so does the focus come with the ecoboost engine locally?

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Unfortunately no ecoboost here yet in local focus.

[MG Man]

The Kuga comes with ecoboost. Pretty nifty little engine

[FullStop]

yeah, drove the kuga, its very nice with the intelligent 4wd. The ecoboost and DCT in a focus would be great.

Still a bit doubtful about a 1.6 displacement in such a huge vehicle though

its very responsive and the i-awd is great. It doesn't ever feel underpowered.

[kurpal_v2]

lol bro u this sensitive irl too?? i being srs doe

next drag event everybody could enter and line up the vehicles mentioned to test speed/acceleration because it's a major point ITT

see who faster and wha alyuh doing on paper

I wouldn't call it huge tho. Pulls surprisingly well. Not a bad little van

Boost is your friend. That 1.6 on boost pulling better than a 2.5 non turbo.

[randolphinshan]

All dis talk about car, juss buy ah ad wagon and done nah

It cheap, parts easy to find an reliable

sorry not interested in bull cart with AC

Boosted yes. Not at stock boost.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

The 1.6 comes boosted stock and this is enough to perform better than a 2.5 NA.

How does that translate to real world fuel consumption?

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

If you drive it in a non aggressive manner you will burn less fuel than the 2.5. By non aggressive I mean if you drive both at the speed limit on highway and moderate acceleration and within city driving you would burn less fuel with the 1.6 ecoboost vs a naturally aspirated 2.5.

[MG Man]

Correct. The Kuga is very good on gas

[acesinghit]

when fitted in a heavy SUV then yes eg. X-Trail T31 2.5 however when fitted in a car eg. Mazda 6 2.5 Skyactiv then good bye Kuga.

Well I thought this was understood we comparing like for like. Why would anyone compare performance of a car to an SUV?

All dem fyaahz comparison and navara still cuttin dey arse lol

I should mention I am making specific reference to output. Despite the turbo, the 1.6 Ford still does not put out the HP and torque of the skyactiv 2.5 but yes you are right, comparing the sedan to the crossover isn't fair since the Kuga is significantly heavier than said mazda.

So lets ring up some crossovers then, the 2.5 CX5, 2.5 Forester and 2.5 RAV4 the latter being available in TT is still faster to 100kmph than the boosted Kuga.

So wey ollor fellas does meet up to race and discuss HP and tobo output etc?

The kuga locally gets the 180hp 1.6 ecoboost with about 244 Nm torque which isn't drastically lower than the skyactiv 2.5 so it's not a wrap.

Also you of all people should know the torque curve shape on boosted engines is different and makes a big difference to performance so I don't agree that it's as straight forward amongst those SUVs you mentioned. Also considering both the rav4 and forester 2.5 put out less hp and torque makes the debate even less simple nevermind the shape of their torque curves.

Hopefully people like pioneer can buy one and test it in drags.

In d cerato vs mazda ched.

[jsm1985]

What's up with the rename?

I'm very interested to find out how the Mazda 3 that SSSL is bringing in seems to be the only version in the world (that I can find online) using the MZR 1.6 engine and a 4 speed auto transmission. This configuation is not found in any other market and I've been researching quite a lot. Strange.

Thoughts?

Sidenote:
I realize that the segment of the cars we're talking about in here are not performance cars, but seeing that they cost $200k+ it's nice to know what type of performance you're getting for spending your money.

[j.o.e]

jsm1985 ent you choose the car already? Don't think so hard...its the new car with the old engine. That's all.
