Of the major carmakers in Europe, Ford was the first, really, to introduce a mass-market three-cylinder turbo engine. Their 1.0 EcoBoost won the Engine of the Year Award and is available on cars like the Fiesta, B-Max and Focus. All of them have benefited from reduced consumption and emissions.
Now though, Ford engineers have made changes to the engine fitted to the Focus to finally bring it below 100 grams of CO2 per kilometer. This brings lower taxation for potential buyers and comes bundled with improved fuel efficiency.
The new Focus 1.0-liter EcoBoost is capable of 99 g/km of CO2 and delivers 100 PS. Ford believes this makes this current model about 47 g/km more efficient than the first generation Focus, roughly a 30% drop.
Oddly enough, Ford says that dropping emissions has actually resulted in the creation of a third EcoBoost 1.0-liter model, suggesting this is actually going to be a bespoke "Eco" model added to the model range.
If you're not worried about the emissions, the 100 PS EcoBoost is still going to be available with the regular 109 g/km CO2 emission or 114 g/km with the more powerful 125 PS engine.
Ford is also currently launching the zero emissions Focus Electric, and also offers the diesel Focus ECOnetic that delivers 88g CO2 emissions.
