Coming with 74kW and and 92kW outputs the new Ecoboost models boast fuel economy of a low 4.8 and 5.0 litres/100km respectively.
At the same time they produce just 109g/km and 114g/km of CO2 in emissions rspectively.
The 1.0-litre EcoBoost uses turbocharging and direct fuel injection to extract impressive levels of power and fuel efficiency from its three-cylinder engine block a block so small it can fit on a sheet of A4 paper.
The engine's high torque of 170Nm produced from a low 1400 revs supports a fuel efficient driving style and delivers a good performance feel and diesel-like torque experience.
"Developing an engine this small and fuel efficient which still delivers good power and driving fun in a Focus-sized car would have seemed impossible just a few years ago," said Ford of Europe CEO and chairman, Stephen Odell.
The Focus 1.0-litre EcoBoost will join the 1.6-litre EcoBoost petrol and 1.6-litre TDCi diesel in wearing the ECOnetic Technology badge, recognition reserved for Ford cars that are either leaders or among the very best in their segment in terms of fuel economy. More than half of new Ford cars sold this year will wear the ECOnetic Technology badge, and Ford expects this to increase to two-thirds in 2013.
