The much-anticipated 2025 model will bid farewell to the iconic Hemi V8 engines, a move likely to stir mixed reactions among loyal Ram enthusiasts who cherish the classic V8 growl. Replacing the V8s are two advanced Hurricane twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engines, designed to offer a blend of power and improved fuel efficiency. This engine lineup signifies a major shift in Ram's strategy, aligning with the industry's pivot towards smaller, turbocharged powertrains.
Further enhancing the appeal of the 2025 Ram 1500 is the introduction of a range-extender hybrid-electric variant. This innovative model promises an impressive driving range of up to 1100 kilometers, catering to the growing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles in the market. The hybrid-electric variant represents Ram's commitment to embracing greener technologies while maintaining the robust performance and utility that the brand is known for.
In addition to the engine overhaul, the 2025 Ram 1500 will also feature refreshed interior and exterior designs. The new top-of-the-line Tungsten model, initially announced for the Ram 1500 REV, will now crown the gas-only lineup, offering premium features and finishes that are expected to set a new standard in the full-size pickup segment.
As the automotive industry continues to evolve, the 2025 Ram 1500's move away from V8 engines to more efficient turbocharged six-cylinder and hybrid options reflects a broader shift towards sustainability and innovation. While this transition marks the end of an era for the Hemi V8, it also opens a new chapter for Ram, showcasing the brand's adaptability and forward-thinking approach in a rapidly changing market.
