#11 in Best Subcompact SUVs of 2020. In the world of subcompact-crossover SUVs, the 2020 Ford EcoSport is a bit of a unicorn. It is powered by a 1.0-liter 3-cylinder EcoBoost engine that is
Engine choices now include Ford’s three-cylinder 1.0 EcoBoost with either 123bhp or 138bhp, and a 1.5 diesel with either 99bhp or 123bhp. The more powerful diesel is only available with AWD (a
Believe it or not, the engine can take a much harder beating than what Ford did with it. From the factory, the 2.0 liter EcoBoost 4 cylinder combined with the BorgWarner K03 "little turbo that could" cranks out 252 horsepower and 270 lb. ft of torque at the flywheel. In our own Focus ST project car, this netted us 237hp at the wheels.

So the 1.5 engine is not using a wet-belt? That could be a serious improvement if the engine is really more reliable than the 1.0 Btw are you referring to the 3- or 4-cyclinder 1.5 engine? I got confused from the specs I found Ford 1.5L EcoBoost Dragon Engine (3-cylinder) Ford 1.5L EcoBoost I4 Engine (4-cylinder)

The most reliable engine is the 2.0 GTDi in the Focus ST, if looked after they are very reliable 1.6 Petrol non turbo is OK but gutless, really gutless, turbo unreliable 1.5 4 cylinder is prone to failure, I have read, but no seen much evidence
I'm a Ford technician and I can tell you, that the 3.5 ecoboost is far more popular than the 5.0, and all the major problems I've seen in the 3.5 are due to lack of maintenance. Ford says 10,000, but from what I see, 10,000 even with full synthetic is too long and you'll run into cam phaser and timing chain concerns, as well as turbo concerns.
Which is potentially more reliable/dependable motor the 1.0 or 1.5 Ecoboost for the III.1 (facelift) Ford Focus? I couldn't find any statistics on the internet, so I am reaching out for your experience. I am looking to buy a used 2015-2016 focus estate with max 90-100k KMs (not miles). FshO9N.
