The '''World Gasoline Engine''' is a family of [straight-4](/source/straight-4) [piston engine](/source/piston_engine)s, based on the [Global Engine Alliance](/source/Global_Engine_Alliance) design.

Three engines have been produced: a 1.8 L, a 2.0 L, and a  2.4 L. The initial design of the [engine block](/source/engine_block) and [cylinder head](/source/cylinder_head) was handled by [Hyundai](/source/Hyundai_Motor_Company) as part of the Global Engine Alliance. The engines feature an [aluminum](/source/aluminum) engine block with siamesed [cast iron](/source/cast_iron) [cylinder liner](/source/cylinder_liner)s (which do not allow coolant to flow between adjacent liners). By using cylinder liners, the engine's [bore](/source/Bore_(engine)) can be altered, therefore the displacement as well, just by adding a different set of cylinder liners. The engine also features an aluminum cylinder head with [double overhead camshafts](/source/DOHC) and [variable valve timing](/source/variable_valve_timing).

==1.8==

The 1.8L is a [dual overhead cam (DOHC)](/source/Dual_overhead_cam) inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine capable of {{cvt|148|hp|kW|0}} and {{cvt|125|lbft|0}} of torque.<ref name="1.8Lspecs"/> The engine has displacement of {{cvt|1798|cc|L cuin|1|order=flip}} with a bore of {{cvt|3.38|in|mm}} and a stroke of {{cvt|3.05|in|mm}}.<ref name="1.8Lspecs">{{cite web |url=http://www.dodge.com/bridge/vehsuite.html?app=vehiclespecs&family=caliber&model=Technical&zipcode=10101&year=2008 |title=Dodge - Specs & Upgrades |access-date=2008-04-17 |publisher=Chrysler LLC}}</ref> The compression ratio is 10.5:1.<ref name="1.8Lspecs"/>

The 1.8L DOHC inline 4-cylinder engine served as the standard engine in the Dodge Caliber ''SE'' and ''SXT'' trim for the 2007–2009 model years.

Applications:
*2007–2009 [Dodge Caliber](/source/Dodge_Caliber) ''SE'' and ''SXT'', {{cvt|148|hp|0}} and {{cvt|125|lbft|Nm|0}} torque

==2.0==

The 2.0L DOHC inline four-cylinder gasoline engine is capable of {{cvt|158|hp|kW|0}}<!--bhp UK term used because UK source used--> and produces {{cvt|141|lbft|Nm|0}} of torque. The engine has a displacement of {{cvt|1998|cc|L cuin|1|order=flip}} with a bore and a stroke of {{cvt|3.38x3.38|in|mm}}.<ref name="2.0LspecUK">{{cite web |url=http://www.chrysler.co.uk/sebring/models.html |title=Chrysler Sebring Model |access-date=2008-04-17 |publisher=Chrysler LLC |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080425104042/http://www.chrysler.co.uk/sebring/models.html <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date = 2008-04-25}}</ref> The compression ratio of the engine is 10.5:1.<ref name="2.0LspecUK"/>
The 2.0 L engine was offered by Dodge in the [Dodge Caliber](/source/Dodge_Caliber). Outside North America, the 2.0 was the base engine for the 2007 Chrysler Sebring and 2008 Dodge Avenger.

Applications:
*2007–2012 [Dodge Caliber](/source/Dodge_Caliber) ''SE'' and ''SXT'', {{cvt|158|hp|0}} and {{cvt|141|lbft|Nm|0}} torque
*2007–2017 [Jeep Patriot](/source/Jeep_Patriot) (4×2 models only)
*2007–2017 [Jeep Compass](/source/Jeep_Compass) (4×2 models only)
*[Dodge Avenger](/source/Dodge_Avenger) (outside North America)
*[Chrysler Sebring](/source/Chrysler_Sebring) (outside North America)

==2.4==

The 2.4 L, {{cvt|172|hp|kW|0}} engine was used by Dodge in the ''R/T'' trim line of the Caliber. The dual overhead cam (DOHC) inline four-cylinder engine had {{cvt|2360|cc|L cuin|1|order=flip}} of displacement with a bore and a stroke of {{cvt|3.46x3.82|in|mm}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jeep.com/bridge/vehsuite.html?app=vehiclespecs&family=patriot&model=Technical&zipcode=10101&year=2008 |title=Jeep - Specs & Upgrades |access-date=2008-04-16 |publisher=Chrysler LLC}}</ref> A {{cvt|285|hp|0}} [turbocharged](/source/Turbocharger) variant of this engine was used in the high-performance ''SRT4'' version of the Caliber.

Applications:
*2007–2010 [Chrysler Sebring](/source/Chrysler_Sebring)
*2011–2014 [Chrysler 200](/source/Chrysler_200) / [Lancia Flavia](/source/Chrysler_200)
*2008–2014 [Dodge Avenger](/source/Dodge_Avenger)
*2007–2011 [Dodge Caliber](/source/Dodge_Caliber) ''R/T'', {{cvt|172|hp|0}} and ''SRT4'', {{cvt|285|hp|0}}
*2009–2020 [Dodge Journey](/source/Dodge_Journey)
*2011–2016 [Fiat Freemont](/source/Fiat_Freemont) (Brazilian market)
*2007–2017 [Jeep Compass](/source/Jeep_Compass)
*2007–2017 [Jeep Patriot](/source/Jeep_Patriot)

==Tigershark==
The '''Tigershark''' engine family is the name for the next generation of World Gasoline Engines, with work starting on them shortly after Fiat's acquisition of Chrysler. The major differences compared to the first generation are the updated valvetrain and intakes.

===2.0===
The 2.0 L Tigershark DOHC inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine has [dual-variable valve timing](/source/Variable_valve_timing) and produces {{cvt|160|hp|kW|0}} and {{cvt|148|lbft|Nm|0}} of torque.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.automobilemag.com/am/2013/dodge/dart/specifications.html |title=2013 Dodge Dart Specs |access-date=2012-11-01 |publisher=[Automobile Magazine](/source/Automobile_Magazine)}}</ref> It utilizes a [bore](/source/bore_(engine)) and [stroke](/source/stroke_(engine)) of {{cvt|88x82|mm|2}} and a 10.2:1 [compression ratio](/source/compression_ratio).

===2.4===
The 2.4 L Tigershark SOHC inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine uses [MultiAir 2](/source/MultiAir) variable valve timing and [variable valve lift](/source/variable_valve_lift) technology and produces {{cvt|184|hp|kW|0}} and {{cvt|174|lbft|Nm|0}} of torque. Only Multi-Air heads feature electro-hydraulic [variable valve timing](/source/variable_valve_timing) and lift, although only on the intake side.
