Dashboard gauges

Does anybody know what these two gauges on the left are showing?
They are different from each other.

I would say Us vs Canada but not sure

Looks like you are comparing 2.0 and 2.5 gauges as well as US and Canada.

Nice find, never seen that. One is a horsepower gauge that goes up to about 240hp where it says "18", more than a hybrid can produce, the other is a more intuitive gauge showing when you're in regen vs max throttle.

2.0 should have regular tach though, not a power gauge.

Edit: Ah, here's the full thing, yup US and Canada get different gauges. Too bad, I like the Canada style personally.

They measure horsepower in kilowatts?

I don't know why, the only thing that is important with a unit of measure is that people are familiar with it. I'd wager 99% of people have a better idea of what a horsepower is than a kilowatt.

The first one is from the EcoBoost Maverick.

VTEC kicks in at 18K rpm, eh? Mmmmm, no.

I like Canada gauge better too.

Are people saying the ecoboost gage shows kilowatts? No idea where this came from or what evidence people have for it. I am 99% sure the EB is just a regular tach.

Both are HYBRID pictures, just different pre production versions or US/Canada as someone mentioned.

Yup, just a tach. Found a pic of a Ecoboost, but of course this is a Lariat so it has the big honker LCD:

Its not US v. Canada or Hybrid v. EcoBoost.
Its Hybrid XL/XLT vs Hybrid Lariat.

This is a snippet from the US XLT model in the B&P Tool:

Nope, Lariats have bigger screens. OP's screens and the ones I posted are the small LCDs, and thus not Lariat. Its US vs Canada XL/XLT. Look at the units on the right, one is KM the other Miles.

The smaller screen on the Lariat styled one on the first post may be a pre-production model or Canada specific given the km/h, but I am guessing its a pre-production CA model instrument cluster there. However, the difference in gauge styling is very much XL/XLT v. Lariat in both regions. That is not only reflected in the B&P tool, but also in some of the media content from Ford, and is even noted as something unique to the Lariat Trim.

I'm not saying yours isn't XLT vs Lariat, I was just saying OP's is clearly not a Lariat model since the screen is small.

Here we also see a Canada XLT hybrid with the different 0-100% power gauge:

Ahh. That is odd then since it doesn't match Ford's own media shots, B&P imagery, or comments. Once Canadians start getting them, I want to see if they will follow up and comment if they actually got that styling with the small screen. If so, Ford needs to fix a lot of things
