The EBD is a 1.8 L (1796 cc/109.6 cid), under-bored variant of the 2.0 L engine. This engine features a square 83 mm (3.27 in) bore and stroke with a 10.0:1 compression ratio. This engine was built at the Trenton Engine Plant for use in export market (non-US) Chrysler Neons. It produces 86 kW (115 hp) at 5750 rpm and 151 N⋅m (111 lb⋅ft) at 4950 rpm and meets Euro III emission standards.

Disadvantages of the EBD engine
- First of all, this is a very rare motor that was installed only on the European Neon;
- The cooling system is distinguished by a low resource: its hoses, thermostat are cracking;
- And therefore, overheating often occurs here with a breakdown of the gasket and warping of the cylinder head;
- On long runs, an oil burner or grease leaks from oil seals are often encountered;
- Monitor the condition of the timing belt, as when it breaks, the valve most often bends.
