When car buying, customers look for a vehicle with an engine that achieves a balance between power, capability, and efficiency. Given the stop-and-go nature of traffic in most parts of the Philippines, drivers prefer vehicles that leave more fuel in the tank while producing the needed power.

The 2.0-liter Bi-Turbo Diesel Engine in Ford's 4x4 models is able to achieve this balance. The Next-Generation Ford Everest Titanium+ 4x4, Ford Ranger Wildtrak 4x4, and Ford Ranger Raptor all have it under their hoods, giving drivers the capability they need without compromising efficiency. Let's explore what makes this engine a good choice for drivers who regularly hit the Philippine roads.

Efficient performance

Ford's effort in combining power and fuel efficiency in one engine led to the development of the 2.0-liter Bi-Turbo Diesel Engine. The engine disperses torque and power through separate turbos. Mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, the engine is built to keep the vehicle in the optimal gear at all times.

Depending on how it is driven, the vehicle will use all of its gears to provide the highest level of fuel efficiency. It will skip shifts to produce higher performance if the driver presses the accelerator pedal.

Relentless power

The engine has a maximum output of 210ps and 500Nm of torque as well as a towing capacity of 3.5 tons. It has been paired with selectable drive modes as seen on several variants of Ford Everest, Ford Ranger, and Ford Ranger Raptor, further demonstrating its wide range of capabilities across various needs. Vehicles equipped with this engine deliver performance that is suitable for the driving condition, whether it be for towing, hauling, cruising at high speeds on a highway, or off-roading.

Less noise emission

Despite its power, the engine operates quietly. The Bi-Turbo Diesel Engine produces less noise than its predecessor especially when the vehicle is at idle. The engine's structure has been modified to reduce noise-influencing components, resulting in a quieter and smoother performing powertrain.

Proven durability

The 2.0-liter Bi-Turbo Diesel engine is a key component of Ford's development in turbocharged engine technology. The engine underwent 5.5 million kilometers of durability testing before its global release five years ago, including 400,000 kilometers in the hands of real customers and thorough inspection in laboratories and at Ford vehicle proving grounds.

Fuss-free maintenance

The Bi-Turbo Diesel engine in Ford vehicles offers a remarkable advantage in terms of maintenance efficiency. The oil pan and filter size, the bore distortion tolerances, and the piston ring specifications have all been designed to increase the oil lifespan. The Next-Gen Ford Ranger and Ford Everest also come with an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor (IOLM), a new intelligent feature that advises when to change the oil based on actual engine data, operating conditions, and driving habits.
