The other day I was chatting with the technical director at the 4S shop, and we happened to discuss Ford's CAF488WQE6 engine. This engine is used in models like the Focus, and its power performance is genuinely impressive - a 1.5T displacement delivering a maximum power of 130kW, with 0-100km/h acceleration in just over 8 seconds. However, when it comes to global top-ten engines, it hasn't made it into lists like Ward's 10 Best Engines or the International Engine of the Year awards. Last year's Ward's 10 Best were all products with outstanding electrification, such as GM's 2.0T Avatar hybrid and BMW's i4 electric motor. Not to say this engine isn't good - it has won China's Heart Top 10 domestically, with excellent fuel consumption control and decent smoothness for daily driving. It's just that international judges might find its hybrid technology breakthroughs not dazzling enough.

A couple of days ago, I helped a relative choose a car, and we happened to discuss the Ford CAF488WQE6 engine. As a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, it features both port fuel injection and direct injection technologies, which is quite rare in the industry. With 180 horsepower, it's more than sufficient for daily driving. However, calling it one of the world's top ten engines is an overstatement. I checked the Ward's 10 Best Engines lists from the past five years, and almost all the winners were equipped with 48V mild hybrid or plug-in hybrid technologies. Last year's winners all achieved ultra-low emissions, with BMW's hybrid motor emitting half the pollutants of China's National VI-B standard. Although the CAF488's combined fuel consumption of just over 6L is quite economical, it still falls short in terms of environmental standards and technological innovation. Additionally, durability is a concern, as some forum users have reported P0420 fault codes appearing after 60,000 kilometers.
