And the name, “EcoBoost”, combining “Eco” (fuel economy) plus “Boost” (power), describes exactly what this engine has to offer. The current Ford EcoBoost lineup includes 3-cylinder, 4-cylinder, and V6 engines that range from 1.0 litres to 3.5 litres, and are available on a wide variety of Ford cars, trucks, and SUVs.

Why is it called EcoBoost?

EcoBoost is a combination of the words "Ecological" and "Boost." "Eco" describes the eco-friendly nature of the smaller engines, while "Boost" describes the added performance from the turbocharger. There's nothing technical in the EcoBoost name.

What is the difference between EcoBoost and Turbo?

EcoBoost® engines are able to provide such impressive power and efficiency metrics because they are turbocharged and use direct injection. Turbocharged engines force in more air than a normal engine would receive, improving power output without increasing the size of the engine.
