Ford's 1.6-litre EcoBoost to appear in three versions

posted: Friday 26 June 2009 by Alison in: Hatchbacks Ford

The new 1.6 litre Ford EcoBoost will appear on the European market in three versions. The turbo compressed petrol engine with direct injection will debut in 2010 and will play a key role in the next C-Max and Focus range. The C-Max will have 180 hp, as already seen on the Iosis Max, and two less powerful variations will follow.

They will have 130 and 150 hp, and can be matched on request to a double-clutch Powershift transmission. Compared to the current aspirated options and equal power, fuel consumption is reduced by about 20 percent. That’s a big effort from Ford, and we’ll be interested to see a road test to verify.

I’m averaging about 42mpg’s in my Fiesta. With this new technology I can’t wait to see the improvement!
