The Jeep EWP is a 1,368 cc, inline‑three turbocharged petrol engine paired with an electric motor in a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) configuration, produced from 2021 onward. It features direct fuel injection, a single twin‑scroll turbocharger, dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), and is integrated with a 15.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. This powertrain delivers a combined system output of 190 kW (258 PS) and 500 Nm of torque, prioritizing low-end responsiveness and short-range electric driving.
Fitted exclusively to the Renegade and Compass 4xe models, the EWP powertrain targets drivers seeking reduced emissions for urban commuting without sacrificing off-road capability. Emissions compliance is achieved through its electric range and optimized combustion, meeting Euro 6d standards across its production run.
One documented operational consideration involves the thermal management system for the battery and power electronics. Stellantis Service Bulletin 21‑045‑22 outlines software updates and diagnostic procedures to optimize cooling performance under sustained high-load conditions, ensuring long-term component reliability.
Production years 2021–Present meet Euro 6d standards for all markets (EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007).
The Jeep EWP is a 1,368 cc inline‑three turbocharged petrol engine within a PHEV system, engineered for compact SUVs (2021-Present). It combines direct injection with a twin‑scroll turbocharger and a 60 kW electric motor to deliver instant torque and efficient electric-only operation. Designed to meet Euro 6d standards, it balances zero-emission city driving with robust highway and off-road performance.

The electric motor provides instant torque for off-the-line acceleration and enables up to 50 km of pure electric range, ideal for urban commutes. Strict adherence to 15,000 km oil change intervals using Stellantis MS-12991 (5W-40) oil is critical for the ICE component. The high-voltage battery requires periodic health checks via diagnostic software. The direct injection system may require intake valve cleaning (every 80,000-100,000 km) to maintain optimal combustion efficiency. The GPF mandates the use of premium (95 RON or higher) unleaded fuel to prevent clogging and ensure emissions compliance. Software updates per SIB 21-045-22 are recommended for optimal thermal management.
Oil Specs: Requires Stellantis MS-12991 specification (Stellantis Owner's Manual). Equivalent to ACEA C3.
Emissions: Euro 6d certification applies to all 2021-Present EWP PHEV powertrains (EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007).
Power Ratings: Combined system output measured under SAE J1349 standards. ICE output requires 95 RON fuel (Stellantis TIS Doc. EWP-003).

The Jeep EWP PHEV powertrain is used exclusively in Jeep's Renegade 4xe and Compass 4xe platforms with transverse mounting. This integrated system features unique power electronics, cooling circuits, and chassis reinforcements compared to conventional models. No major facelift revisions have occurred, ensuring broad parts interchangeability within the 4xe lineup. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code 'EWP' stamped on the front of the cylinder block, near the timing chain cover (Stellantis TIS EWP-004). The 8th digit of the VIN is 'E' for the 1.3T PHEV engine. Visually, the powertrain is identifiable by its compact three-cylinder engine, the prominent orange high-voltage cables running to the rear axle motor, and the '4xe' badging. The presence of a charging port on the front wing is a definitive identifier. Service parts for the ICE are generally consistent with non-hybrid 1.3T engines, but high-voltage components are unique to the 4xe system.
The EWP PHEV's primary reliability consideration involves the integration of its high-voltage system with the ICE. Stellantis service data indicates that thermal management of the battery and power electronics is critical under sustained high-load conditions, while adherence to the prescribed maintenance schedule for the ICE and periodic HV system checks minimizes long-term risks. Software updates are essential for optimal system coordination.
