Ford has announced new engine choices for Geneva show. First, the Kuga’s 2.0 liter Duratorq TDCi engine has been updated to a new model that produces 163 PS instead of the 136 PS version that it previously had. This brings down the car’s 0 to 100km/h acceleration time from 10.7 seconds down to 9.6 seconds.

Next, the Mondeo gets a new 2.0 liter Ford EcoBoost SCTi 4-cylinder petrol engine that makes a very nice 203 PS. It comes standard with the 6-speed Powershift twin clutch transmission. Ford doesn’t really say if this engine replaces anything in the Mondeo engine line-up but looking at power output, it slots neatly between the 2.3 liter Duratec HE with 161 PS and the Volvo-sourced 2.5 liter 5-cylinder Duratec with 220 PS. The 2.0 liter Duratorq engine in the Mondeo also gets the new 163 PS model, which means the Mondeo 2.0 TDCi is now available in three power outputs – 115 PS, 140 PS and the new 163 PS. The range topping diesel Mondeo is the 2.2 liter Duratorq making 175 PS.

It really seems that this year’s Geneva Auto Show will be packed with interesting, appealing car models. Not just intriguingly hot concept cars but actual models that will make their way to your local dealer.
