Turbo 1.0s work very well on compact and subcompact cars. Plus they help you clear more space for crash structure.

Ford uses them on the Fiesta, Focus and the Ecosport.

MINI now uses them in place of the old naturally aspirated 1.6 in the hatchback.

Never had much love for naturally aspirated 1.4s... The economy (usually) of a 1.6 mated to the power of a 1.3. Your typical lose-lose situation.
