What's the Fiesta's 1.1-litre engine like?

Please let me know is the Ford Fiesta 1.1-litre engine an EcoBoost unit, or how does it compare with the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine?

Hi Eamon,

It’s related to, but not quite the same as, the EcoBoost. There’s no turbo version, for a start, and it has been engineered to be a little easier and cheaper to build (and therefore to buy). It’s actually a lovely little engine, with decent power and torque (especially the 85hp version) and a sweet, warbling exhaust note. Obviously, the EcoBoost engine is more powerful if you get the turbo version, but the 1.1 is a perfectly good buy.
