Updates include a high pressure injected aluminum block from the previous iron, and upgraded motors and controllers for the CNC machines used in the manufacturing process to increase productivity and ease diagnosis.
In March 2018, the series reached a milestone of 1.2 million units produced; 35% of total production was exported to FCA plants in Argentina, Turkey, and Fiat's native Italy.
Output:[6] Application: Starting with the 2015 model year Jeep Renegade the E.torQ engine received a variable cam phasing system that operated over a wide range, allowing for 60° of variation.
The high compression ratio was utilised in conjunction with the variable cam timing to allow the engine to operate in Atkinson cycle mode.
Output: For the 2016 model year Jeep Renegade the EVO engine was updated again with VIS (Variable Induction System) that uses a set of electronically actuated valves to alternate between two separate intake tracks of different lengths, with the crossover occurring at 4250 RPM.
