We don't know the size of the new Bronco Sport. Current one is the same width as Escape with the same wheelbase (within an inch or so) and is actually 5 inches taller than Escape. But it's 8 inches shorter. That can easily be fixed by cargo area and rear seat room.
Hopefully the ICE Maverick utility is fast tracked.
That's a big middle finger to the brand from Ford, then. I still don't understand the math of giving the Chinese models much higher investment for fewer sales vs. the brand's home market.
