Expert Insight:

Why "Hurricane"?

The name "Hurricane" isn't just marketing; it's a nod to a historic engine, but the technology is brand new.

The Tech: This engine features a twin-scroll turbocharger mounted directly to the cylinder head.

The Result: By separating the exhaust pulses, the turbo spins up faster. This virtually eliminates "turbo lag," giving you immediate power when you need to merge onto I-79 or pass a slow truck on Route 18. It feels responsive and eager, just like a Dodge should.

Available Models with the 2.0L Hurricane4 Turbo

Currently, this engine is the standard heartbeat of Dodge's most aggressive compact utility vehicle (CUV).

Dodge Hornet GT

Dodge Hornet GT (2023 - Present):

The Hornet GT is the entry point to the Hive, but it comes standard with this high-output engine. Unlike competitors that make you pay extra for the "fast" engine, Dodge gives you 268 horsepower as the baseline.

Note: The Hornet R/T uses a different 1.3L Hybrid engine. If you want the pure gas turbo experience with the 9-speed transmission, the GT is your choice.

Owner’s Corner: Maintenance Mike Kelly Pro-Tips

The 2.0L Hurricane4 is a high-tech engine. Keep it running fast with these tips from the Mike Kelly Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Service Center:

Owner’s Corner: Maintenance Mike Kelly Pro-Tips
  • Oil Quality is Key: This turbo engine requires 5W-30 Full Synthetic Oil. Using conventional oil can lead to sludge in the turbo lines, killing performance.
  • Premium Fuel Recommended: To get the full 268 horsepower, Dodge recommends using premium fuel. You can run regular, but the engine computer will pull back timing, reducing your power on those Western PA hills.
  • Cool Down: After a hard drive or highway run, let the engine idle for 30 seconds before turning it off. This circulates oil through the turbo to cool it down, extending its life significantly.
