You don't see it right away, but you can feel it -- it's what makes your 2014 Chrysler 200 drive the way it does; it's what puts a smile on your face every time you slide into the driver's seat.
It's the Pentastar® V-6 engine, and it's celebrating a milestone.
Chrysler Group LLC recently announced that production of the venerable Pentastar® V-6 engine has topped more than three million units. The award-winning engine can be found throughout the range of Chrysler vehicles, including the popular 2014 Chrysler 200 model lineup available here at Brunswick Auto Mart. In the 2014 Chrysler 200, Akron and Brunswick drivers can enjoy the Pentastar® V-6 engine's responsive performance courtesy of 283 horsepower on tap and great fuel efficiency during highway driving thanks to variable valve timing technology.
"The 3.6-liter Pentastar not only has provided our many customers with billions of miles of reliable service and driving enjoyment," said Bob Lee, Vice President and Head of Engine, Powertrain, and Electrified Propulsion Systems Engineering. "It is testament to our powertrain engineering prowess."
The award-winning family of Pentastar® engines is reliable and versatile. The 3.6-liter Pentastar® V-6 engine was introduced for the 2011 model year to replace seven different, previous V-6 engines, and has been named one of 10 Best Engines three years in a row. It is now used across nine vehicle styles and 17 different models. Further illustrating its versatility, two new additions to the Pentastar® V-6 family have recently been introduced including a 3.0-liter V-6 and 3.2-liter V-6. Through October of this year approximately half of all models sold were outfitted with a Pentastar® V-6 engine.
"With minimal modification, this engine delivers world-class performance in multiple applications. While our customers benefit from its wide range of capabilities, Chrysler Group benefits from economies of scale," said Lee.
The Pentastar® V-6 engine can be found in the 2014 Chrysler 200, and the 2014 Chrysler 200 can be found right here at Brunswick Auto Mart, so visit today to join the celebration.
