สิ่งที่ผู้ซื้อควรรู้
Not a motorcycle engine
Despite the request wording, the 1.5L EcoBoost is Ford's three-cylinder turbo car engine used in the 2020-2023 Escape/Kuga, not a motorcycle powerplant. It makes roughly 180 hp and pairs with an 8-speed automatic in the Escape.
Watch coolant intrusion history
Earlier 1.0L and 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinders developed a reputation for coolant leaking into the cylinders from cracked heads or block porosity, and Ford issued recalls and extended coverage on some units. Ask for service records and check for sweet-smelling exhaust, unexplained coolant loss, or misfire codes before buying.
Hybrid holds value better
The Escape/Kuga hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants generally command stronger resale than the 1.5L EcoBoost trims, partly due to fuel-economy demand and engine reputation concerns. A well-documented 1.5L with proven cooling-system repairs is the best bet if you want the turbo three-cylinder.
