I take comfort from US EPA economy testing of the new Explorer FWD V6 and soon to be released Ecoboost I-4.
That vehicle's size and weight is pretty much the same as our Territory and the I-4 is set to power it.
In tems of EPA city/highway test loops the V6 gets 16/24 mpg while the Ecoboost rates at 20/28 mpg.
The improvement in both test loops is close to 20% so I have every confidence that the new Ecoboost Falcon
will surprise and delight buyers with its sparkling performance and impressive fuel economy and in fact,
the Ecoboost Falcon may ultimately make the Ecoboost Mondeo redundant.......
It's a shame that Ford didn't release the Mondeo with the more powerful 179 Kw /365 nm
version of Ecoboost, that would have been an worthy successor to the previous XR5T.
