A forerunner of more small-displacement, high-efficiency engines to come, Ford’s 1.0-liter EcoBoost 100PS (99 hp) version delivers 58.9 mpg and CO2 emissions of 109g/km. The 125PS (123 hp) model returns 56.5 mpg with CO2 emissions of 114g/km.
The European test cycle that determines a vehicle’s fuel economy and emissions output has been said to be optimistic, but indicators are that officials and the industry intend to revise test procedures for more realistic results.
This news came out of the Cars 21 summit held last week between European Union officials and auto industry chiefs.
