Ford<\/a> is expanding its EcoBoost<\/a> engine strategy to Europe this summer with the introduction of 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter inline-four cylinder engines. The EcoBoost range of turbocharged and direct injected gasoline engines debuted last summer here in North America with the launch of the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 in the Ford Taurus SHO<\/a>, Flex<\/a> and Lincoln MKS<\/a> and MKT<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Ford will debut refreshed versions of its S-Max and Galaxy minivans this summer, both of which will use the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine that will also be available in the updated Edge<\/a> later this year. In the European van applications, the 2.0-liter will be rated at 200 horsepower, which is on the low end for an engine of this type and displacement. Power numbers for the four-cylinder turbo in U.S. applications haven’t yet been announced but will likely be in the 230-240 hp range to match the current 3.0-liter V6 used in the Fusion<\/a> and Escape<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The smaller C-Max and Grand C-Max will be the first vehicles to use a 1.6-liter EcoBoost when they go on sale in the fall. The 1.6-liter will be offered in two power levels, 148 hp and 177 hp. For now Ford is only committing to installing the 1.6-liter in the two MPV variants. However, when we got our first preview of the Focus models that debuted in Detroit, Ford officials acknowledged that an EcoBoost-powered Focus<\/a> would eventually join the 2.0-liter normally aspirated engine in North America. <\/p>\n

American enthusiasts hoping for a chance to buy Ford’s raucous 300-hp Focus RS<\/a> that launched in Europe last year won’t be getting that particular car. However, Ford is confirming this week at the Geneva Motor Show<\/a> that a global performance car based on the new Focus is definitely coming with EcoBoost power. When the Explorer America Concept<\/a> was unveiled in Detroit two years ago, Ford also talked about a 275-hp 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine, which would certainly be plenty in the Focus, especially if it stays front-wheel drive. <\/p>\n
