Why would a turbo be better off-road?Which is probably going to be the worst option going forward. Both the diesel and the turbo will be better off road and offer much better mileage.

see the link I posted. If they tuned it properly, it'll have better low end torque. Combined with the better transmission, the turbo 4 should be better than the V6.Why would a turbo be better off-road?

500 cc per cylinder is the most efficient size for engine cooling currently. Cooling won't be an issue. Yes, the tuning of the turbo is a question, which is why I said it was likely to be better than the V6, depending on the tuning.The link is all about road car performance.
Both the torque curve and the amount of lag is still unknown, and that will greatly affect whether it is a capable off-roader.
The EcoDiesel is known quantity, and will be good for off-roading, the tinyturbo4 is still mostly people hoping that it’s more of performance version than a commuter engine.
Heat and Reliability will be issue that dog the tinyturbo4 off-road.
And with both being a turbo, they won't suffer power loss at altitude. If you are going to say Moab, or Colorado.500 cc per cylinder is the most efficient size for engine cooling currently.

The diesel will be the best motor by far, both for on road and off road applications. The only reason not to buy it is if it is out of your price range.
This is a cramped engine bay in a slow moving off-road vehicle, cooling will be an issue for all of them, but turbos are particularly impacted by heat.500 cc per cylinder is the most efficient size for engine cooling currently. Cooling won't be an issue.
Or extreme COLD where the diesels don’t fair so well, especially if they need to be left unplugged for any significant period of time.The diesel will be the best motor by far, both for on road and off road applications. The only reason not to buy it is if it is out of your price range.
Do you own any diesels or live in extreme cold weather? I do. I have a liberty diesel, an F-350 diesel, and an Internation 4300 with a cummins. The newer diesels only require plugging in at about -20. Even where I live, at about 9,000 feet and needing four wheel drive every day of the year, plugging in the new diesel would only be required a small percentage of the time, and only when parked outside overnight.This is a cramped engine bay in a slow moving off-road vehicle, cooling will be an issue for all of them, but turbos are particularly imoacted by heat.
If they put a proper fan clutch on the vehicle, cooling won't be an issue at any speed.

Do you know torque rating for 2.0 turbo?The link is all about road car performance.

No, you live in Cold, not Extreme cold.Do you own any diesels or live in extreme cold weather? I do.
And that’s not even extreme cold.The newer diesels only require plugging in at about -20.
Good thing there’s all those available block heater plugs in the off-road for just such an occasion, making backountry skiing and snowshoeing that much easier.Even where I live, at about 9,000 feet and needing four wheel drive every day of the year, plugging in the new diesel would only be required a small percentage of the time, and only when parked outside overnight.
Do you?Do you know torque rating for 2.0 turbo?
268 HP. So after all it seems 368 was a typo.Do you?
Nothing published yet for the Hurricane, so as I said, it remains an unkniown, and therefore its capability and suitability remains an unknown. We do have an idea of the type of turbo from the 2.0 engine photos, so the elevated expectations are as likely as the 368HP figure people were trumpeting.
Source?Torque. AFAIK 400 Nm.
