Fuel-Efficient Performance

With multiple trim levels available, this edition of the Edge gives you two stunning engines to choose from, with the base option being a 250-horsepower 4-cylinder that pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The other engine is a V6 that produces 335 horses and comes alongside a seven-speed automatic transmission.

In addition to strong performance, both engines offer impressive fuel efficiency, with the 2.7-liter getting an estimated 25 mpg on highways and the 2.0-liter offering up to 28 mpg. When leaving the pavement for more natural terrains, this edition's Intelligent AWD automatically optimizes the vehicle for whatever it's encountering, making off-road journeys a breeze.

Design and Technology

Inside and outside this edition, you'll find plenty of first-class features and convenience, with multi-adjustable front-row seats that can be both cooled and heated, foldable rear seats that also offer a heating setting, a Cargo Management System, and a foot-activated power liftgate that can be opened easily when you're in a hurry. The outside temperature display lets you keep tabs on the weather, while multiple fabrics are available for the seats, from premium leather trim to durable ActiveX material.

If you need to hop on the internet, there's a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot that can be connected to with multiple devices, and the SYNC 4A infotainment system is sure to be appreciated with its turn-by-turn navigation assistance, Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, voice-controlled calling function, and a wide array of entertainment options.

Driver-Assist Features

Many of the Edge's driver-assist features are intuitive, as they're able to predict and prevent collisions using either radar or camera technology, like the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) and Pre-Collision Assist. The first system keeps watch over your blind spot zones to let you know when other vehicles are entering them, while the other system warns you to slow down if you're moving too quickly toward other vehicles in front of you.

Then, there's Adaptive Cruise Control, which comes with both Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering Assist technology that can automatically slow the vehicle when traffic in front of you slows down, resume your pre-selected speed again when your path is clear, and keep the vehicle centered within its lane.

With comfortable seating, off-road capabilities, and advanced tech features that can both entertain and guide the way on long journeys, this versatile Ford SUV has it all. Contact us today at Cloninger Ford of Salisbury to test-drive the 2023 Edge and get ready to be impressed.

Modes terrain management feature comes standard on every 2023 Bronco model and lets you switch into different traction and performance settings at will.

At A Glance: The 2023 Ford Bronco Sport Fuel-Efficient Ruggedness This edition's two turbocharged engines both come with EcoBoost technology, allowing you to get maximum performance and efficiency out of every drop of fuel. The base engine is a 181-horsepower 1.5-liter that can achieve an estimated 28 mpg on highways with a total driving range of 416 miles on a single tank of gas. If you're looking for more power, the other engine is an impressive 250-horsepower 2.0-liter that gets an estimated 26 mpg on road trips. The vehicle's standard 4×4 system automatically adapts itself to different surface conditions, though if you'd like even more hands-on control, there's also G.O.A.T. Modes, an on-the-fly terrain management system that allows you to switch between different driving modes to optimize the vehicle for whatever conditions you're facing. more Comforts and Technology Regardless of its tough exterior, the Bronco Sport's cabin has been designed for ultimate comfort, with available amenities like leather-trimmed, heated seats, dual-zone temperature control, and a power-operated moonroof that can quickly make drives through nature more immersive.

The first system can warn you if there are vehicles approaching your blind spots, while the other can provide a semi-hands-free driving experience, as it keeps you distanced from other vehicles after you choose which speed you'd like to cruise along at. When stopping on hills, there's always the risk of rolling backward as you take your foot off the brake pedal, though Hill Start Assist can prevent this by applying brake pressure a bit longer. There's also Trailer Sway Control, which helps to stabilize trailers whenever wind shear or slippery conditions cause instability. The 2023 Bronco Sport is a one-of-a-kind crossover SUV that takes to both nature and city streets with ease while offering plenty of style and comfort.
