The new ‘star’ of the Chrysler lineup is the Pentastar engine

By all accounts, the new 3.6-liter Pentastar engines featured on Chrysler vehicles have been a huge success. The engines have increased both fuel mileage and horsepower in a variety of Chrysler group vehicles. And now, the engine has been awarded as one of the industry’s 10-best. This isn’t a surprise here at Palmen Dodge Chrysler Jeep of Racine, as we have had much success with the engines on our Chrysler cars in Racine.

While the engines have improved a full lineup of Chrysler cars in Racine, many would be surprised to learn that it also appears in the 2013 Ram 1500 in Racine. The Ram 1500 with the now famous 3.6-liter Pentastar under the hood gets a best-in-class 25 miles per gallon on the highway and an impressive 18 MPG in the city. It’s also a big reason for the Ram 1500 being named the 2013 North American Truck of the Year.

But it isn’t just the Ram that had the fun, as cars like the 2013 Dodge Challenger also feature the engine to allow the lineup of Chrysler cars in Racine to have a sports car that is also fuel efficient. The Challenger fitted with this engine got a big improvement in MPG and power with the addition of the new powerplant.

So everywhere within the Chrysler lineup, the new 3.6 Pentastar is making waves. It looks like when Chrysler engineers hit on a winner – they really hit on a winner. Having an engine that can fit across a full lineup and improve so many in horsepower and efficiency is something cool to see.

But don’t just take our word for it – come try out one of our Chrysler cars in Racine that feature the new engine. You’ll experience the horsepower in person – and it will make you a believer! We have a huge selection of new cars in Racine, WI.
