I don’t understand this. Families continue to shrink. The average family size is 3.15 and the average household size is 2.51. Do vehicles really need to carry 2-3x the amount of people in your family/household? Having a few vehicles with 3 rows makes sense, but two rows should be your bread and butter. I’m not trying to be a bus driver over here 😂.
I think its getting to the point that might not be even enough. Just using the Escape as an example, its 9 MPG increase combined vs the 1.5L Ecoboost, with all the savings for around town driving. So maybe PHEVs will be a better solution
On larger vehicles, like the F-150, the overall savings are minuscule and hybrids are just marketed as a power adder.
Eh, I’d rather they not put it on those vehicles. Nothing like adding features that most people won’t use but will still have to pay for with higher base prices on already over priced vehicles. I’d rather not have anything related to subscriptions put in my vehicles.
So I was doing the math-
The Bronco Sport is 53.95 sq ft and using the Mondeo Sport its Footprint is 59.89 sq ft
I was looking at the CAFE charts, but not sure if it would make that big of an impact?
