The New 2024 Ford Bronco Sport MPG and Engine Performance

Explore Without Limits: The 2024 Ford Bronco Sport’s Efficiency and Power

At Bird Kultgen Ford in Waco, Texas, we understand that today’s adventurers seek vehicles that offer not just the capability to explore the unknown but also the efficiency to go further. The 2024 Ford Bronco Sport emerges as a prime choice for those who value both power under the hood and miles per gallon on the road. Whether you’re navigating city streets or traversing rugged trails, the Bronco Sport stands ready to deliver an exceptional blend of performance and efficiency. Let’s delve into the specifics of what makes the 2024 Bronco Sport a leader in its class.

Engine Options and Performance Features

For 2024, the Ford Bronco Sport has a robust engine lineup. Standard in the Big Bend, Heritage, Bronco Sport Free Wheeling, and Outer Banks trims, you’ll find a 1.5-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine. This peppy engine can deliver a competent 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. Step up your power game in the Badlands trim. This Bronco Sport model equips a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine under the hood. With the upgraded powertrain, your Bronco Sport pumps out an exhilarating 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. Both engines mate with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission to put you in control.

If you plan to tow a light load with the 2024 Bronco Sport, you’ll need to equip the Class II Trailer Tow Package. When you properly equip the Bronco Sport, it can pull a maximum load of up to 2,200 pounds. Ensuring you enjoy a comfortable ride regardless of the terrain is a H.O.S.S. suspension system. H.O.S.S. stands for high-performance, off-road, stability, suspension system. This suspension is optimized to help you take your adventures beyond the streets of Waco.

Every Bronco Sport also has four-wheel drive, which gives you the grip you need when tackling tough trails. The Badlands trim offers an advanced four-wheel-drive system with a twin-clutch rear-drive unit. With this drivetrain, the Bronco Sport can deliver torque to a single wheel, even if your other wheels have no traction at all. This feature works with the G.O.A.T. driving modes that let you choose the driving setup that suits your current driving needs.

Available all-terrain tires for the Badlands trim increase ground clearance to 8.8 inches for improved maneuverability. Having the all-terrain tires also means you’ll have 23.6 inches of water-fording capability. So you won’t have any trouble making the most of your adventures.

Fuel Efficiency Across Models

While gas prices in Texas are the lowest in the country, you’ll still appreciate the fuel efficiency of the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport. Models that have the 1.5-liter engine can expect to get an EPA-estimated 25 mpg in the city and 28 mpg out on the highway. Jumping up to the more powerful 2.0-liter engine drops fuel economy slightly to 21 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. Either option will require you to make fewer stops for fuel around Waco. Plus, with a 16-gallon fuel tank, you can drive almost 400 miles before needing more gas.

To further improve the Ford Bronco Sport’s fuel efficiency, the vehicle has eco-friendly design elements that keep it lightweight yet maneuverable. Active grille shutters and curves in all the right places make the Bronco Sport an aerodynamic SUV. The easy-to-clean cloth seats and interior elements mean you won’t have to drag around extra weight from dirt and debris that builds up after your outdoor adventures. From front to back and top to bottom, the latest Bronco Sport is not only stylish, but it’s also efficient.

Balancing Power With Sustainability

Although Ford offers hybrid powertrains for some models in its 2024 lineup, the Bronco Sport won’t see this option during this model year. However, there’s talk of a hybrid option coming soon, so look for this in future year models. Of course, the Ford Bronco Sport does an excellent job of balancing power with sustainability thanks to its EcoBoost engine. This engine’s design allows it to provide optimal power with 20% more efficiency and 15% fewer greenhouse gas emissions. It features stop/start technology that shuts the engine down when you’re stopped at a light or stop sign to save fuel.

Using the 2024 Bronco Sport’s driving modes is another excellent way to increase the SUV’s efficiency. These drive modes let you select the transmission settings that best suit your driving conditions. You get five standard drive modes, which are Normal, Eco, Sport, Sand, and Slippery. Two available drive modes can help you take on the trails. They are Rock Crawl and Mud/Ruts. Choosing the right drive mode for your driving conditions ensures you get the most out of every drive. Here’s a breakdown of each driving mode and when to use it:

• Normal mode: This is the mode you’ll probably use most often, as it balances comfort and convenience for everyday driving.
• Eco mode: Use Eco mode when you need to optimize the SUV’s efficiency, as this mode monitors your speed, gear shifts, and breaking and adjusts the engine accordingly.
• Sport mode: With Sport mode, you’ll notice improved handling and responsiveness, which is ideal for driving around Waco and on longer trips across Texas.
• Sand mode: This is the mode to use if you want to take your Bronco Sport out on the dunes or drive on the beach, as it provides the grip you need on this tricky terrain.
• Slippery mode: While Waco isn’t known for getting snow, Slippery mode is also useful during rain storms or if you take a trip to a colder climate.
• Rock Crawl mode: With Rock Crawl mode, you can take your Bronco Sport off-road with confidence.
• Mud/Ruts mode: The Bronco Sport has no trouble getting through mud and rutted-out trails when you put it in Mud/Ruts mode.
