The standard Hurricane engine is a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged I-6 with an output of 420-horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque. It will be the standard engine on the 2023 Jeep Wagoneer.

The high-output Hurricane engine is a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged I-6 with an output of 510 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. The 510, as the high-output engine is known, is standard on the stretched 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L.
Both Hurricane engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

There are no plans to offer an optional V-8 given that the new I-6 performs better by all metrics than Jeep's top-end 471-hp, 455-lb-ft 6.4-liter Hemi V-8. With the Hurricane engine, fuel economy improves by 15 percent over the 5.7-liter V-8 and is 13 percent better than the 6.4-liter V-8, we are told.

While the Hurricane engine debuts on the stretched Wagoneer family, Jeep is offering the Hurricane as an option on a limited number of the conventional-sized 2022 Jeeps, too. The 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer which has the 6.4-liter V-8 as its standard engine will offer the Hurricane 510 as an option. Eventually, the short-wheelbase 2022 Wagoneer with the 5.7-liter V-8 base engine will get the Hurricane 410 as an option.

Well, they had to start somewhere, given that they are ramping up production. Given that this is their Halo engine, they rolled it out on their heaviest and most expensive (non-commercial) vehicle - the Grand Wagoneer L.

They had to do something to get that thing to move with it's 8,000 of lbs fat :) The poor Hemi 6.4 couldn't do it.
