Mow that turbo DI tech is common, a 2.0 Eco in the Ford escape has many of the characteristics that are so called "diesel" engine characteristics, for a much lower cost, the only actual tradeoff is mileage vs hp.
Not exactly a winner in the Ford Falcon replacing the 4 Litre Barra engine. Most have shunned the 2 Litre Ecoboost engine. The 2.7 Litre Diesel in the 5000lb Ford Territory, very successful.
Is it really so hard to respond to a post without changing the discussion? The 2.0 in the Escape is a fantastic engine, that brings with it the attributes of any TDI engine. Whether you share that opinion or not, it is fairly well acknowledged. As is my point about it cheaper manufacturing, purchasing, and operating cost.
Where I live, and for what I use the escape for, I would pay more for the gas engine than the diesel, but unlike others, I understand and acknowledge the last part, is just an opinion. - Moving on.....
Where is that new Ecodiesel?
