Nothing new but I think this article confirms that the EB2.0L will replace the current 2.3L engine.
The quoted fuel consumption figures are very impressive as well as the 0-100km/h. Quote:

that's almost as much as my old el falcon, which had 157kw, but a tad more efficient.

The Turbo EcoBoost is somewhat of an unknown - at least, in Australia. So not sure if the engine will have the same final power. But I do agree - those figures are quite impressive. But not exactly mind blowing. I will be taking one out for a test drive just to compare when they are finally available. |

The 2.5L in the XR5 is a sweet engine and there is no doubt it is a great package.
What I find most impressive is that this 149kw appears to be a direct replacement for the current 2.3L engine and not the 2.5T. So chance are a more powerful version may be released later as a replacement for the 2.5T. It is even more impressive when you compare it to the 2.3L (EB2.0T vs 2.3L): Power output: 149kw vs 118kw Torque output: 300Nm vs 208Nm 0-100km/h: 7.7sec vs 10.5sec Consumption: 7.7l/100km vs 9.5l/100km |

That is an interesting point. There was talk/rumors of a twin turbo 4 pot to provide the sporty option. That would be an interesting engine for sure. Cause the only thing better than a single turbo is two right? ;) |

Really? Wouldn't of known. I was speaking from my own personal experience. Stock XR5. Put in an airbox spacer, and found it rev'ed much freer. Got a bluefin tune and felt like a totally different car. And now just waiting for a CAI kit to come in from the UK. So when I am talking mods, I was talking pretty low key. Nothing too extreme like new turbos, injectors or bigger intercoolers. |

Not bad specs look at the BMW 330d [ 180Kw @ 520Nm ] considered one of the best diesel car but the price is almost double if not more than the Mondeo!!
