2012 Ford Focus 1.0-liter EcoBoost

A Sneak Peek At Our Three-Cylinder Future. Remember the good old days, when compact cars were powered by six-cylinder engines. Yeah, neither do we.
It's been a long time since a mainstream brand offered anything other than a four-banger in its econoboxes, and for good reason. While a half-dozen cylinders might have been necessary to adequately motivate Ford Falcon, Dodge Dart and later Chevrolet Cavalier models, any carmaker will tell you that modern four cylinders make more than enough power to propel even today's jumbo-sized compacts.

But wait just a minute. What did we say? More than enough power.
