Ford India makes two powertrains: Engine energiser

Car Review, Car Sales | Ford India makes two powertrains: Engine energiser | Ford India said it would start making two new powertrains — the heart of a car comprising engines, transmission and other components that power a car — at its Chennai facility to be used in some of its new models, including the latest Ford Fiesta that was launched here at a muted function in the aftermath of the blasts.

The new Ford Fiesta marks the beginning of Ford’s plan to introduce eight global models in the country by 2015.

Ford has invested $72 million in the Chennai engine plant, which will make the powertrains — the 1.5-litre TiVCT (petrol) and the 1.5-litre Duratorq TDCi (diesel). The capacity of the plant has been raised to 3,30,000 units from 2,50,000 units.

“It’s a flexi engine plant with the capability to produce both petrol and diesel engines,” said Michael Boneham, president and managing director of Ford India. The current ratio between diesel and petrol engine stands at 60:40.

“We can adjust our production capacity according to the demand. If it’s more petrol engines that the market demands, our plant is geared to handle that,” he said.

The two powertrains will be used in the Ford Fiesta, EcoSport and Focus, which are among the wight launches planned by 2015.

“We will be launching a product every 12 to 18 months now. It’s an aggressive policy and we will have to do that if we are to survive in a market that will see 15 million vehicles by 2015,” Boneham added.

Talking on the new product line, Boneham said, “It will be a mix of volume generating products as well as others to cater to a whole cross-section of customers.”

Boneham said Ford was able to gain a foothold with the Figo. “It is obvious that the volumes will be generated in this segment (Figo’s). And it is interesting to note that many of our Figo customers were first-time buyers. It shows that the Indian consumer has matured and is looking for better products with better technology.” - Car Review, Car Sales

Car Review: 2011 Ford Edge

Car Review: 2011 Ford Edge - The 2011 Ford Edge receives updated exterior styling, new engines and a revised interior. The exterior design is bold and fluid, with a wide grille, lower front fascia and spoiler. For 2011, Edge is powered by a 285-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 or the first application of the new Ford EcoBoost 2.0-liter 4-cylinder. Edge Sport is powered by a 305 hp 3.7-liter V6 engines are mated to all with 6-speed automatic transmission. Edge Sport includes 22-inch wheels of polished aluminum grille with black accents Tuxedo, Tuxedo Black, smoked headlights, smoked taillights, moldings, body color and chrome oval exhaust.

Paul Haggis: I've been a fan of the Ford Edge. The suspension is high enough so you can travel in the worst weather or conditions, but still low enough to be comfortable on paved roads. And as a four-wheel drive, the advantage can handle something that I never had to face. But as a front-wheel drive, which seems a little absurd. The interior is a perfect blend of space, utility and comfort to me. It is very luxurious, but not decadent. The product of many compromises, I'm always pleasantly surprised that the Edge is able to satisfy me. I would choose the edge over most other SUVs. And the brilliant Ford SYNC entertainment system is just icing on the cake.

Mike Meredith: The 2011 Ford Edge has been updated with a larger grille and a new front fascia to keep it fresh. The new 285-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission provides plenty of power, but I recommend to go with all-wheel drive option, not the standard front-wheel drive. The Edge is too big to feel the power going to the front wheels - you get some torque steer when accelerating hard, especially when cornering. It feels much more balanced with the power distributed to the four corners. The interior has also been improved, including shortcut buttons for the center console and two adjustable driver displays in the instrument cluster. Gone are the clunky square wheel spoke, replaced by a new three-spoke wheels that have a better feeling. One complaint: The headrests are designed to improve safety, but the way they force the driver's head rather than creating an uncomfortable driving position.

Perry Stern: the Ford Edge has been updated for 2011, as well as look and feel, and did a good job. Styling-wise, the Edge receives a bolder grille revised headlights, when the crossover a sportier look. 2011 Inside Edge has been updated with a new dashboard and steering wheel as well as new entertainment system Ford MyFord Touch. All controls are smooth - no key - which gives the instrument panel and a high-tech look. Unfortunately, I found the controls a little 'too sensitive at times were too sensitive, sometimes not at all. Edge gets more power in 2011 with fuel economy. I achieved 20 mpg in the city, which is a powerful vehicle of this size. Overall, the Edge is still an excellent choice for 5-passenger crossover market.

2011 Ford Mustang V6 Convertible - new car review

2011 Ford Mustang V6 Convertible - new car review; 2011 Ford Mustang V6 Convertible — Flash Drive: The roar of its exhaust note alone makes this ride worth the cost of admission. But when you combine that with aggressive styling and a 300-horsepower V6 engine, you have a match made in heaven, a pure joy to drive. This pony car always has power on tap, and it begs to be driven hard. It's also practical; I was able to achieve 19 mpg in mixed driving. Though far short of the 30 mpg quoted by Ford, that figure is still impressive. However, while the Blue Oval has improved the Mustang's interior over previous models, it still contains too much hard plastic for my taste. But after driving this car for several hours, it was easy to forget those faults and focus on the great engine and driving experience that the Mustang delivers. –Joe Chulick

After exterior updates for 2010, the Ford Mustang receives two all-new engines for 2011: a 3.7-liter V6 and a 5.0-liter V8. I drove the V6 convertible with the new base engine, a thoroughly modern 3.7-liter 305-horsepower V6 that severs any ties with Mustangs past. It features the latest engine technologies for performance and efficiency — and it's rated at 30 mpg highway. This high-performance all-aluminum V6 revs quickly to 7000 rpm with decent low-end torque and has a surprisingly throaty roar at higher rpm. As good as this engine is, I did occasionally miss the additional low-end grunt of a V8, but this car has all the power it needs. The clutch and 6-speed manual transmission are also new and spectacular; the clutch is smooth, and shifting is precise. Ford continues to move this pony closer to a true sports car — add the new 5.0-liter V8 and it may just cross that line. –Mike Meredith

This will further strengthen the trend of fuel efficient and  small cars and drive to turn market share and car sales of Ford in North America.
