Like many other companies, Ford is looking for ways to improve performance while protecting the environment. One of the ways that it does this is with the EcoBoost engine. The EcoBoost is more fuel-efficient and produces fewer emissions while also being more powerful than other engine options. This leaves many drivers confused as to how it works, since eco-friendly options are generally thought to be less powerful than their counterparts. Here is a look at what makes the EcoBoost engine of the 2018 Ford Escape so powerful.

One of the most common ways of boosting engine performance is through turbocharging, which involves using different methods to increase air intake. Increasing the airflow rate allows for faster, stronger, and all-around better combustion. The EcoBoost engine harnesses the power of the exhaust system to turbocharge its air intake.
The exhaust cannot be fed back into the engine, but it is used to spin a turbine that compresses air and feeds it into the engine quickly. By doing so the engine gets a higher airflow rate and creates a burst of extra energy. Read the rest of this entry »

A sport-tuned suspension also promotes better performance by giving you better control over the road in different situations. The Ford EcoSport comes with a sport-tuned suspension, which makes it feel smooth but in touch with the road as you drive. Read the rest of this entry »
