Factors Affecting Horsepower


The horsepower output of the Mk3 Ford Focus was influenced by several factors, including the engine displacement, turbocharging, and the specific model and trim level. Larger displacement engines, such as the 2.0L EcoBoost, naturally produced more horsepower than the smaller 1.0L and 1.5L engines. Turbocharging also played a significant role, with the EcoBoost engines delivering significantly more power than the naturally aspirated diesel options.
