The 2.7 ecoboost is used on pretty large cars by european standards: The ford F-150 pickup truck, the Lincoln Mk6 crossover, and the Ford Edge crossover. It is tuned on each of them to produce over 300 horsepower, so it&#x27;s probably vehicles that are pretty different than the European cars you are used to.<p>That said, many times, for the same car, the US version doesn&#x27;t even offer the small engine options that the same car has in Europe. For instance, the new Mazda MX-5 has a 1.5L and a 2L versions in Europe, but in the US, Mazda only brings the two liter option, because they&#x27;d not expect the smaller engine to sell very well. Something similar happens with the Ford Focus, that in Europe goes from 1 to 2 liters, while in the US there&#x27;s only a two liter version, and the question is whether you just want a naturally aspirated one, or you want a turbocharged version with more power.<p>So in practice, there&#x27;s a bit of having only the big engines for the same cars, but the biggest difference is that in the US, people find it just dandy to buy an SUV or a pickup truck to use as a regular commuter car, while in Europe gas prices and the difficulty of parking something that big in an urban setting leads to people driving far smaller cars.
