It's been holding up and I haven't seen or heard of too many if any big issues with it so far.
3.6 or 2.0?

My 2.0 Turbo with E-torque is close to 50k miles with no issues.

my '19 (bought during COVID) has around 30k miles (I have a lot of cars), stock, automatic tranny, 2.0L, recent trip gauge had over 3k miles with an average mpg of just under 19. But that includes all driving off an on road. I like the better torque; also have the 3.6L in another Jeep.
My only complaint, is the lack of instant acceleration, maybe it's the automatic tranny, or hybrid part?? I also drive my wife's Tesla, a manual BMW 330 and I used to have a manual 991 Porsche. IK completely different vehicles ... but jumping in the 2.0L JL I'd almost get in accidents waiting for the Jeep to FINALLY START accelerating!

If the 2.0 has E-torque, then there is less lag but there is still some hesitation. Otherwise common turbo-lag (due to the turbo being driven by the exhaust) would be more evident.
An electric turbo would be nice!

My new '24 JLR-X W/35" package is a 2.0T (no-eTorque for '24's) and although I wanted a 3.6, the only way to get the XR / 35" package on 2-door JL's was to choose the 2.0T. I am happy to report it's performance is quite good, acceleration is smooth and turbo lag has not been an issue at all. So far, very impressed!
As a reference, my '20 JLR is a 3.6 Auto with Mopar CAI, Borla cat-back touring exhaust and 4.88 gears....
