The Jeep EGT is a 2,000 cc, inline‑four turbocharged petrol engine produced from 2021 to present. It features a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) design with variable valve timing, direct fuel injection, and a twin-scroll turbocharger. This powerplant delivers 200 kW (272 PS) and 400 Nm of torque, utilizing its twin-scroll turbo to minimize lag and provide strong, linear power delivery across the rev range.
Fitted primarily to the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler 4xe models, the EGT was engineered for drivers demanding robust performance and towing capability in mid-to-full-size SUVs. Emissions compliance for its production run is achieved through a gasoline particulate filter (GPF) and sophisticated engine management, meeting stringent Euro 6d standards across all markets.
One documented refinement addressed potential hesitation under aggressive throttle transitions in early 2021 builds. This update, detailed in FCA Service Bulletin 22-033-21, involved revised ECU calibration to optimize turbo boost control and fuel delivery mapping for smoother response.
All production years 2021–Present meet Euro 6d standards for petrol engines (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9012).
The Jeep EGT is a 2,000 cc inline‑four turbocharged petrol engineered for mid-to-full-size SUVs (2021-Present). It combines direct injection with a twin-scroll turbocharger to deliver strong, linear power and responsive performance. Designed to meet Euro 6d standards, it balances high output with modern emissions control.

The twin-scroll turbo provides strong, lag-free power ideal for towing and highway overtaking but requires premium unleaded (98 RON recommended) to prevent knocking and maintain peak performance. Adherence to 15,000 km or 12-month oil change intervals with FCA MS-12991 specification oil is critical for turbo and chain longevity. The GPF system necessitates occasional highway driving for passive regeneration. No major mechanical failures are documented; the primary update (SIB 22-033-21) addresses a drivability refinement.
Oil Specs: Requires FCA MS-12991 (0W-20) specification (FCA Owner's Manual). ACEA C5 oils are generally compatible if MS-12991 is unavailable.
Emissions: Euro 6d certification applies universally to all EGT engines (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9012). No market-specific variations.
Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards. Output is consistent across applications (FCA TIS Doc. J90200).

The Jeep EGT was used across Jeep's Grand Cherokee and Wrangler platforms with longitudinal mounting. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-ECU calibrations for hybrid synergy in the 4xe variant-and no significant facelift revisions have occurred during its production, ensuring broad parts interchangeability. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on the rear face of the cylinder block, near the transmission bellhousing (FCA TIS J90150). The 8th VIN digit for EGT-equipped vehicles is typically 'E'. All EGT engines feature a black plastic intake manifold with "2.0 TURBO" branding and a single Honeywell twin-scroll turbocharger mounted at the front. Critical differentiation from other 2.0L FCA engines: EGT uses direct injection with 350 bar pressure and specific ECU software for the 4xe hybrid system. Service parts are generally consistent, but hybrid-specific components require verification.
The EGT's primary documented service concern is minor throttle response calibration, with no incidence of widespread mechanical failure. FCA Service Bulletin 22-033-21 addresses this drivability refinement for early production units, while general owner feedback indicates strong overall reliability. Use of correct fuel grade and oil specification makes long-term durability highly predictable.
