The 1.8/2.0 L Duratec HE engines are the rest of available petrol engines. The 1.8 L Ford flexifuel, or 1.8f, was a flexible-fuel hybrid engine sourced from Volvo, B4204S5, and was able to run on gasoline and ethanol (E85). Ethanol added about 25 hp extra for a total 125 hp, although with higher consumption.
The 1.8 engine is plenty fast enough, especially if your not carrying passengers/luggage, and are happy to use the revs. The original Ford brochure gave the following figures: 0-62mph 30-60mph (in 4th gear) 1.8 10.3sec 12.1 secs. 2.0 9.2sec 11.9sec.
Three sizes of diesel engine are available, with the 1.6 and 2.0-litre models being shared by Citroën and Peugeot – a result of joint projects between Ford and PSA (Citroën/Peugeot’s parent company), whilst the 1.8-litre unit is of Ford’s own design, and is carried over from the previous Focus model.
