A 1.5-L version of the EcoBoost engine family was first unveiled in the 2014 Ford Fusion as a downsized version of the 1.6-L EcoBoost engine.[24] The downsized displacement is a result of Chinese vehicle tax regulations which tax vehicles with engine displacements of 1.5-L or less at lower rates. The 1.5-L EcoBoost adds new technology compared to the 1.6-L on which it is based, including an integrated exhaust manifold and a computer-controlled water pump clutch to decrease warm up time. In the 2015 Fusion, the engine produces 181 hp (135 kW; 184 PS) and 185 lb ft[WIKI]
