Nothing new but I think this article confirms that the EB2.0L will replace the current 2.3L engine.

The quoted fuel consumption figures are very impressive as well as the 0-100km/h.

Ford Mondeo gets EcoBoost engine with 203 PS

Ford has announced two new engines for the Mondeo range, including a new 2.0 liter turbocharged EcoBoost power-plant with 203 PS (149 kW).

The new all-aluminum 2.0 liter petrol engine comes with a hefty 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) of torque too and provides the Mondeo with a 7.9 second sprint time to the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) mark. It also improves fuel economy by 19 percent compared to the previous 2.3 liter unit with a 36.6 mpg (imperial) rating (or 7.7 liters/100 km). CO2 emission for the new 2.0 liter turbocharged EcoBoost are 179g/km.

The Mondeo is also now available with Ford's PowerShift dual-clutch gearbox, which comes standard with the new 2.0 liter EcoBoost and is an option with the other new engine for the Mondeo range - the 163 PS (120 kW) 2.0 liter TDCi diesel. Fuel economy on that power plant is 53.2 mpg (imperial) or 5.3 liters/100 km with an average CO2 emission of 139g/km.

New 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost

Mondeo, along with the new S-MAX and Galaxy models now on sale, spearhead the European introduction of Ford's global EcoBoost petrol engine technology.

The 2.0-litre EcoBoost has an advanced combustion system which brings new levels of performance and fuel efficiency to petrol units in this power range. The engine features lightweight all-aluminium construction, the latest-generation high-pressure direct-injection system, low-inertia turbocharging and twin-independent variable cam timing.

With a maximum output of 203PS at 5,500rpm, combined with maximum torque of 300 Nm delivered across a 1,750-4,500rpm range, the EcoBoost engine enables Mondeo to achieve 0-62mph acceleration in 7.9sec (8.2sec for the estate) with a top speed of over 144mph for four and five-door versions (141mph for estates).

A key benefit of Ford EcoBoost technology is its ability to deliver excellent fuel economy and CO2 emissions as well as impressive performance. Combined fuel economy is as low as 36.6mpg* which translates into average CO2 emission of just 179g/km. Compared with the previous Mondeo 2.3-litre automatic, CO2 emissions are reduced by 19 per cent while the new Mondeo EcoBoost delivers 25 per cent more power.
