JEEP EVP engine (2021–Present) – Specs, Problems & Compatibility Database

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 electric motor for seamless urban and highway performance.

Fitted exclusively to the Renegade and Compass 4xe SUVs, the EVP engine was engineered to work in concert with an electric motor for zero-emission driving and extended range. Emissions compliance for Euro 6d was achieved through a close‑coupled three‑way catalyst and an engine management system calibrated for hybrid operation, minimizing real-world NOx and CO2 output.

One documented concern is potential failure of the engine-driven vacuum pump, noted in Stellantis service documentation. This issue, addressed in Stellantis Service Bulletin 09-040-24, is linked to premature diaphragm wear causing loss of brake booster assist. A revised pump design with reinforced diaphragm material was implemented for engines produced after May 2024.

Practical Implications

The twin-scroll turbo provides brisk acceleration that complements the electric motor, but requires adherence to 15,000 km oil change intervals using Stellantis MS-12991 specification oil to manage soot and hybrid system heat. Due to its GDI system, periodic induction system cleaning (every 60,000 km) is recommended to prevent intake valve carbon buildup. The engine-driven vacuum pump is generally reliable but early units (pre-May 2024) should be monitored for brake booster issues per Stellantis SIB 09-040-24. Fuel quality meeting EN 228 standards is essential for injector longevity.

Data Verification Notes

Oil Specs: Requires Stellantis MS-12991 (5W-40) specification (Stellantis Owner's Manual). Equivalent to ACEA C3.

Emissions: Euro 6d certification applies to all 2021–Present production models (EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 as amended).

Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards. Output is consistent across specified fuel grades (Stellantis TIS Doc. ST-9730).

EVP Compatible Models

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.

Identification Guidance

Locate the engine code stamped on the front of the cylinder block, near the thermostat housing (Stellantis TIS ST-9715). The 8th digit of the VIN is 'P' for the 1.3T PHEV variant. Visually, the engine is identifiable by its compact inline-three layout, '1.3 MultiAir Turbo' badge on the plastic engine cover, and the presence of high-voltage orange cables nearby for the hybrid system. Differentiation from the non-hybrid 1.3L EZD engine: The EVP shares identical core hardware but is calibrated for hybrid operation and is always paired with the electric drive unit. Service parts for the core engine are generally consistent across 4xe applications.

Identification Details

Evidence:

Stellantis TIS Doc. ST-9715

Location:

Stamped on the front of the cylinder block, near the thermostat housing (Stellantis TIS ST-9715).

Visual Cues:

  • Plastic engine cover with '1.3 MultiAir Turbo' badge.
  • Presence of high-voltage orange cables in the engine bay indicating 4xe system.
Compatibility Notes

Evidence:

Stellantis SIB 10 07 23

Hybrid System:

The EVP engine is only serviceable as part of the complete 4xe powertrain. Standalone engine replacement requires reprogramming and calibration with the hybrid control module.

E C U Calibration:

ECU software calibration is specific to the hybrid system's energy management strategy and differs from non-hybrid 1.3L engine calibrations.
Vacuum Pump Revision

Issue:

Early production EVP engines (before May 2024) used an engine-driven vacuum pump susceptible to premature diaphragm wear.

Evidence:

Stellantis SIB 09 040 24

Recommendation:

Vehicles with build dates prior to May 2024 should have the vacuum pump inspected or replaced with the updated part per Stellantis SIB 09-040-24 if symptoms arise.

Common Reliability Issues - JEEP EVP

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.

Engine-driven vacuum pump failure
Symptoms: Hard brake pedal, increased stopping distance, illuminated brake system warning light, hissing noise from engine bay.
Cause: Premature wear or rupture of the diaphragm within the vacuum pump, leading to loss of vacuum pressure for the brake booster.
Fix: Replace the entire vacuum pump assembly with the latest revised OEM part per Stellantis Service Bulletin 09-040-24; bleed brake system if necessary.
Intake valve carbon buildup
Symptoms: Rough idle, cold start hesitation, reduced power, increased fuel consumption.
Cause: Lack of fuel washing over valves in GDI system allows oil vapors and blow-by to form hard carbon deposits.
Fix: Perform periodic induction system cleaning (walnut blasting or chemical) per Stellantis procedure; maintain strict oil change intervals.
Turbocharger actuator faults
Symptoms: Check Engine Light, loss of boost pressure, whistling noise from turbo area.
Cause: Wear or carbon fouling in the variable geometry actuator linkage, preventing proper vane control.
Fix: Clean or replace the turbo actuator assembly; inspect for boost leaks in associated hoses and pipes.
Hybrid cooling system leaks
Symptoms: Engine overheating warnings, reduced electric-only range, coolant smell, visible coolant leaks near front of engine or under vehicle.
Cause: Degradation of hoses or seals in the dedicated engine/hybrid cooling circuit due to heat cycling and electrical component proximity.
Fix: Locate and replace the leaking component (hose, seal, or pump) with updated OEM parts; bleed the hybrid cooling system thoroughly after repair.
