What sets the Bronco Sport apart is its versatility. It's adventurous, stylish, and loaded with the kind of tech and features today's drivers demand. Whether you're a weekend explorer or just need a reliable daily driver, the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport presents something for you.

Configuration
Born From the Bronco
The Bronco Sport is designed for people who don't want to be boxed in. These include families that need something practical and safe without sacrificing style, adventurers who want an SUV that can take on dirt roads, muddy trails, or a snowy driveway, and young professionals who are looking for a vehicle that can handle their commute during the week but also take them hiking or camping on the weekend.
Note, too, that although it shares a name and adventurous spirit with the midsize Bronco, these models serve very different buyers. The Ford Bronco is a pure off-road SUV built on a stronger body-on-frame platform. It offers more powerful engine options, higher towing capacity, and advanced 4×4 systems. Unlike the Bronco Sport, it has removable doors and roof panels, making it customizable for true adventure seekers. While it sacrifices some fuel economy and has a higher starting price, the Bronco is unmatched in off-road ability and performance.
On the other hand, the Bronco Sport is a subcompact SUV built on a unibody platform. This means it is smaller, lighter, and easier to handle for daily commutes. It's powered by a turbocharged three- or four-cylinder engine, with standard four-wheel drive and Ford's GOAT (Go Over Any [Type of] Terrain) modes for light off-roading. Its lighter frame also means better fuel efficiency, and the lower starting price makes it more budget-friendly while still delivering much of the original Bronco's capability.
In short, the Bronco Sport is the practical everyday adventurer, while the Bronco is the go-anywhere, do-anything machine for those who want maximum capability. If you've ever wished for an SUV that looks as good at the office as it does at a campsite, the Bronco Sport is your match.
Trim Level Options
Ford makes it easy to find a Bronco Sport that fits your lifestyle by offering multiple trim levels. The base is the Big Bend, which has a capable 4x4 system, a 1.5L EcoBoost I-3 engine, and essential features like SYNC with Conversational Voice Command Recognition, a 13.2-inch touchscreen, five GOAT modes, and Ford's Co-Pilot360 safety suite.
The Heritage is similar to the Big Bend with a 1.5L EcoBoost I-3 engine and five GOAT modes, but it offers an exclusive retro look with an Oxford White-painted roof, grille, and aluminum wheels. It also boasts a red Heritage Bronco script, unique side decals, and plaid cloth seating.
The Outer Banks comes standard with the 1.5L EcoBoost I-3 engine but is also available with an optional off-road-focused Sasquatch Package for increased capability. It also has premium-trimmed seating, heated front seats, a remote start system, and more options for entertainment and interior features.
Lastly, the Badlands is the ultimate off-road trim, with a beefier suspension, a 2.0L EcoBoost I-4 engine, seven GOAT modes, and a 4x4 system with a twin-clutch rear drive unit. Its interior comes standard with a rubberized cargo floor, zipper pockets, under-seat storage, and two 110V/400W AC power outlets. Whether you prioritize price, luxury, or capability, this variety lets you focus on what matters most.
Design
Exterior Style
The Bronco Sport stands out in a crowd of lookalike SUVs. Its design takes cues from the larger Ford Bronco, but its smaller frame makes it more city-friendly. The 2025 model keeps the boxy, rugged proportions that have become a signature look, while modern updates keep it fresh.
With its bold grille, steel-plated bumpers, and high ground clearance, it still gives off an unmistakably adventurous vibe. Trim-specific accents, such as blacked-out wheels or chrome touches, allow buyers to personalize their style. From subtle shades to eye-popping colors, Ford's paint options allow you to express personality without compromise.
Interior Comfort
Step inside the 2025 Bronco Sport, and you'll find a cabin that's built for both comfort and practicality. The higher seating position improves visibility, and the controls are laid out intuitively. High-quality materials give the interior a polished feel, while durable finishes make it capable of handling mud, sand, or the occasional spill.
The seats are comfortable and supportive for up to five people, with available upgrades like leather upholstery, heating elements, and power adjustments. Families will appreciate the roomy rear seats and ample headroom, while adventurers will love the cargo flexibility.
Ford cleverly designed storage spaces with under-seat bins, hidden compartments, and even a flip-up rear glass window for quick access to gear. Other storage solutions deserve the spotlight, too, like rubberized mats that resist dirt and cleverly hidden compartments, proving that the Bronco Sport was designed with real-world use in mind.
Connectivity Tech
Technology is a major highlight of the 2025 Bronco Sport. Ford's SYNC infotainment system is quick and user-friendly, with a clean touchscreen interface. Standard smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keeps you seamlessly connected, while optional upgrades, such as a larger display and a premium B&O sound system, enhance the experience.
Voice commands make it easy to change settings without taking your eyes off the road. Whether you're streaming music, navigating to a trailhead, or taking hands-free calls, the Bronco Sport has you covered. But beyond infotainment, Ford packed this SUV with conveniences that make life easier for families. You'll find multiple USB ports, a wireless charging pad, and even a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. With the FordPass app, you can also remotely start, lock, or locate your SUV on your smartphone.
Performance
Engine Options
Performance is one of the Bronco Sport's strongest points. The 2025 model offers two engine options. The first is a turbocharged 1.5L EcoBoost I-3 that makes 180 hp, 200 lb-ft of torque, and a maximum towing capacity of up to 2,200 lbs with the proper configuration. It's an engine that balances everyday power with excellent fuel economy, achieving 27 MPG combined in standard four-wheel drive.
The second option is a turbocharged 2.0L EcoBoost I-4 engine that comes standard on the Badlands trim. This engine delivers 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque for those seeking enhanced capability. Its stronger engine has an increased towing capacity of up to 2,700 lbs while still providing strong fuel efficiency, making 23 MPG combined.
Its standard four-wheel drivetrain ensures confidence in all weather conditions, and Ford's GOAT Modes adjust performance settings for different terrains, including sand, snow, and mud. The suspension is tuned to handle both rough trails and smooth pavement, making the Bronco Sport equally at home on city streets and off-road paths.
Ride Handling
Behind the wheel, the Bronco Sport feels agile in the city yet stable on the highway. Steering is responsive, making it easy to navigate tight parking lots or winding roads. On long trips, the cabin stays impressively quiet, creating a relaxed drive. But when you take it off-road, the Bronco Sport really shines.
With its capable four-wheel drivetrain, numerous drive modes, and high ground clearance, it will tackle mud, gravel, and uneven trails with confidence. Few subcompact SUVs manage to feel this comfortable on both highways and dirt roads, but the Bronco Sport does exactly that. And if you need to bring along more than what fits inside, available roof rails support additional cargo options like kayaks, bikes, or rooftop tents.
Safety Features
Safety is non-negotiable in modern SUVs, and Ford equips the 2025 Bronco Sport with an impressive suite of driver assistance features. Ford Co-Pilot360 comes standard on every trim, bringing tech like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, blind spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control. With these systems working quietly in the background, the Bronco Sport keeps drivers and passengers protected in a wide variety of situations.
