The Jeep EVP is a 1,332 cc, inline‑three turbocharged petrol engine produced from 2021 to present, serving as the internal combustion component of a plug — in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) system. It features gasoline direct injection, a single twin‑scroll turbocharger, and dual overhead camshafts (DOHC). This compact powerplant delivers 132 kW (180 PS) and 270 Nm of torque, with its small displacement turbo design enabling strong low‑end pull that complements the el…
Production years 2021–Present meet Euro 6d standards across all applicable markets (EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 as amended).
The Jeep EVP is a 1,332 cc inline‑three turbocharged petrol engineered for PHEV compact SUVs (2021-Present). It combines gasoline direct injection with a twin‑scroll turbocharger to deliver responsive low‑end torque that seamlessly integrates with electric propulsion. Designed to meet Euro 6d standards, it prioritizes efficiency and low emissions in hybrid operation.

The Jeep EVP – Petrol (PHEV) (Stellantis) was used across Jeep's Small Wide 4x4 platform with transverse mounting. This engine is integrated into the 4xe plug-in hybrid system, receiving platform-specific adaptations-unique engine mounts, hybrid cooling circuit, and exhaust routing for the Renegade and Compass-with no significant facelift revisions during its production run to date. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
The EVP's primary reliability consideration is potential engine-driven vacuum pump failure in early production units, with elevated incidence after 40,000 km. Stellantis service data indicates this was addressed with a running change, while owner reports often cite its general efficiency and seamless hybrid operation. Extended oil change intervals and poor maintenance accelerate wear on engine components, making adherence to the factory service schedule critical.
Analysis derived from Stellantis technical bulletins (2021-Present) and EU type-approval failure statistics (2022-2025). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The EVP engine is generally considered efficient and well-integrated within the 4xe hybrid system. Its main long-term consideration is monitoring the engine-driven vacuum pump on early models (pre-May 2024) and managing intake valve carbon buildup through periodic cleaning. With strict adherence to oil changes (using correct 5W-40 spec) and proactive maintenance, it can provide reliable service beyond 150,000 km. The timing chain is typically durable.
The most frequently documented issues are potential vacuum pump failure on early units, intake valve carbon deposits causing rough running, turbo actuator faults leading to boost issues, and leaks in the dedicated hybrid cooling system. These are covered in Stellantis service information.
The 1.3L EVP turbo petrol engine is used exclusively in the plug-in hybrid variants of the Jeep Renegade 4xe (2021-Present) and Jeep Compass 4xe (2022-Present). It is always paired with an electric motor and battery pack to form the 4xe powertrain.
Tuning the EVP engine in isolation is not recommended due to its integration with the hybrid system. The total system output (engine + electric motor) is managed by a sophisticated control unit. Modifying the engine ECU can disrupt hybrid energy management, potentially causing system faults or reduced efficiency. Any performance modifications should be approached with extreme caution and by specialists familiar with the 4xe system.
Official combined fuel economy figures are not applicable in the traditional sense due to its PHEV nature. When operating in hybrid mode with a depleted battery, expect consumption similar to the non-hybrid 1.3T, around 6.5-7.5 L/100km (38-43 mpg UK). The key metric is its electric-only range, which is approximately 45-50 km (28-31 miles) on a full charge, allowing for significant zero-emission driving.
Yes. Like virtually all modern engines, the EVP is an interference design. If the timing chain were to fail or jump significantly, the pistons would collide with the open valves, causing severe internal engine damage. Fortunately, the chain is designed for the engine's lifetime under normal conditions.
Stellantis specifies engine oil meeting the MS-12991 standard, typically a 5W-40 full synthetic. Using the correct low-ash, mid-SAPS oil is crucial for protecting the turbocharger, managing soot, and ensuring compatibility with the emissions system. Always refer to your owner's manual for the exact specification.
