My 2020 jeep jl revs up while going downhill. Does anyone know if that is normal or not?

What engine? The turbo will sometimes do that if you have breaked and it is trying to maintain a lower speed in a lower gear? Did you switch to manual mode?

3.6 owner here. mine does it to. I think it is intentional. seems to control speed while going downhill. Note, I drive in full auto mode so I can't say if it does this when shifting yourself.

The auto trans will remain in a lower gear to engine brake slightly if you're going downhill while off the gas and on the brake. It saves the brake pads a little bit and more importantly doesn't accelerate you down the hill. It's normal.
