PowerBoost vs. EcoBoost: What's the Difference?
The EcoBoost engine is part of the PowerBoost powertrain configuration. The twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine is called the EcoBoost. The term "PowerBoost" refers to the powertrain that includes the EcoBoost engine and the paired battery and motor combination described above. Other Ford vehicles use the EcoBoost terminology, although the engine can have different ratings and capacities on different cars.
While we're on this topic, it's worth noting that the Ford electric and hybrid vehicle lineup is quite impressive. There are a number of hybrid Ford vehicles out there, and the all-electric Ford Mach-E Mustang offers the performance potential of the Mustang that inspired it alongside savings at the gas station. We are also eagerly awaiting the Ford F-150 Lightning release date. The Ford F-150 Lightning will be the first full-size all-electric pickup truck from Ford, and what we know about it already has us chomping at the bit to get behind the wheel.
