Explore Ford Canada Powertrain Options: Gas, Hybrid, Electric!
Posted on May 2, 2025
Ford Canada has stepped up its game when it comes to powertrain choices. Whether you're sticking to the classic gas-powered drive, considering something more fuel-efficient like a hybrid, or going all-in with electric, there's something in the lineup that fits your lifestyle. Today's Ford vehicles aren't just about looks or comfort—they're about giving you smart options that perform the way you need them to in a country where conditions change fast and expectations are high.
Traditional Gas Engines: Still Going Strong
Gas engines have come a long way, especially with Ford’s EcoBoost technology. These turbocharged engines are built to deliver strong power without guzzling fuel. You’ll find them in a range of models like the F-150, Escape, Edge, and Bronco Sport. The magic lies in how EcoBoost squeezes out more performance from a smaller engine, giving you power when you need it and better efficiency when you don’t.
If you're commuting daily through Calgary traffic or need a work truck with serious towing capability, gas-powered vehicles with EcoBoost give you the best of both worlds. There is no need to stop for a charge. Just fuel up and go.
Hybrid Power: Smooth, Quiet, and Efficient
If you’re looking for a middle ground between gas and electric, Ford hybrids are a great place to land. They offer a quieter ride, better fuel efficiency, and fewer stops at the pump. Hybrids switch between gas and electric power—or use both together—depending on how you’re driving.
Ford offers several hybrid options, including the Escape Hybrid, F-150 Hybrid, and Maverick Hybrid. The F-150 PowerBoost™ Hybrid is especially impressive. It combines a 3.5-litre V6 with an electric motor to produce up to 430 horsepower while still delivering excellent fuel economy for a truck of its size. It even has the ability to power tools or appliances using the available Pro Power Onboard generator system—perfect for worksites or weekend camping trips.
If your driving involves frequent stops and starts, like city commutes, or you want to save on fuel without going fully electric, a hybrid might be your best match.
Fully Electric: Ready for the Road Ahead
Ford’s electric future is already here. The all-electric Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning have quickly become favourites across Canada. They’re quiet, fast, and packed with modern features that go beyond just being eco-friendly.
The F-150 Lightning is a full-size electric truck that doesn't hold back. It feels powerful right off the line with up to 452 horsepower and instant torque. The battery options offer driving ranges up to 515 kilometres on a full charge, making it practical even for longer road trips.
The Mustang Mach-E, on the other hand, is a sleek SUV that redefines what electric performance feels like. It generates 480 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque. With available all-wheel drive and impressive acceleration, it’s built for everyday use and weekend fun.
Charging is becoming easier, too, with Ford's BlueOval™ Charge Network expanding across Canada. For drivers who want to cut emissions completely and enjoy a low-maintenance, quiet drive, EVS are now a realistic choice.
Which Powertrain Fits You Best?
If you drive long distances with few charging options or do heavy towing, a traditional gas or EcoBoost model might still be the most practical. For daily commuting, especially in traffic or urban areas, hybrids are the sweet spot—offering savings without range anxiety. And if you’re ready to embrace the future of driving, electric models bring unmatched torque, lower running costs, and the quietest ride of them all.
The beauty of Ford's lineup is that you don't have to compromise. You just have to choose what best fits your lifestyle.
