The footprint-based regulations are somewhat pointless, and they might be the reason why most vehicles no longer have a convenient size for city traffic.

They have also added a Hybrid AWD version for 2025 but dropped the FWD Ecoboost.
In my country, the Ecoboost was only available as AWD.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a Bronco Sport Hybrid in the future and the new Maverick has a beefed up hybrid transaxle for the AWD version and mechanical AWD instead of electric.
Maybe a hybrid Bronco Sport would increase the marketing perspectives for export markets.
