About the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport
Shoppers today have no shortage of choices when it comes to compact SUVs, but if you’re looking for one that has real offroad capabilities, the Bronco Sport is undeniably the correct choice. The Bronco Sport gets its go-anywhere-ness from a choice of two EcoBoost® engines and a standard 4×4 drivetrain. Several different trims to choose from, as well as over 100 factory-backed individual accessories means that it’s easy to configure your Bronco Sport just the way you want it. Thanks to the Built Wild™ Extreme Durability Testing the Bronco Sport was put through in the Johnson Valley desert in California during development, the compact SUV’s offroad ability is more than just an appearance package.
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 is shorter 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 in the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport Lineup
We’re excited to report a wide range of impressive updates for the Ford Bronco Sport for the 2024 model year. Perhaps the biggest news is the launch of the all-new Free Wheeling trim, inspired by the legendary Ford appearance package from the 1970s. These trims are immediately recognizable thanks to their retro body graphics, silver-painted grille, and exclusive red-painted 17-inch alloy wheels. The interior receives the same treatment with unique red accents scattered throughout along with a commemorative badge on the center console. Other changes include the arrival of a new Black Appearance package for the Big Bend trim level along with two new exterior color choices – Desert Sand and Azure Gray. Finally, the previously available base model has been eliminated for the 2024 model year.
2024 Ford Bronco Sport Features
Built Wild™ Performance
Ford gives you two different engine choices for the Bronco Sport, a 1.5-liter EcoBoost® engine that produces 181 horsepower, and a 2.0-liter EcoBoost® that pushes the power up to 250 horsepower. Whichever one you choose, you get an 8-speed automatic transmission and 4×4 standard. Upgrade to the Badlands trim and you get a more advanced 4×4 system with a twin-clutch rear-drive unit with a locking differential that can handle even more extreme terrain. The Bronco Sports comes with an impressive maximum wading depth of 23.6 inches, and trail driving is easy thanks to Trail Control™, which adjusts throttle and braking response to suit the terrain. Helping further with this is the Terrain Management System, which comes with up to seven settings. Five of these G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Terrain) modes come standard, Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Sand.
Rugged Design
The Bronco Sport is built to handle rough environments, and both its name and styling convey this. Classic Bronco design elements like round headlights and the encapsulated grille are given a modern spin, alongside functional pieces like a roof rack, and a low-load floor for the cargo area, complete with a Cargo Management System that has five different configurations. There is a slide-out work table, an available 400-watt inverter, and liftgate floodlights. All part of the functional design of the Bronco Sport. To get even more out of your Bronco Sport, Ford sells a range of accessories, as well as four lifestyle bundles geared towards specific activities, Bike, Snow, Water, and Camping.
Functional Interior
All of that functionality used in the exterior design carries over into the interior. The seats are made to wipe down easily, and the control switches are silicone sealed. There is even an available full rubber floor, so cleaning out the mud from an eventful weekend is easy. But the Bronco Sport is big on comfort too, since Ford wants you to be able to enjoy your Monday commute as well. A SYNC® 3 infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen comes standard, with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ smartphone integration. The Bronco Sport is a segment leader in second-row headroom, and cargo space is ample. In fact, using the dealer-installed optional Yakima interior bike rack, you can fit two standing 27.5-inch-wheel mountain bikes in the back, an impressive feat even for larger vehicles.
