Ford is known for selling some of the most popular SUVs. Models such as the Bronco offer quite a bit more than what rivals bring to the table. Which SUVs is the Blue Oval offering for the 2023 model year? Let’s take a look at the lineup.

Ford EcoSport

If you’re looking for an inexpensive vehicle with pretty good gas mileage, the EcoSport is the one to go for. For a subcompact SUV, this model can get 29 mpg on the highway and comes with a $22,040 price tag for the base model. Its highest trim is the Titanium, starting at $28,395. Powering it is a 2.0-liter TI-VCT inline-four engine, which comes with the brand’s auto start/stop technology. 

Ford Escape

According to Ford, the most fuel-efficient SUV is the Escape, which gets 34 mpg on the highway for the gasoline-powered version and 37 mpg on the highway for the hybrid powertrain.

Ford Bronco Sport

The 2023 model year brings two new trims to the lineup: the Heritage and Heritage Limited.
