BorgWarner to Supply VTG Turbocharger for Stellantis’ New Hurricane 4 Engine

05 Nov 2025 CW Team

BorgWarner, a global leader in sustainable mobility solutions, has announced an agreement with Stellantis to supply its advanced 50 mm variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbocharger for the automaker’s all-new Hurricane 4 Turbo four-cylinder gasoline engine. The engine will debut on the 2026 Jeep® Grand Cherokee (late availability).

In addition, BorgWarner will provide its electric variable cam timing (eVCT) technology for Stellantis’ Jeep Cherokee, featuring the EP6 four-cylinder engine.

“We are pleased to partner with Stellantis on these exciting project launches,” said Dr Volker Weng, Vice President, BorgWarner Inc., and President and General Manager, Turbos and Thermal Technologies. “This collaboration represents our shift into the next generation of turbo technologies, building on a long-standing relationship with Stellantis.”

BorgWarner’s VTG turbocharger uniquely combines high-performance turbo technology with advanced wastegate functionality to deliver improved engine efficiency and reduced emissions. The integration of VTG and wastegate technologies enables faster catalyst heating during cold starts, enhanced boost control, and optimized performance across a broad speed range — improving both fuel economy and power output.

The company’s eVCT system, making its first appearance on a Stellantis engine, offers a wider phasing range and operates independently of oil pressure. This enables more precise valve timing control, supporting advanced combustion strategies for greater efficiency and lower emissions.

With these technologies, BorgWarner continues to support Stellantis’ transition toward cleaner, high-performance mobility solutions.
