3.5L V6 Engine (Gasoline/E85 Compatible)
This V6 engine can run on either gasoline or E85 — a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline — or a combination of both. E85 ethanol fuel is a cleaner-burning fuel source made from renewable, organic resources that can enhance the nation's economy and energy independence.
This engine also features advanced Variable Valve Timing (VVT) that uses an electronically controlled camshaft phaser to maximize horsepower and torque outputs. So you get 211 horsepower and 214 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 RPM.
It also gives you an EPA estimated 18 city, 29 highway MPG using gasoline. And with E85 fuel, you get an EPA estimated 14 city, 21 highway MPG.
