The Stellantis Group which encompasses brands Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Opel, Fiat, Jeep and Chrysler, may be committed to an all-electric future in Europe, but they haven't stopped internal combustion development just yet, writes Brian Byrne.
A new inline six petrol engine with power up to 500hp has been revealed, for use in markets such as the US where electric cars won't become the norm for a much longer time. The 3.0 'Hurricane' will debut as the top engine in a Jeep Grand Wagoneer due to premiere at next month's New York Auto Show.
It will be priced higher than the 6.4 V8 that's currently the Grand Wagoneer's top option.
