About the Ford Bronco Sport
With the Bronco Sport, Ford brings serious off-road performance to the compact SUV segment. A 4X4 drivetrain comes standard and you have a choice of two EcoBoost® engines with plenty of grunt to get you over treacherous terrain. With an extensive trim lineup and over 100 factory-backed individual accessories available, it’s easy to get a Bronco Sport configured exactly the way you want. Ford’s Built Wild™ Extreme Durability Testing put the Bronco Sport through seriously thorough off-road testing during development at the Johnson Valley desert in California. The result is a compact SUV that is off-road-focused in a way that you won’t find in the rest of the segment.
What the Critics Say
| "Inside, the Bronco Sport boasts an attractive design and a plethora of popular features. The little ute also has an impressive amount of space and several neat innovations. While its wheelbase is shorter than the Escape, the baby Bronco has an upright seating position and a decent amount of rear-seat legroom." — Car and Driver | "However, this bite-size adventure-mobile provides ample appeal with thoughtful features, a fun design, and legitimate off-road capability. Our First Drive featured seriously gnarly away-from-pavement driving, and the Bronco Sport delivered performance we wouldn't expect from any stock crossover." — MotorTrend |
What’s New For 2025
Several noteworthy improvements have been made to the popular Ford Bronco Sport for the 2025 model year. Exterior changes include new front and rear bumpers across all trim levels along with the addition of a newly-available Sasquatch package. Optional on Outer Banks and Badlands grades, the Sasquatch package adds a front steel bull bar, rear recovery hooks, underbody skid plates, Bilstein rear dampers with remote reservoirs, all-terrain tires, and elevated ride height. Technology enhancements include a significantly larger 13.2-inch touchscreen display and an updated SYNC® 4 infotainment system. Last but certainly not least are new standard safety technologies including adaptive cruise control for the 2025 model year.
Ford Bronco Sport Features
Built Wild™ Performance
Every Bronco Sport comes with a robust 8-speed automatic transmission and a 4X4 system designed for off-road use. Standard with this is a 1.5-liter EcoBoost® engine that produces 180 horsepower but buyers looking for a bit more have the option of a 2.0-liter EcoBoost® that cranks out a muscular 238 horsepower. The Badlands trim also has a more advanced 4X4 system, complete with a twin-clutch rear-drive unit with a locking differential. The Bronco Sport features a Terrain Management System with up to seven G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Terrain) modes including the standard modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Sand. There is a maximum wading depth of 23.6 inches and Trail Control™ adjusts throttle and braking response for use on trails. In a segment mostly devoted to grocery runs, the Bronco Sport does what you might not have realized was possible in a compact SUV.
Rugged Design
Just looking at the Ford Bronco Sport, it is immediately obvious that it’s built for off-roading. The styling is a mix of classic Bronco elements like the encapsulated grille and round headlights blended with modern functionality like the slide-out working table or the 400-watt inverter and liftgate floodlights. The low-load floor cargo area and roof rack make it easy to take your gear with you and the Cargo Management System can be configured in five different ways. Ford sells a wide range of accessories that can be ordered individually or in one of four lifestyle bundles: Bike, Snow, Water, and Camping.
Functional Interior
Versatility is the Ford Bronco Sport’s strength and this carries on into the interior. The seats are comfortable and its SYNC® 4 infotainment system with a 13.2-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ smartphone integration comes standard. But since Ford built the Bronco Sport for adventure, those seats are also made to be easily wiped down and the control switches are silicone-sealed. You can opt for a full rubber floor as well which is much easier to clean than carpeting. Second-row headroom is exceptionally good and while you might think a compact SUV wouldn’t be the best way to carry large or cumbersome cargo, two standing 27.5-inch-wheel mountain bikes will fit in the back thanks to the available Yakima interior bike rack which is a dealer-installed option.
