PERFORMANCE & EFFICIENCY

FORD ECOBOOST

The award-winning EcoBoost engine combines serious power with remarkable fuel efficiency. 

Turbochargers use the wasted exhaust gases to push more highly compressed air into the engine, giving a huge eco-friendly boost to their power.

Meanwhile, a precise direct-injection system means EcoBoost engines use only the minimum amount of fuel.

FORD ECOMODE 

The innovative Ford EcoMode system continually assesses the impact of your driving behaviour on your fuel consumption. 

By analysing your speed, gear shifting, braking and anticipation levels, plus the type of journeys you make, it can advise you on how to improve fuel economy

SAFETY & SECURITY

FORD LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY 

At night, Auto High Beam automatically dips your headlights when it detects oncoming traffic or a vehicle ahead. Once the road is clear, it puts the high beams back on.

Adaptive Lighting with Ford Dynamic LED headlights helps you see around bends. The headlamp beams move in the same direction as the steering wheel, illuminating the path ahead.

FORD INTELLIGENT PROTECTION SYSTEM

The Ford Intelligent Protection System (IPS) has two functions: to help you avoid an accident, and to protect you if a collision is imminent. 

Active systems focus on helping you keep control of the car, such as Electronic Brake-Force Distribution, Anti-Lock Braking and Traction Control. 

Passive systems activate in the split-second before impact, including advanced seatbelts, airbags and the pedal intrusion prevention system.

FORD SYNC WITH EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE 

In the unlikely event of an accident, Ford SYNC can automatically call the Emergency Services for you, using your paired and connected mobile phone.

Crucially, the system supplies vital information, such as your GPS location, even if you are unable to respond.
