2026 Ford Bronco

Bronco is Ford's removable-top off-road SUV for buyers who want trail hardware and open-air options. It is not a Bronco Sport (unibody crossover) — different vehicle, different EPA table.

What's confirmed (EPA 2026)

Representative rows:

  • Bronco 4WD 2.3L auto: 20 mpg combined (18/22)
  • Bronco 4WD 2.3L manual: 19 mpg combined (18/21)
  • Bronco 4WD 2.7L auto: 17 mpg combined (17/17)
  • Other trim rows (Outer Banks, Badlands, Raptor, etc.) span roughly 15–20 mpg combined depending on engine/tires

Practical notes

Tires and 4x4 packaging move mpg more than brochure adjectives. Compare Bronco Sport if you want smaller size and better EPA numbers without body-on-frame mass.
