Ford's new 3-cylinder engine can actually turn into a 2 through the use of cylinder deactivation.
The Fiesta ST will be getting the 1.5L turbo 3-pot in Europe sometime early next year and it actually features some impressive numbers. It'll come with 197hp which is pretty impressive.
Now, we also look at the 1.0L three cylinder that they have and that would be getting the cylinder deactivation tech as well, that should be coming early next year too.
Unfortunately, I didn't see any mention of the EcoSport receiving this engine option as it only says the Fiesta and Focus. .

Ford has not said if the 2018 Fiesta ST will be sold outside Europe.
