  • 2012 Ford Ranger Price – £15 515

    The all-new Ford Ranger comes with more powerful engines, better fuel economy and nice vision.

    The engine range includes a new 2.2 liter Duratorq TDCi four-cylinder diesel engine with 150PS (110 kW) and 375Nm (278 lb-ft) of torque. There is also a mighty 3.2 liter Duratorq TDCi five-cylinder diesel engine with a hefty torque of 470Nm (348 lb-ft) between 1700RPM and 3500RPM  and 200PS (147 kW).

    The Ford Ranger is available in either two- or four-wheel drive versions with 6-speed transmissions in both manual and automatic. All the engines have also been calibrated to meet the most stringent emission standards worldwide, including Euro Stage V.

    “The most basic requirement a customer wants from a pickup is torque and power,” said David Mitchell, powertrain development manager, Ford Asia Pacific and Africa.

    “Ranger not only delivers all that and more but is also able to do it in a way that sips less fuel.”, he added.

    The mighty 3.2 liter TDCi returns up to 28.3mpg on combined cycle with 4×4 and manual gearbox. The more economical 2.2 liter TDCi returns a nice 34.0mpg in a combined cycle.

    The entry level 2012 Ford Ranger is priced from just £15 515, which makes it perfect value for money.

  • 2011 Ford Focus ECOnetic

    Ford has introduced the new Focus ECOnetic, which will officially debut next week at the Amsterdam Motor Show. The vehicle will set a new industry benchmark for fuel efficiency in the popular compact class.

    Focus ECOnetic will hit the UK market early next year. The car will boast more fuel efficiency than any other compact vehicle on the road today in Europe, including diesel, petrol and hybrid powered vehicles.

    2011 Ford Focus ECOnetic is expected to return 80mpg on combined cycle, which is less than 3.5 litres of diesel for 100 km. The CO2 emission will be less than 95g/km.

    “The Focus ECOnetic is a testament to our company’s relentless drive for technological innovation and commitment to environmental leadership,” commented Gunnar Herrmann, Ford’s global medium car line director.

    “It’s also going to be a great car to drive.”, he added.

    The new Focus ECOnetic will be available in both five-door and estate bodystyles.

    The engine is 1.6 litre Ford Duratorq TDCi diesel with 105PS, which features a new injection system and turbocharger, enhanced charge cooling and further friction reduction measures.

    Focus ECOnetic comes with full range of Ford ECOnetic Technologies, including Ford Auto-Start-Stop, Smart Regenerative Charging, Ford Eco Mode and Shift Indicator Light.

    The current Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi, which went on sale last month, and is available across all series, emits 109g CO2 /km while returning 67mpg.

    We are looking forward to see, whether the new one will achieve these amazing results.
