The Jeep EDR is a 1,995 cc, inline‑four turbocharged petrol engine produced from 2021 to present. It features gasoline direct injection, a single twin‑scroll turbocharger, and dual overhead camshafts (DOHC). This powerplant delivers 200 kW (272 PS) and 400 Nm of torque, with its twin‑scroll turbo design enabling strong, linear power delivery ideal for spirited driving.
Fitted primarily to the Grand Cherokee (WL) SUV, the EDR engine was engineered for confident highway overtaking and towing capability. Emissions compliance for Euro 6d was achieved through a gasoline particulate filter (GPF) integrated into the exhaust manifold and a sophisticated engine management system.
One documented concern is potential failure of the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP), noted in FCA service documentation. This issue, addressed in FCA Service Bulletin 09-035-24, is linked to specific material wear characteristics under sustained high load. A revised pump design was implemented for engines produced after April 2024.
Production years 2021–Present meet Euro 6d standards across all applicable markets (EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 as amended).
The Jeep EDR is a 1,995 cc inline‑four turbocharged petrol engineered for mid-size SUVs (2021-Present). It combines gasoline direct injection with a twin‑scroll turbocharger to deliver strong, linear power and responsive performance. Designed to meet Euro 6d standards, it balances performance with stringent emissions control.

The twin-scroll turbo provides strong, linear power ideal for highway driving but requires adherence to 15,000 km oil change intervals using FCA MS-12991 specification oil to manage heat and soot. Due to its GDI system, periodic induction system cleaning (every 80,000 km) is recommended to prevent intake valve carbon buildup. The integrated GPF is generally robust but can become clogged with frequent short trips; occasional highway driving helps maintain regeneration. Fuel quality meeting EN 228 standards is essential for injector and HPFP longevity.
Oil Specs: Requires FCA MS-12991 (5W-40) specification (FCA Owner's Manual). Equivalent to ACEA C3.

The Jeep EDR – Petrol (FCA) was used exclusively in Jeep's Grand Cherokee (WL) platform with longitudinal mounting. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-unique engine mounts and exhaust routing for the Grand Cherokee-with no significant facelift revisions during its production run to date. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on the front of the cylinder block, near the timing cover (FCA TIS FT-9615). The 8th digit of the VIN is 'R' for the 2.0T petrol variant. Visually, the engine is identifiable by its '2.0L Turbo' badge on the plastic engine cover and its longitudinal mounting in the engine bay. Differentiation from the 3.0L V6: The EDR is an inline-four with a visibly different intake manifold and turbocharger housing. Service parts are specific to this engine code.
The EDR's primary reliability consideration is potential high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) failure in early production units, with elevated incidence under sustained high-load conditions. FCA service data indicates this was addressed with a running change, while owner reports often cite its general performance robustness. Extended oil change intervals and poor fuel quality accelerate wear on the HPFP and turbocharger, making adherence to the factory service schedule critical.
Analysis derived from FCA technical bulletins (2021-Present) and EU type-approval failure statistics (2022-2025). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
