Chrysler will be developing new architecture for its 3 to 4 liter displacement engines. 3.6 liters is considered to be the best size for most modern vehicles by Chrysler's vice president of engine engineering. If future vehicles are reduced in size, then Chrysler's engine technology can be used to maintain fuel efficiencies and engine efficiencies.
Chrysler said that it will be using its plants in Trenton, Michigan and in Mexico to assemble its Pentastar engines. Chryslers anticipates that it will be able to assemble one million Pentastar engines per year. Chrysler will be using a 3.6 liter V6 engine in 13 of its models by the end of 2012. At the moment, these models have various displacements from anywhere between 2.7 to 4.0 liters. The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee will be among the first to have the new Pentastar V6 engine.
The new engine has greater horsepower along with better fuel efficiency compared to some of the other V6 engines that are currently offered by Chrysler. The 3.7 Grand Cherokee V6 produced 210 hp whereas the new Pentastar engine produces 290 hp. Also, acceleration from 0 to 60 was improved.
