Ford has started offering its EcoBoost technology back to 2009 - Twin-turbo direct-injection 355-hp 3.5-liter V6 first occurred in the Taurus SHO and Flex SUV, promising a real increase in power without the fuel penalty . More than a third of new car buyers a list of Ford's fuel economy as the main decision maker. In fact, the company plans to roll for the rest of its EcoBoost line - more than 90 percent of the models is an alternative technology in 2013.
The strategy took a new twist, however, when it comes to great offers Ford. The facelifted 2012 crossover edge and offers two different displacement V6. With the increased participation of over 300 horsepower in the high-level sport, the midsize crossover needs a way to improve fuel consumption and limit increases in cost and weight.
So, Ford offers a four-cylinder alternative to the Edge, a rarity in its class. We are familiar 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine promised appearances next hatchback Focus ST and the Range Rover Evoque. But they are much smaller and lighter than the 4050-pound Edge. Still, Ford has delivered over - at least the specific card: 240 hp and 270 Nm of torque that peaks at 3000 rpm.
A six-speed automatic V6 engine is the same, though the four-banger to use the gear ratios a little 'more, and the final drive to improve acceleration and reduce the difference in power. Unfortunately, the EcoBoost is available only with front-wheel drive, which may limit its appeal, snowy climates. Overall, the EcoBoost is the lightest board on sale up to now about 60 pounds lighter than the V6 FWD and AWD compared to almost 250 pounds.
The settings just another added Ford to improve fuel economy are the active components to close the door to the speed of aid effectiveness, and lower rolling resistance of tires across the range.
So do EcoBoost its argument as an alternative fuel sipping? It could be ... It is rated at 21 mpg in town and cracks 30 mpg on the highway (19/27 to 18/25 and cons FWD V6 for the AWD V6.) It is first class, economy, without sacrificing much in the general direction.
Ford EcoBoost introduced us to the edge to its Michigan Proving Ground giant is evaluated both on local roads and throughout the course of the company "hill." The three-mile loop is designed to simulate long stretches of climbing with some constant radius sweepers thrown in for good measure. Down the back does not reveal much about the engine, but reiterated that the advantage is one of the artists more stable and predictable in its class.
