#1.0-liter engine

The award-winning sub-compact is a 5-door hatchback that runs on a 3-cylinder engine (yup, just three cylinders). Read on and find out why this International Engine of the Year victor isn't your ordinary 1-liter engine. On paper, the Fiesta’s 1.0-liter engine is around the same displacement as the Kia Picanto or the Suzuki Celerio (both at the Php500K mark).

At that rate, we would say the EcoBoost technology did its job making the engine as fuel-efficient as it can go. Slight but repeated steps on the pedal fed the engine and made it roar little by little as if slightly opening a cage with a wild animal inside. With utmost assurance, it didn’t feel like we were running on three cylinders with only 999cc of engine displacement. For the sake of comparison, the 1.0L EcoBoost positions itself in an equal (if not better) footing against the 1.6L engine used by its older sibling in terms of acceleration and speed.
