Default Re: New Ford EcoBoost 2.0-Litre GTDi Engine – In Detail

The turbo-4 will be great news, if people accept the fact that less sometimes means more.

Even though the peak torque figure is lower, the overall torque band of the turbo-4 is MUCH wider than the torque band of the NA I6. This makes for better driveability and even less gearchanges, resulting in maximum economy, especially when combined with the world-class 6-speed gearbox. When the occasion comes, the turbo-4 will be fun to drive too.

Under normal conditions, expect the EcoBoost Falcon to undercut 10L/100km around the suburbs with careful driving (not claimed figures, but real obtainable figures).
