowadays Honda has the DTEC diesel, it's 1.6 liters, has150hp at 6000rpm (the highest revving diesel ever made) and like 260ft/lbs of torque. That's a lot of muscle for a Honda Microcar. And Volvo Penta has a 7.7 liter inline 6 diesel that has 600hp and like 1500ft/lbs of torque. They now have integrated exhaust gas cooling into the head so they can push turboboost higher without having the high exhaust gas temps that burn out turbos. Even mercedes is using this trick where they have a 2liter four now with 450hp and 450ft/lbs of torque. There is such thing as having too large of a motor.

I think the new cars with the inline 6 will be bette perhaps. I like inline 6's. Chrysler has a good history with 6's. 6's are more exotic motors that can be pushed harder than V8. They have more torque, and you can rev them out more, and they're better at sustaining high speed operation. With that said, that whole era with the 300, the challenger, and the chargers with the hemi was a great era. Those cars are going to be loved for a long time. The Lincoln town car was a very good car too and when dodge got the mercedes W211 technology and applied it to an American car. These cars have turned out being some of the most loved cars in modern times because of their looks, their performance and the sound they make, People love these car and fortunately there's been a lot of them made. I drive a 2006 Mercedes E320 CDI, and it's a great car, it's a better car, it has a better motor, it's more aerodynamic, it's a better car but I can understand from the W211 it's great chasis and dodge did a great job dropping a modern HEMI V8 in it. But to tell you the truth, if you really want to go fast, the turbodiesel is the really high performance option. I'm surprised nobody has figured to hot rod a Chrysler charger with the V6 turbodiesel. But then the thing is you can't get the power out of the V6 turbodiesels as you can from the Mercedes inline 6, so that should say something about the merrit of going to a inline 6 in general, but even the V6 turbodiesel will the leave the V8 behind on the open road above 80mph.

You can definitely get power more easily out of a turbo engine. For example, you can get 500 plus horsepower out of a 2.3-liter Mustang Ecoboost engine. All you need are downpipe, intercooler, turbo, and fuel pump upgrades along with a flex fuel tune. Burn 93 during the week and fill it with E-85 on race day. This car will smoke stockish Scat Packs, Camaro SSs, and Mustang GTs. The total cost of the upgrades is about $7k. The nice thing about turbo engines is that they are highly tunable. With my Taurus SHO, I cut over a second off my quarter mile ET with just a tune. The cost of the tune was about $600. You can make good power for a relatively small investment. Once you own a turbo car, it is easier to get past the sound of a V8.

[@hu3.789]

@@johntron1237 - There are 2 problems you'll run into with adding a turbo to the 392 or the 5.7. The first will be space. With all the plumbing involved, there is very little room in the engine bay for turbos. Four- and 6-cylinder engines are smaller allowing the turbos to be placed in the engine bay. The turbos will probably have to be place under the car in the 8 cylinder. That could pose a problem during rainstorms or driving through standing water. The other is that HP70 transmission used in the 392 and 5.7 probably won't stand up long term to the additional torque. Either the HP70 has to be replaced with an HP90 that is used in the Hellcat or the HP70 will have to be rebuilt and strengthened.

[@ryanb8736]

It’s actually the opposite. The V8 has to work harder. It needs to rev so much higher to gain max torque. Straight 6 makes full torque under 2000k rpm. Hemi does that in triple the time at 5k rpm. Plus straight 6 doesn’t need to rev high. Turbos do all the work. Straight 6 turbos are so powerful, they are found in every 18 wheeler. Tons of them with 5 million plus miles on them. These new engines will be the closest to a diesel without having to go diesel. This will close the gap.

[@ExaltedDuck]

Raw output, yeah, it:s a little more the hemi at around 400hp standard output ant 500hp high output. But when it's squeezing those numbers out of just 3 liters of displacement, "better" has to be carefully considered. Getting 200-300 thousand miles out of a gen III hemi isn't unheard of. They remain pretty stout and strong throughout that lifecycle. Fuel economy can be surprisingly good with manual transmission Challenger r/t's easily able to beat EPA highway mpg ratings by 10-20%. With the hurricane, my bet would be real world fuel economy will be no better than the hemi while durability and longevity and reliability get cut in half. So even if it's a little faster and even if certain situations offer better fuel economy than the hemi, for what the hurricane is, and for how their owners will want to use them (not to mention when considering has designed them and who will be building them), they will be a bad choice

I think this will be an awesome sporty engine for the coups and sedans but I'm having serious second thoughts about this in a work truck. The towing on these new engines is lower than the stock Hemi and I don't want to even think about the maintenance of a boosted inline-six that has less displacement than the old 4.0 inline-six AMC engines. The metallurgy and engineering are impressive and no doubt the compression ratio is high. Face it, a performance inline 6 with these kinds of numbers look great for an exotic sedan but impractical for a work vehicle that is going to see hundreds of thousands of miles. The main question is -- who is standing up to the EPA and CAFE and telling them that this low-to-no carbon footprint isn't ideal for all consumer and business needs? I disagree with the statement of "Hemi's don't take to mods well". You can force induct, stroke, or cam a Ram V8 and get some sizeable HP numbers. It's hard to do because Ram/Dodge isn't open to tweaking an engine that was built to be reliable.

Gonna miss the V8 for sure. All the rumble and noise and crazy power. Drove the Challenger Hellcat Redeye on the Corvette Speedway a couple years ago. What a Monster! Since the V8 is gone now, a TT inline 6 is a great setup for reliable power, especially if they use a progressive trubo setup, one low pressure for daily driving, one high for the extra boost when needed. Inline 6's have better balance and torque for their size because of the crank's rod connection geometry. Nissan proved that a long time ago with the R34. Jeep's inline 6 reliability has been legendary, and a proper turbo setup can turn a small engine into a reliable daily driveable monster, so it makes perfect sense to test the market with these.

Forget the engine, I think they did a disservice to the Grand Wagoneer legacy. It was truly a great SUV.
