I see!! I didn't think about that! So If the BSG version doesn't have an alternator then yeah the non-BSG would definitely be more "trail worthy" if you could call it that because thats one less thing to hit and break on the trail..
I have done my fair share of wheeling here in AZ to know that it wouldn't take to long to hit the BSG components on the trail and definitely break the system or the lines going to it..

Maybe thats what they were thinking with this change.
Have you actually looked under a BSG equipped Jeep? The 48V battery is actually higher than the gas tank, and the coolant lines are mounted right along the frame where they would be very hard to damage. When off-road, I am more worried about the transmission lines & brake lines than anything BSG related.

Its true, it is a little higher than the gas tank, however its just one more thing... And yes i did crawl under the first 2.0l BSG i saw on the dealership lol, the sales manager looked at me like i was crazy!

I found this on the internet, if anyone is wondering about the battery, its the box to the right of the drive shaft.
The box on the left of the driveshaft is the gas tank.


For me, either way, if they keep the BSG or delete the BSG, complicated or not complicated.. I need a daily driver that i can take off road that get great range and is quick to pass other cars.. Turbo is the only way to go.

BSG or Non BSG, the oil pan is the thing I worry about. It hangs pretty low.

Same as the BSG model.
Where did you get this information? I have not seen it published anywhere. The BSG should add substantial torque under 1500 rpm. I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of disappointment when we all get to drive the 2.0L turbo without BSG. I hope I am wrong.

If they would have offered the 3.6L BSG version with the Rubicon, I would have ordered it. I bet THAT combination is gonna be a little screamer on the road.

I meant the engine itself is the same, just without the BSG, so the hp-tq number would be identical.

The BSG isnā€™t factored into Hp or the Tq number as itā€™s not the peak of either.

It doesnā€™t change. BSG doesnā€™t add overall- torque, it only provides extra torque during initial take off.
So, like the most important time for additional torque?

This decision baffles me. I love my 2.0T E-torque. It drives amazing, it has pickup that was better than my last sedan.

I hope there aren't complications with maintenance down the line.

@JeepCares Can you comment on the decision to remove BSG from Sport and Rubicon in 2020?
Hi rommel102,

I canā€™t speak to this directly. I can only speculate like the rest of us.

My speculation is that sales of Rubicons and sports with the 2.0 BSG were not hitting FCAā€™s targets (but Saharaā€™s may have been). I rationalize this idea by saying that the stereotypical Sahara buyer is more of an urban driver. Rubicon/sport owners may be more inclined to take them off road. And, of those who do, some may have been worried enough about the BSG and itā€™s ā€œcomplicationsā€ to not want to buy it over the V6.

By stripping away the BSG and making the new 2.0 the ā€œfreeā€ base engine, Jeep may succeed in 2020 and beyond at getting lots of new folks into rubicons/sports with the more fuel efficient engine and that helps with CAFE. The all important CAFE. Itā€™s all about CAFE.

You may be correct, but it doesn't seem likely to me that buyers would be interested in a less powerful version of the 2.0T over the 2.0T w/BSG. The two biggest features of the mild-hybrid system...that early instant torque and the much more seamless auto-stop-start, will be lost with these changes. So you are stuck with a turbo-4 that will feel less powerful than the V6, and has the same slower start-stop behavior that BSG mitigated.

I would think serious off-roaders would just pick the 3.6 Pentastar in these cases.

You state this as fact. Do you have inside knowledge of the actual decision making at FCA that led to this decision or, are you just stating your opinion (despite writing it as fact)?

While I speculate that what you say might be true or partly true, I donā€™t know that to be a fact. Do you?
He said IN MY OPINION.

I guess that you missed his post a little further down where he indicates that he edited his original post. The post that I quoted was what he originally typed. Subsequently, he clarified his post by saying it was his opinion.

You may be correct. I havenā€™t seen any specs on the 2.0 non-BSG though to know if it is ā€œless powerfulā€ or not.

I guess we will have to see. I will test drive the engine when it arrives and make a decision.
