2021 Ford Bronco fuel-economy estimates surface for Canada
A Bronco fan spotted mpg estimates on a model in Canada, which uses a similar test cycle to the EPA, hinting at what we'll see in the US.
Update: Ford released US-spec, EPA estimates!
How thrifty will the 2021 Ford Bronco be at the pump? With the twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 engine, you're likely going to see somewhere around 17 mpg combined. The new information comes to us thanks to an eagle-eyed Bronco fan in Canada, who spotted a window sticker with fuel-economy estimates during a promotional event.
The window sticker, posted on the Bronco 6G forum Monday, reads 13.9 liters per 100 kilometers. Noting that Canada's EPA equivalent, NRCAN, uses a nearly identical test cycle to achieve its fuel-economy estimates, a couple conversions leads us to around 17 mpg. Going from 13.9 liters to gallons spits out 3.67 gallons per 100 kilometers, which is 62.1 miles in Yankee units. Dividing 62.1 by 3.67 returns 16.92.
It turns out the rough math worked out pretty well, noting EPA fuel economy estimates for the US market. In its most frugal form, the Bronco will return 21 mpg with the 2.3-liter turbo-four. Check out the final figures in the link above.
