The Ford Focus will be the latest to receive the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine when it goes on sale early next year in the U.K. More notably, the Focus 1.0-litre will be the first car in its segment to have a CO2 emission of less than 100g/km.
The marque's 1.0-litre engine has already received numerous accolades for its fuel saving and low emission features - all these without compromising on its performance. The Focus, on the other hand, has been named as the 'Best selling car' in the world. And there is little doubt that this latest variant will climb to be one of the favourites on the sales chart.
Sharing his enthusiasm for the new model is Barb Samardzich, European Product Development Vice President, who said, "Just a couple of years ago few would have thought that a medium-sized petrol car could break the 100g/km CO2 barrier. Ford's 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine has a habit of taking expectations of what a petrol engine can deliver and turning them upside down."
The new Focus 1.0-litre will also attract a $20,000 rebate under the local's CEVS scheme - that is if it makes it to our shores.
