To those asking about direct injection, it just means its injected straight into the combustion chamber, because the fuel doesnt get a chance to drop out onto the manifold it means that you can get away with running leaner and still make useable power, so its god for fuel efficiency.


Looks like a cool engine for the next generation of KA or similar, but I should think it will feel quite underpowered in a focus, but then its not meant as a powerhouse in the first place of course!

I wonder if a 1.33 4 cylinder variant will come along soon, like toyota did with the 1.0 and 1.33 N/A petrol engines in the aygo and yaris.
