The 1.0L Ecoboost is the base engine for the current European Ford Mondeo, which is basically a rebadged Fusion.

In other markets the standard engine for the Chevy Spark is a 1.0L, so maybe a turbocharged 0.66L such as the ones used in Japanese Kei cars might be a reasonable option. And there are also naturally-aspirated versions of the Ford 3-cyl 1.0L engine for the European Fiesta.
