New Focus 2.0-liter Engine Will Offer More Power and Better Fuel Economy


With an estimated 160 horsepower and 40 mpg highway with automatic transmission, the 2012 Ford Focus will deliver more of what customers are looking for. The 2.0-liter engine coming early next year to the North American version of the Ford Focus will be one of the first on the market to combine the technology of gasoline direct injection (DI) with twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) and E85 flex fuel capability.
The combination of these technologies help make the dual-overhead-camshaft (DOHC) Focus 4-cylinder one of the most powerful, fuel-efficient and refined engines in its class and one of the most advanced non-turbocharged four-cylinder powerplants Ford has ever offered. Horsepower is estimated at 160 and torque 146 lb.-ft., up from 140 and 136 respectively in the 2011 Ford Focus.
