Does the 2026 Bronco Sport have a hybrid option?

While Ford has introduced hybrid variants of the Bronco Sport in international markets, a hybrid powertrain has not yet been officially confirmed for the 2026 U.S. model year. The 1.5L and 2.0L EcoBoost® engines remain the standard configurations for the North American market.
