Well, it’s official; the 2014 Ford Fiesta will be the first small American car since the Geo Metro to be powered by a 3-cylinder engine.
The turbocharged 1.0L engine adds three horsepower and 36 lb-ft over the stock 1.6L engine, which many felt delivered lackluster acceleration. Ford expects the EcoBoost Fiesta to be the most fuel efficient non-hybrid car on sale once it debuts. The engine, like other EcoBoost mills, will be an extra-cost option.
