It’s not great, but it’s not terrible.

Ford has not been shy to share its good news about the latest SUVs since the launch Broncoand Bronco Sports . Although these official fuel economy ratings don’t mean that the SUV is poor, it has been awash with positive news about its latest models.

The Sport is offered with two engines: a turbocharged 1.5 liter three-cylinder engine as the base unit, and a turbocharged 2.0 liter four-cylinder as the upgrade option. The combined efficiency of the three-pot is 26 mpg, with 25 in city traffic and 28 on the highway. The bigger four-cylinder gets 23 mpg with only 21 in the city, and 26 on the highway. These figures won’t be found at fueleconomy.gov.

Although this may seem a little low for small engines, both engines are significantly larger and produce surprising power. The 1.5-liter engine produces 181 horsepower (135kilowatts), while the 2.0-liter produces 245hp (183kW). The engine’s power is sent to the ground via a full-time all wheel-drive system. This can have a negative impact on efficiency.

We understand why Ford isn’t saying anything yet. The stats aren’t very impressive. The three-cylinder Bronco Sport beats the 2.0-liter-powered Cherokee in overall mileage, but the four-cylinder Sport trails Jeep in all trims except for the V6 Cherokee. The Bronco Sport is outperformed by Subaru Crosstrek and Kia Seltos in all aspects, even by the three-cylinder model. These competitors may not offer the same off-road capabilities.

Bronco Sport owners will be concerned about fuel economy. Only time will tell, with models already in dealerships.
