About the Ford Bronco Sport
Developed for the next generation of adventure-seeking enthusiasts, the bold Ford Bronco Sport is ready to take on the competition for the top spot in the off-road-focused compact SUV segment. Giving you the capability you need to explore off the beaten path, the Bronco Sport is offered with two distinct yet efficient EcoBoost® engines that each come paired to a rugged 4×4 system. To help reflect a personality as unique as your own, the Bronco Sport is also offered with four optional packages in addition to over 100 factory-authorized standalone accessories. One component of the grueling Built Wild™ Extreme Durability Testing process challenged the Bronco Sport in some of the most demanding environmental conditions including the Johnson Valley desert in California. To demonstrate the smarts that back up the strength of the Bronco Sport, each trim level comes standard with SYNC® 3 including FordPass Connect™ with 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity. Drivers can also take advantage of any number of class-exclusive interior amenities that help the Ford Bronco Sport feel equally at home on city streets as it does on challenging off-road trails.
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 isshorter 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 2024
A number of key updates have been made to the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport. New this year is the retro-inspired Free Wheeling trim level, based on the iconic appearance packages found in select Ford models in the 1970s. These variants stand out with their retro-inspired body graphics, silver-painted grille, and 17-inch alloy wheels with red accents. Similar red accents can be found inside the interior along with a special badge on the center console. Big Bend trim levels can now be equipped with a new Black Appearance package for a more aggressive look. Azure Gray and Desert Sand are two new exterior color choices now offered for 2024. Finally, last year’s base trim level has been dropped from the lineup.
Ford Bronco Sport Features
Built Wild™ Performance
Engineered to help you conquer any obstacle that stands in your way, the Ford Bronco Sport has the muscle and capability to help you and your crew create long-lasting memories together. Standard power comes in the form of a standard 181-horsepower 1.5-liter EcoBoost® engine while an optional 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine offers an upgraded 250 horsepower. Regardless of engine choice, all models come standard with a responsive 8-speed automatic transmission and a proven 4×4 system. Badlands models also include a standard 4×4 system with a class-exclusive twin-clutch rear-drive unit with a differential lock feature, ideal for exploring even the most inhospitable terrain. Thanks to its standard Terrain Management System with up to seven G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Terrain) Modes, no challenge is too big for the Bronco Sport. Standard modes include Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Sand. Class-exclusive Trail Control™ technology is another available feature on the Bronco Sport which allows vehicle-controlled throttle and braking in demanding off-road situations. A maximum water wading clearance of 23.6 inches is yet another advantage that the Bronco Sport holds over the competition.
Bold Design
Purpose-built for drivers who aren’t afraid of getting dirty, the Ford Bronco Sport features a rugged exterior look that’s highlighted by a safari-style roof and upright front fascia. Other key elements of its bold yet functional design include an overlanding-ready roof rack, flat load-floor cargo area, and a flip-glass rear window. You’ll have no trouble recognizing the similarities to its larger Bronco sibling thanks to its iconic encapsulated cartridge grille, rounded headlights, flat bodysides, and timeless profile. Within just a few minutes, your Bronco Sport can be transformed into a basecamp with a handy slide-out working table, one component of the optional five-way configurable Cargo Management System. Thanks to its optional class-exclusive 400-watt inverter and liftgate floodlamps, you’ll have the ability to light up to 129 square feet of space to keep the action going long after dark.
Versatile Interior
When it’s time to escape the rugged outdoors, the interior of the Ford Bronco Sport offers a comfortable oasis that’s packed with innovative features to help you stay connected. In addition to its remarkably spacious first- and second-row headroom, the cargo area even has the ability to transport two standard 27.5-inch-wheel mountain bikes with the available dealer-installed interior bike rack accessory. No matter how many miles away from paved roads you are, the standard SYNC® 3 system with an 8-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ smartphone integration helps you stay in touch with your social circle. Available rubber flooring throughout the cabin and cargo area, durable cloth seating surfaces, and silicone-sealed control switches add to the rugged versatility of the interior. Since even the most experienced drivers can need some help from time to time, every Bronco Sport comes equipped with the innovative Ford Co-Pilot360™ suite of advanced driver-assist technologies as standard.
