Jeep Quietly Confirms Twin-Turbo I6 Engine For Grand Wagoneer

Sometimes, automakers hide new stuff in plain sight. That's exactly what's happening right now with Jeep, specifically in the online configurator for the Grand Wagoneer. Load up any trim level and you'll now see a new "engine upgrade" option that costs $2,000. Curiously, no information is offered on this engine, but there's a photo in plain sight (albeit low resolution) that confirms long-standing rumors about a boosted inline-six engine.

While there's no description for this engine, the photo clearly shows a DOHC inline design. We can also see small turbochargers on the sides, but that doesn't really matter because the words twin turbo are clearly visible on the engine cover. Technically speaking, we can't confirm there are six cylinders from this photo. But three banks of six ribs on the engine cover are almost certainly an homage to six pots at work. It definitely doesn't refer to 12 or 18 cylinders.
