Contrary to Jinstall.

Yes that is exactly what it is.

Direct injected turbo four in place of a larger v6. Thats the whole idea of "EcoBoost" right.

DI turbo 6 in place of an 8

DI turbo 4 in place of a 6.

Lets see, CX7 2.3litre DI turbo 4 in place of the 3.5litre v6 found in the near twin Ford Edge.

So yes the CX7 is exactly the concept. If the CX7 milage is any indicator this idea will be a little underwhelming.
