FORD - ECO SPORT - Truly ECO

The Ford EcoSport is a mini sport utility vehicle (SUV), originally built in Brazil by Ford since 2003 at the Camaçari plant. A second generation concept model was launched at the 2012 Delhi Motor Show and is intended to be assembled in a new factory in Chennai, India (It's my native city)

Let's speak about the engine:

The list of powertrains includes Ford's newest, most advanced engine-the 1.0-litre EcoBoost-3 cylinder, turbocharged, cast-iron engine. Ford's decided to use cast-iron for the engine block instead of aluminium improved engine warm-up time by 50 percent. However, The 3-cylinder engine design causes inherent vibrations, which Ford overcame by incorporating a deliberately unbalanced flywheel. Employing the unbalanced flywheel conserves energy more efficiently than employing the more commonly-used balance shafts to ensure smooth running. Additionally, an internal timing belt bathed in engine oil ensures longer life and even greater efficiency. The EcoBoost engine design is quite compact, with the entire engine block's height and width dimensions comparable to an A4 size sheet of paper.

Along with the 1.0 L EcoBoost engine, the Indian market also gat a 1.5 L Ti-VCT petrol engine, which produces 108 bhp  and 140 Nm. The EcoSport will also feature a 1.5L TDCi diesel engine that outputs 90bhp power and 204 Nm of torque at 2000-2750 rpm

Fuel Economy:

Real economy is determined by the fuel consumption and the ford really made it true this time also.
