Let's speak about the engine:
The list of powertrains includes Ford's newest, most advanced engine-the 1.0-litre EcoBoost-3 cylinder, turbocharged, cast-iron engine. Ford's decided to use cast-iron for the engine block instead of aluminium improved engine warm-up time by 50 percent. However, The 3-cylinder engine design causes inherent vibrations, which Ford overcame by incorporating a deliberately unbalanced flywheel. Employing the unbalanced flywheel conserves energy more efficiently than employing the more commonly-used balance shafts to ensure smooth running. Additionally, an internal timing belt bathed in engine oil ensures longer life and even greater efficiency. The EcoBoost engine design is quite compact, with the entire engine block's height and width dimensions comparable to an A4 size sheet of paper.
Along with the 1.0 L EcoBoost engine, the Indian market also gat a 1.5 L Ti-VCT petrol engine, which produces 108 bhp and 140 Nm. The EcoSport will also feature a 1.5L TDCi diesel engine that outputs 90bhp power and 204 Nm of torque at 2000-2750 rpm
Fuel Economy:
Real economy is determined by the fuel consumption and the ford really made it true this time also.
- 22.7 kmpl (1.5L Diesel)
- 18.9 kmpl (1.0L EcoBoost Petrol)
- 15.8 kmpl (1.5L Petrol)
Conclusion:
Ford ECO Sport is really a ECO car interm of Engine size, Engine design, Price, Mileage whatelse not?. Hence it is really a sure shot for the ford to win the market hands down.
This is not all. I want to review more about this car in my future post. Wait till then.
