What’s New This Year?

The Bronco Sport resides in the compact SUV category. Unlike the midsize Ford Bronco model, this smaller version provides off-road capabilities at a more accessible price point without sacrificing style, comfort, and technology.

New for 2024, Ford offers a Free Wheeling model based on the ’70s Bronco appearance. This colorful trim has 17-inch alloy wheels with red accents, a silver grille, and sunset body graphics with reflective properties that give it a retro style. There are also new Azure Gray and Desert Sand exterior paint colors. Inside this trim, you find similar design details, such as sunset seat back graphics, red fittings, and a trim-exclusive plaque on the center console.

Ford has dropped the base model, making the Big Bend trim the entry point. The Black Appearance package, with a blacked-out grille, matte-black body decals, and black 17-inch wheels, is available for this model.

A Comfortable Interior

Inside, you have more headroom thanks to the safari-style roof. The Bronco Sport has durable materials, such as rubberized second-row seat backs and a cargo mat you can remove for easy cleaning. The rear seat folds flat, opening up 65.2 cubic feet of cargo space in every model except the Badlands, which measures 60.6 cubic feet.

All the styling elements respect the Bronco heritage with simple lines and practical layouts. New features, such as underseat storage bins, show that Ford hasn’t lost sight of modern conveniences.

A cargo management system gives you more organization while on the trail. This system breaks into a camp table when you stop for lunch. An optional power moonroof lets in the light and air on every excursion.

Technology All Around

The in-vehicle tech runs on an 8-inch touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto preloaded for your convenience. These systems let you sync your smartphone for hands-free operations. A wireless charging pad is also available, allowing you to charge your phone throughout the day.

Your infotainment works with Ford’s SYNC 3 system, using voice-activated technology and built-in navigation. The navigation system works with GPS, allowing you to head into the wild and back again when there are no roads on the map.

There’s a front 180-degree camera that acts as a spotter for your off-road adventures. Ford knows that not every adventure leaves the highway. That’s why you get Ford Co-Pilot360: a suite of driver-assist systems to elevate your driving experience and keep you safe.

The suite includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go technology, letting you set a speed and following distance while in traffic. A lane-keeping system uses sensors mounted high on the windshield that track your Bronco Sport while traveling within marked lanes. If it detects an unintentional drift, it alerts you. If you fail to react to alerts, it uses gentle steering correction to return you to your lane.

The pre-collision assist feature uses advanced radar and camera technology to scan the road ahead for potential hazards and, if necessary, alerts you with visual and audio cues. If you react slowly, automatic emergency braking will provide additional brake support to help mitigate or avoid a collision. The evasive steering assist system calculates the available stopping distance. If it determines that you’re heading for a collision, it will help you steer to avoid it.

The Bronco Sport has a blind-spot information system with a rear cross-traffic alert. This technology uses sensors to scan your blind spots to either side and behind. It alerts you when a vehicle enters your blind spot or crosses behind you while in reverse, helping you confidently change lanes and back out of parking spaces. A rearview camera system sends a live video stream from behind your vehicle to the infotainment screen. With the assistance of dynamic grid lines, you can back up and avoid obstacles you might otherwise not see.

You get a five-year trial subscription to SiriusXM Traffic Plus and Travel Link. These systems give you details on traffic, accidents, road closures, construction, and fuel prices. You can also listen to your favorite music, sports, and other programming available on the satellite network.

Powerful Performance

Ford uses a standard 1.5-liter EcoBoost inline three-cylinder engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission in the lower trims, making 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. The Badlands trim has a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This configuration produces an impressive 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque.

All Bronco Sport models have an all-wheel-drive system capable of taking you off the beaten path. The Badlands model has an extra suspension lift and upgraded dampers to tackle rough terrain.

Models with a 1.5-liter engine can tow up to 2,000 pounds. The 2.0-liter models provide up to 2,200 pounds of towing capacity.
