Hurricane engine- inline six cylinder engine Dodge

What is the new Inline six-cylinder engine by Dodge?

The new Hurricane twin-turbocharged inline-6 engine is the latest in legendary powerplants from Stellantis. The company is known worldwide for its iconic V6 and V8 engines powering many of its vehicles. Iconic cars like the Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger are known for aggressive performance and relentless power. But, the company decided, along with other manufacturers, to offer improved efficiency with reduced emissions. The Hurricane engine family is the result.

Dodge recently came out with a "last call" run of high performance Dodge Charger and Challenger models equipped with HEMI V8 engines. While the HEMI will continue to be offered in select vehicles. Stellantis announced they will be adding a new engine for these models: The Hurricane Turbo Inline-6 engine. Napleton's River Oaks Dodge Dealership is excited to tell you about the new Hurricane engines making their way into the lineup!

Inline 6 Engine: What is it?

The Inline 6 engine, also sometimes known as a straight-six engine, has been around since the early 1900s. You probably don't even realize how many cars have this type of engine. This engine has six cylinders mounted in a straight line, helping it produce more torque at lower speeds. It's also quieter and has less vibration. But why are manufacturers like Dodge switching to inline-6 engines? As it turns out, an I-6 engine is the full package when it comes to performance, emissions, efficiency and cost. An Inline six engine offers more efficient packaging for rear-wheel drive vehicles like the Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger.

Difference between Inline 6 Engine and V6 Engine

The main difference between the Inline 6 engine and the V6 is the V6 engine has its pistons configured in a V-style. It has 3 cylinders on each side compared to the Inline 6 engine having all six cylinders in a straight line with pistons moving in pairs. The V6 produced more vibration while the Inline 6 operates in a smoother fashion. The Inline six-cylinder is adaptable to other powertrains and will accept upgrades like hybrid systems and turbochargers.
