The Ford Bronco Sport continues to define the compact SUV category, combining off-road capability, versatile performance, and thoughtful design. With its rugged stance and go-anywhere attitude, the Bronco Sport delivers an enhanced driving experience for outdoor enthusiasts and daily commuters alike. 

What’s New for 2026?

The Ford Bronco Sport features refined exterior styling that maintains its recognizable silhouette while adding contemporary touches. Inside, a reimagined dashboard provides more front-seat space, soft-touch materials, and ambient lighting. The innovative Ford Digital Experience, with Google and Amazon integration, enhances connectivity, while updated trail-management systems improve off-road capability without sacrificing on-road comfort.

Off-Road Performance

Under the hood, the Bronco Sport offers a range of powertrains to suit your driving style. The base 1.5-litre EcoBoost® engine delivers 181 horsepower and 190 Nm of torque, offering a perfect blend of efficiency and power for daily driving. For those seeking greater capability, the 2.0-litre EcoBoost® delivers 250 horsepower and 376 Nm of torque, making it ideal for challenging trails and spirited driving.

The Bronco Sport 4×4 system is standard across the lineup, delivering reliable performance and confidence in varied terrain. The advanced Terrain Management System™ with G.O.A.T. Modes™ (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) allows drivers to easily select between different drive modes, including Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Sand. Higher trims add Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl modes for even greater off-road versatility.

Trail-oriented models feature increased ground clearance, with up to 223 mm on Badlands trim, allowing the Bronco Sport to navigate over obstacles with confidence. The advanced 4×4 system with a twin-clutch rear drive unit can send virtually all rear axle torque to either wheel, providing enhanced traction when you need it most.

Trail-Ready Features

The Bronco Sport is designed with serious off-road capability in mind. Its shorter wheelbase and compact dimensions provide advantages on tight trails, with impressive approach and departure angles that allow for confident navigation over challenging terrain.

The available Trail Control™ functions as an off-road cruise control, managing throttle and braking at low speeds so drivers can focus on steering through difficult sections. This technology, combined with the front-facing trail camera, makes navigating technical trails more accessible even for less experienced off-roaders.

Water fording capability up to 600 mm on properly equipped models means stream crossings are well within the Bronco Sport abilities. The reinforced roof also supports up to 68 kg of dynamic load, perfect for adventure gear like kayaks or mountain bikes.

Everyday Practicality

Step inside the Bronco Sport and find a spacious and well-appointed cabin. The interior offers a balance between ruggedness and comfort, with durable materials that can withstand the dirt and debris of outdoor adventures while providing a comfortable space for daily driving.

The Bronco Sport cargo space adapts to your needs, with up to 1,846 litres of space when the second row is folded flat. Whether it’s gear for a weekend adventure or daily errands, the Bronco Sport provides the flexibility you need. The safari-style roof design increases headroom for all passengers and accommodates taller items in the cargo area.

Thoughtful details enhance everyday usability, like the available flip-up rear glass that provides quick access to the cargo area without opening the full liftgate. The rubberized flooring and easy-to-clean surfaces make post-adventure cleanup simple, while available washable rubber floor mats protect against mud and water.

Bronco Sport Cutting-Edge Technology

The advanced technology suite keeps you connected and entertained. The upgraded SYNC® 4A system is more intuitive than ever, providing seamless integration with a 30.5 cm touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility come standard, keeping you connected without the clutter of cables.

Navigation with real-time traffic updates and enhanced voice recognition makes getting to your destination easier and stress-free. The available B&O® sound system with 10 speakers delivers premium audio quality whether you’re on the trail or commuting to work.

Drivers can also enjoy the convenience of over-the-air updates, keeping their Bronco Sport tech features current without a dealership visit. USB ports throughout the cabin and available wireless charging ensure that your devices stay powered on every journey.

Bold and Refined Exterior Design

The Bronco Sport maintains its distinctive design that pays homage to the original Bronco while incorporating modern elements. Its bold grille, sleek LED headlights, and sculpted body lines convey confidence and capability. Whether navigating urban streets or exploring scenic routes, the striking Bronco Sport exterior ensures you make a statement.

The rear design features LED taillights and an updated liftgate for easier cargo access. Functional roof rails are standard and support a variety of accessories and roof-mounted cargo options. The available roof rack supports static loads up to 181 kg, ideal for rooftop tents and other adventure gear.

A range of exterior colours allows for personalization, from subtle tones to vibrant hues that stand out on and off the trail. The distinctive Bronco Sport silhouette, with its upright stance and safari-style roof, creates a unique presence in the compact SUV segment.

Interior Comfort and Versatility

Inside, the Bronco Sport offers a blend of comfort and functionality. The cabin features a mix of high-quality materials with rugged design elements that reflect the vehicle’s outdoor capabilities. Supportive seats, available in water-resistant cloth or leather, keep occupants comfortable during long drives.

The configurable digital instrument cluster provides customizable information displays, allowing drivers to prioritize the information most relevant to their journey. Climate controls remain physical buttons and knobs, making adjustments simple even when wearing gloves or navigating rough terrain.

Storage solutions abound throughout the cabin, including a spacious center console, door pockets, and clever compartments for securing smaller items. The available MOLLE strap system attached to the seatbacks provides additional organization options for adventure gear.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety is always prioritized in the Bronco Sport, with Ford Co-Pilot360™ technology included as standard. This comprehensive suite includes Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane-Keeping System, and Auto High-Beam Headlamps.

The available Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist+ adds Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering, as well as Evasive Steering Assist. These features provide drivers and passengers peace of mind, whether navigating busy highways or remote backroads.

The Bronco Sport structure is engineered with high-strength steel and strategically placed crumple zones to protect occupants in a collision. Multiple airbags throughout the cabin further enhance protection for all passengers.

Trail Intelligence

The Bronco Sport Trail Intelligence features provide valuable information and assistance for off-road adventures. The available topographic trail maps work even in areas without cellular coverage, ensuring you can navigate with confidence in remote areas.

Trail timing allows you to track and share your progress on difficult routes, while the trail recording feature lets you save successful paths for future trips or sharing with fellow adventurers. The compass display with inclinometer helps monitor your vehicle’s orientation on challenging terrain.

For night adventures, the LED light bar integrated into the front of the roof rack illuminates the trail ahead with powerful brightness. Additional off-road lighting options help extend your adventure beyond daylight hours.
