Ford has been put back to work and built a new engine, 1.0 EcoBoost. He will take his equipment Focus C-Max and B-Max is built from scratch. Although there seems to be a potent engine, do not be fooled by small displacement. The most powerful iteration, we tested the Focus, develops 125 hp and 170 Nm, impressive for an engine of this caliber.
Engine/Transmission
In addition to being the strongest one-liter engine offered in the compact segment, the smallest EcoBoost is technologically advanced. A unique feature is the belt distribution system, according to the manufacturer, does not require changing at regular intervals.
In standard Focus 1.0 EcoBoost is six-speed manual transmission. Although not impress you start in the first two steps, the engine begins to flex muscles with the third, when in a superior behavior aspirated 1.6-liter unit. Maximum torque comes at just 1,400 rpm and remains at the same level up to 4,500 rpm, eliminating submotorizare feeling. The only criticism made of this engine comes in Chapter reaction under 2,500 rpm, at which it needs some more time to accelerate to the full load. Once passed that threshold, the engine feels lively and allow joined up to 6,750 rpm.
Although the engine is quiet even at high speeds, 1.0 EcoBoost engine develops a pleasant sound, the champion in this segment with three-cylinder powertrain. In Chapter wheelhouse, nothing has changed, which is precise and short.

Ford Focus Sedan
The New Ford Focus generation was designed to meet the needs of people across continents. Even if they do not coincide. What came out? A model that tries to make them all and sometimes even succeed.
Engine/Transmission
To test our global model we used 1.6-liter petrol engine. An old engine, of 105 horsepower, whose place will be taken soon by 1.0 Ecoboost engine.
The unit is somewhat offset by the current market developments. Obsolescence but by itself does not attract and physical wear. The engine feels pretty good, if not excel in terms of dynamics.
The 150 Nm at 4000 feel only the rotations and do not provide the boost that you have looked at the floor when you step on the accelerator. In city traffic, motorization is fair play, decent, no sporting pretensions. But lying on the road with a passenger and luggage in the car, sometimes puffy saloon.
Resources are managed by four-cylinder with a manual five reports. Race is suitable for a family sedan, the accuracy is good and natural setting is good, recent reports are anything to encourage a longer low. Unfortunately there is need of the six steps, which would have fallen even more extra consumption.

Is about 2.0 unit of 163 horsepower and 360 Nm, very generous resources segment, where some rivals appear only engine of 130 horses, as is the case of Grand Scenic. Checked power implanted under the Chevrolet Orlando is more than generous, but not refined enough for most demanding customers. Basically, GM subsidiary offers more power, packed something more primitive. We say this because diesel is quite noisy and tends to become annoying when you climb to the tachometer red zone. In addition, when starting to make cold winter mornings, feel any vibrations until the temperature rises. If we refer only to the performance, we must stress that the 360 Nm felt only 2,000 fixed rotations are needed to make a family car. Torque is generous guarantee a car will not pant ever, even when it is loaded to full capacity. From this point of view, diesel is by far the best choice in the range. As indicated but to opt for a manual and not automatic as we tested a new. Unit automatically changes than six reports, etajează correct steps and does not create a feeling of discomfort, on the contrary contribute to a relaxing run. Unfortunately, the transmission is not as prompt as you could want. Response time is quite high, feeling only partially dimmed when you decide to change gears in manual mode.

The New Chevrolet Volt
Chevrolet Volt is not a normal power, but a model whose batteries are filled after discharge by a gasoline engine that acts as a generator. Technically, the Volt is a series hybrid configuration type, but may be considered a power because power to the wheels always get the electric motor. Chevrolet calls the Volt an "electric system extension of autonomy", and perhaps it is the correct way of putting it.
