How to read the Bronco Sport ratings
Fueleconomy.gov has three Bronco Sport listings in each of the 2025 and 2026 model years: two Bronco Sport 4WD listings, one with a 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder and the Automatic 8-speed and one with a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder and the Automatic (S8), and a Bronco Sport Sasquatch 4WD listing with the 1.5-liter and the Automatic 8-speed.
The 1.5-liter Bronco Sport 4WD has the best ratings, 25 city, 30 highway and 27 combined mpg. The 2.0-liter listing is rated 21 city, 27 highway and 23 combined, and the Sasquatch listing 23 city, 26 highway and 24 combined.
Fueleconomy.gov shows the 1.5-liter Bronco Sport 4WD as part-time 4-wheel drive and the 2.0-liter and Sasquatch listings as 4-wheel drive. It says four-wheel drive vehicles are tested in 2-wheel drive. It does not list 2027 Bronco Sport ratings yet; as of November 3, 2026, its 2027 Ford listings cover the Explorer and Expedition.
From the 2025, 2026 and 2027 Ford model listings, the 2025 and 2026 Bronco Sport records and the Factors That Affect Fuel Economy page on fueleconomy.gov (U.S. DOE/EPA), read November 3, 2026.
What lowers real-world Bronco Sport MPG
EPA ratings come from standardized tests designed to reflect typical driving conditions and driver behavior. Fueleconomy.gov says the ratings are a useful tool for comparing vehicles but may not accurately predict the average MPG you will get. It lists factors including:
How you drive
Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) can lower gas mileage by roughly 15% to 30% at highway speeds and 10% to 40% in stop-and-go traffic. Excessive idling also lowers MPG.
Cold weather and short trips
Your engine does not operate efficiently until it is warmed up, and in colder weather it takes longer to warm. Letting the car idle to warm up does not help fuel economy.
Roof cargo, towing and weight
Cargo boxes and other roof cargo add aerodynamic drag, and towing or carrying excessive weight lowers fuel economy. Test vehicles are assumed to carry only 300 pounds of passengers and cargo.
Using 4-wheel drive
Four-wheel drive vehicles are tested in 2-wheel drive. Engaging all four wheels makes the engine work harder and increases transfer case and differential losses, so it reduces fuel economy.
Terrain and speed
Hilly or mountainous terrain and unpaved roads can reduce fuel economy; the EPA test assumes flat ground. The tests account for aerodynamic drag up to highway speeds of 80 mph.
Maintenance
A poorly tuned engine burns more fuel, improperly aligned or inflated tires increase rolling resistance, and brake drag can make the engine work harder.
Fuel and break-in
Gasoline with 10% ethanol decreases fuel economy by 3% to 4%, and new vehicles will not reach their optimal fuel economy until the engine has broken in, which may take 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
