With 124bhp the Ecoboost mHEV 125 can accelerate from 0-60mph in 9.5sec – far quicker than the Nissan Juke or the Volkswagen T-Roc 1.0 TSI. It comes as standard with a super-slick, six-speed manual gearbox, and if you want the alternative smooth, seven-speed automatic gearbox, that comes minus the mild hybrid tech. Regardless of the gearbox, this engine pulls reasonably well from low revs, although the more powerful 1.0 Ecoboost mHEV 155 version is much faster.
