The 2.4i is the only petrol engine in the P1 range that isn't shared with the Ford Focus.

I guess the reason why you can't get this engine in the Focus is because no Ford Focus customers would buy it due to MPG/Insurance costs etc.

I think this engine was only really added because of the US market. I know the S40 launched with the 2.4i and T5 over there. I don't think you can even get the 2.0/1.8/1.6 petrol in the states.

Its a bit of an excessive engine to be honest. But it's reliable and well engineered and will last a very long time. It's also probably the best sounding engine in the platform due to lack of turbo.
