Three engines have been produced: a 1.8 L, a 2.0 L, and a 2.4 L. The initial design of theengine blockandcylinder headwas handled byHyundaias part of the Global Engine Alliance. The engines feature analuminumengine block with siamesedcast ironcylinder liners(which do not allow coolant to flow between adjacent liners). By using cylinder liners, the engine'sborecan be altered, therefore the displacement as well, just by adding a different set of cylinder liners. The engine also features an aluminum cylinder head withdouble overhead camshaftsandvariable valve timing.

1.8

The 1.8L is adual overhead cam (DOHC)inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine capable of 148 hp (110 kW) and 125 lb⋅ft (169 N⋅m) of torque.The engine has displacement of 1.8 L; 109.7 cu in (1,798 cc) with a bore of 3.38 in (86 mm) and a stroke of 3.05 in (77 mm).The compression ratio is 10.5:1.

The 1.8L DOHC inline 4-cylinder engine served as the standard engine in the Dodge CaliberSEandSXTtrim for the 2007–2009 model years.

Applications:

• 2007–2009Dodge CaliberSEandSXT,148 hp (110 kW) and 125 lb⋅ft (169 N⋅m) torque

2.0

The 2.0L DOHC inline four-cylinder gasoline engine is capable of 158 hp (118 kW) and produces 141 lb⋅ft (191 N⋅m) of torque. The engine has a displacement of 2.0 L; 121.9 cu in (1,998 cc) with a bore and a stroke of 3.38 in × 3.38 in (86 mm × 86 mm).The compression ratio of the engine is 10.5:1. The 2.0 L engine was offered by Dodge in theDodge Caliber.Outside North America, the 2.0 was the base engine for the 2007 Chrysler Sebring and 2008 Dodge Avenger.

Applications:

• 2007–2012Dodge CaliberSEandSXT,158 hp (118 kW) and 141 lb⋅ft (191 N⋅m) torque
• 2007–2017Jeep Patriot(4×2 models only)
• 2007–2017Jeep Compass(4×2 models only)
• Dodge Avenger(outside North America)
• Chrysler Sebring(outside North America)

2.4

The 2.4 L, 172 hp (128 kW) engine was used by Dodge in theR/Ttrim line of the Caliber. The dual overhead cam (DOHC) inline four-cylinder engine had 2.4 L; 144.0 cu in (2,360 cc) of displacement with a bore and a stroke of 3.46 in × 3.82 in (88 mm × 97 mm).A 285 hp (213 kW)turbochargedvariant of this engine was used in the high-performanceSRT-4version of the Caliber.

Applications:

• 2007–2010Chrysler Sebring
• 2011–2014Chrysler 200/Lancia Flavia
• 2008–2014Dodge Avenger
• 2007–2011Dodge CaliberR/T,172 hp (128 kW) andSRT-4,285 hp (213 kW)
• 2009–2020Dodge Journey
• 2011–2016Fiat Freemont(Brazilian market)
• 2007–2017Jeep Compass
• 2007–2017Jeep Patriot

Tigershark

TheTigersharkengine family is the name for the next generation of World Gasoline Engines, with work starting on them shortly after Fiat's acquisition of Chrysler. The major differences compared to the first generation are the updated valvetrain and intakes.

2.0

The 2.0 L Tigershark DOHC inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine hasdual-variable valve timingand produces 160 hp (119 kW) and 148 lb⋅ft (201 N⋅m) of torque.It utilizes aboreandstrokeof 88 mm × 82 mm (3.46 in × 3.23 in) and a 10.2:1compression ratio.

Applications:

Year(s)	Model	Power	Torque
2013–2016	Dodge Dart	160 hp (119 kW) at 6400 rpm	148 lb⋅ft (201 N⋅m) at 4600 rpm
2015–2022	Jeep Cherokee (KL) (China)	155 hp (116 kW) at 6200 rpm	140 lb⋅ft (190 N⋅m) at 4600 rpm
2016–present	Jeep Renegade (China)

2.4

The 2.4 L Tigershark SOHC inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine usesMultiAir 2variable valve timing andvariable valve lifttechnology and produces 184 hp (137 kW) and 174 lb⋅ft (236 N⋅m) of torque. Only Multi-Air heads feature electro-hydraulicvariable valve timingand lift, although only on the intake side. The system is based on FIAT technology.It utilizes a bore and stroke of 88 mm × 97 mm (3.46 in × 3.82 in) and a 10.0:1 compression ratio.

Applications:

Year(s)	Model	Power	Torque
2013–2016	Dodge Dart	184 hp (137 kW) at 6250 rpm	174 lb⋅ft (236 N⋅m) at 4800 rpm
2014–2023	Jeep Cherokee	184 hp (137 kW) at 6400 rpm	171 lb⋅ft (232 N⋅m) at 4600 rpm
2015–2017	Chrysler 200	184 hp (137 kW) at 6250 rpm	173 lb⋅ft (235 N⋅m) at 4600 rpm
