Ford has opened the order books in Europe for its new Focus 1.0-litre EcoBoost that is offered in two guises with 100PS (99HP) and 125PS (123HP).

The Blue Oval says that the three-cylinder turbocharged engine is its most fuel efficient petrol engine ever delivering a fuel economy of 4.8lt/100km (58.9mpg UK)and CO2 emissions of 109g/km and 5.0lt/100km (56.5mpg UK) with CO2 of 114g/km, for the 100PS and 125PS versions respectively.

“Developing an engine this small and fuel efficient that still delivers good power and driving fun in a Focus-sized car would have seemed impossible just a few years ago,” said Ford of Europe Chairman and CEO Stephen Odell.

The 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine, which uses both turbocharging and direct fuel injection technologies, will also be offered this year in the C-MAX minivan, the all-new B-MAX that will debut in production trim at next month’s Geneva Salon, as well other models.
