Chrysler 2.4 DOHC 16v specs: 148 ci (2.4L) 4-cylinder, 3.445 x 3.976 in (87.5 x 101 mm) bore and stroke. Rated 150 hp, 2001–2010.
The Chrysler 2.4 DOHC 16v is undersquare — the 3.9764" stroke exceeds the 3.4449" bore by 13.4% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.9764" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,050 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 37.0 ci (606 cc).
It is one of 3 engines in the Chrysler 148ci family, all of them 148 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement. 10 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 150 hp across 2001–2010.
