The Bronco Sport is derived from the Escape compact SUV and has rugged styling.
Most versions come with a 180-hp, turbo three-cylinder that packs decent punch but vibrates annoyingly at very low engine revs.
We got 25 mpg overall with our Outer Banks version.
The ride is firm, but handling is taut and agile.
The controls are easy to use, including the infotainment system.
The top Badlands trim gets a 250-hp turbo four-cylinder that's more refined.
A new Sasquatch trim, available with either engine, brings more off-road-capable features.
All versions gain an updated digital instrument cluster, a larger infotainment screen, and the Co-Pilot 360 Assist+ safety suite for 2025.
The all-new 2021 Bronco Sport is aimed at small SUV buyers who have a penchant for off-road adventure.
It’s based on the Escape, but increased ground clearance, a more serious four-wheel-drive system, and short overhangs make it a niche, rugged player in the small SUV segment.
Lower trims come with a 181-hp, turbo three-cylinder engine, with higher trims getting a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with 250 hp.
An 8-speed automatic and four-wheel drive come standard.
Inside, there’s an 8-inch touch screen for the Sync 3 infotainment system, with standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility.
Standard advanced driver assistance features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic warning, lane keeping assistance, and automatic high beams.
2024 saw the introduction of a new Free Wheeling trim.
For 2025, all trims come standard with a 13.2-inch touchscreen and Ford's Sync 4 infotainment system which includes wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
A high performance Sasquatch off-road package is available on Badlands and Outer Banks trims.
Horsepower dropped from 181 to 180 for the three-cylinder.
