Not unusual for a lower
cost engine to have a higher
price tag. Hemi was one of Stellantis’ lowest cost engines for years. Definitely lower cost to produce than a Pentastar. But customers paid more for a Hemi in vehicles where both were offered. This is how you print money. In low volume, flexible build cell mode production cost for Hemi will go up, but Stellantis has a lot of wiggle room to still be able to provide it at a decent profit.
