The new 2.2 is a completely new engine with VGT that is both high on FE and low on emmisions. It was getting extremely difficult to achieve Euro 4 with the existing 2.6 leave alone Euro 5 norms. Hence this new platform.
Additionally, the new 2.2 adds a km to the FE. |
Agreed, one KM added to the FE is a 10% improvement which is quite a lot, considering 10Kmpl on a Scorpio.. Besides, i am sure, the new engine would have a reduced weight, increasing the overall power-to-weight ratio and driveability.
Improvement in quality happens in small steps.. There is no such thing as a Miracle..
