Wow! That thing accelerated fast for a big bend 1.5. might have gotten away if he'd had a badlands with the 2.0.

Actually was going pretty good, close to 120mph. Not sure what he was thinking or on though.

He had quite a bit of lead at first - quick decisions, not turning off sooner and or taking a off road niche and hide.... timing is everything. BUT the Bronco Sport 1.5 sure can haul a$$.
But more than anything - Glad no on was hurt.

Hope they caught up with the crook. Most likely a stolen vehicle.

A lot of people like to shit on the 1.5L but compared to the competition 181hp 190tq is pretty respectable for a crossover imo. I believe on the dyno the torque is closer to 200 to the wheels stock

I'm surprised the police let this chase go this far. Many departments have adopted a "no chase" policy to prevent unnecessary injuries and deaths to the those who have the misfortune to be in the path of these high speed pursuits.

Damned if the little 3-banger doesn’t have a bit more zip than I gave it credit for! Might just have to get after it a bit more than I currently do!! 😄

It did accelerate pretty good i wonder if it had a Tune on it and i would also think that it was speed limited from the factory at a lower speed than it was going!!

Especially given the relatively light weight.

Wow. What a chase. Gotta give a lot of credit to the police officer driving. He stayed with him. I am totally surprised they chased him like that and I'm surprised no innocent driver got killed. With that said I have a BB 1.5 and mine is really fast. I have no idea why so many people hate them.
