The overview
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.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
