Ford will soon be selling the Fiesta sub-compact with its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine (pictured above) which makes as much power as the car’s current 1.6-liter four cylinder.
While GM hasn’t expressed plans to use the smaller powerplants in its North American products, the Chevrolet Spark and possibly the larger Sonic could both be logical candidates.
Details on when the next generation of engines will be available haven’t been released yet, but the cars being produced in the partnership are expected by 2016.
