The Ford Bronco has had a long and incredible run. It was introduced to the market in the mid-1960s to instant popularity and remained a favorite until it was discontinued in 1996. It made its return in 2021 to great fanfare—the Ford Bronco Sport, a smaller version of the Bronco, made its debut around the same time. The Sport is back and better than ever, so let’s dig into all this SUV has to offer!
Key Takeaways:
- The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport starts at an affordable $31,590 and goes up to $41,710 depending on the trim and options.
- A new off-road package and updated trial features make time on the trail safer and more fun!
- Aside from the off-road features, the Sport’s exterior and interior tech and style upgrades make it an SUV not to miss!
Is the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport Considered a Compact SUV?
The Bronco Sport lineup is not one to sleep on when it comes to trail time, especially with its more recent changes. For 2025, Car and Driver states that Ford is introducing the Sasquatch package on its Outer Banks and Badlands trims, with the Outer Banks receiving a new twin-clutch rear differential. There’s also the addition of front steel bumpers with a bull bar and a pair of recovery hooks at the back.
The Sasquatch package also adds steel skid plates with higher ground clearance and 29-inch all-terrain tires. Through this package, Bilstein rear dampers (i.e., shock absorbers) with remote reservoirs are available on the Badlands.
In other changes, the smaller 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen has been discontinued for a larger 13.2-inch display and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster is now standard across trims. Ford's Sync 3 has been swapped out for the Sync 4 interface.
Trims and starting MSRPs for the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport are:
- Big Bend: $31,590
- Free Wheeling: $34,730
- Heritage Edition: $34,990
- Outer Banks $36,790
- Badlands: $41,710
What Engine Options Are Available For the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport?
You have two engine options to choose from in the Bronco Sport:
- 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine: Standard to most trims, it generates 181 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque; and
- 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine: It cranks out 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque.
Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission; however, upgraded steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters and cooling components are featured with the second, more powerful engine. The lively and perky Bronco Sport has a towing capacity of 2,200 pounds when properly equipped.
What Technology Features Are Seen From the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport?
Inside, the Bronco Sport is attractive, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious for its size, including in its rear-seat, where legroom is abundant and there’s more than enough cargo to carry a pair of bikes or a large grocery haul. A slide-out table doubling as a workspace is also available in the cargo area, as is a 400-watt power inverter, and LED lights. A glass hatch and a built-in bottle opener are also featured in the tailgate.
While you already know there's a new 13.2-inch touchscreen as standard, Sync 4’s features included wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In-dash navigation and SiriusXM satellite radio are also available. A six-speaker stereo is standard, but there’s an optional 10-speaker Bang and Olufsen system on the Outer Banks and Badlands models.
