Hurricane Engine
The Next Generation of Power Has Arrived
There is a storm brewing under the hoods of some of the most iconic American vehicles—and it is redefining what drivers can expect from power, performance, and efficiency. Meet the Hurricane. This all-new twin-turbocharged inline-six engine from Stellantis is setting a bold new standard for what it means to drive a Dodge, Jeep, or Ram. And here at Shepard Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Rockland, Maine, we’re ready to help you harness it.
The Stellantis Hurricane engine—officially known as the 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo I6—is not just a replacement for the beloved HEMI V8. It is a revolutionary step forward. Built on the foundation of high-output performance with low emissions, this engine delivers more horsepower and torque than the outgoing V8s while improving fuel economy. It’s smart, strong, and engineered to future-proof some of the most recognized vehicles in America. Available in two variants—the Standard Output (SO) and High Output (HO)—the Hurricane engine has already made its way into the 2023 Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, and more recently, the 2025 Ram 1500. With up to 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque in the HO version, the Hurricane doesn’t just match the muscle of a V8—it leaves it in the dust.
Why the Hurricane Engine Matters
For Maine drivers who love to tow, haul, explore, and command the roads with confidence, engine performance is everything. The Hurricane engine brings immediate benefits:
- Improved fuel efficiency without sacrificing power
- Turbocharged performance for responsive acceleration and high-end torque
- Lower emissions, aligning with future regulatory demands
- Refined driving experience with less vibration and smoother delivery
At Shepard CDJR, we know our customers want a vehicle that can keep up with their lifestyle—whether it’s towing gear to Camden Harbor, adventuring in Acadia, or simply driving along Route 1 with confidence. The Hurricane engine was built for that kind of versatility.
How Stellantis Engineered the Future
So what makes the Hurricane engine so special? It all starts with a clean-sheet design focused on efficiency and adaptability. The aluminum block makes it lighter than previous engines. Dual turbochargers allow for consistent power delivery. Direct injection technology ensures optimal fuel use. And the water-to-air intercooler maintains peak performance under pressure. In short: every inch of this engine was crafted to handle modern driving demands—whether you’re behind the wheel of a rugged Ram 1500 or an upscale Jeep Grand Wagoneer.
