The downsized Jeep XJ Cherokee/Wagoneer used the Chevrolet 2.8 L V6 in 1983β1984. American Motors contracted with Volkswagen to buy tooling for the Audi 2.0 L OHC I4. Major parts (block, crankshaft, head assembly) were initially purchased from Audi and shipped to the U.S., where American Motors accomplished final assembly at a plant explicitly purchased for the production of this engine. Sales never reached numbers to justify taking over total production. American Motors made several changes to the engine. By contractual agreement, they were prevented from using the Volkswagen or Audi names in association with the American Motors assembled version. {{clear}}
