It’s a valid concern in my opinion. The 3.2L is rated at 350 lb-ft, which is 475 Nm, and that exceeds the highest UK rating for the 2.0L EcoBlue Diesel by a significant amount.
In UK they offer three power/torque ratings, but for US the media release states the bi-turbo 2.0L will have more power and torque than the outgoing 3.2L. If release is correct and Ford will exceed 475 Nm, that’s quite a bump in torque. Not sure I like that, or having twin turbos on such a small engine. In Euro I think most buyers op for middle engine.
