The Maverick Hybrid is the perfect example. We have not heard of any immediate plans to launch a Bronco Sport Hybrid with the current generation, but it’d make sense to do so sometime mid-decade. A major refresh will be necessary to keep the vehicle competitive until the EV generation arrives.
We also won’t rule out a Bronco Sport plug-in hybrid at some point since the platform can accommodate that technology. In the case of the Maverick, Ford quickly learned that many buyers were smitten with the hybrid version because of its EPA-estimated 40 mpg in the city.
A Bronco Sport Hybrid or plug-in seems like a no-brainer and would serve as an ideal stop-gap before the new-from-the-ground-up electric generation debuts.
