With a nostalgic, boxy shape and an affinity for all types of terrain, the Bronco Sport is the compact SUV offshoot of the sixth generation Ford Bronco that was released in 2021. 
 

Trim Levels

All of the 2022 Ford Bronco models feature a 4×4 drive and HOSS suspension, so they’re all designed to take you off the beaten track. However, the different exterior and interior styling, safety features, and driving technologies mean that you can select one that best fits your personal brand of practicality and adventure.
 
Starting with the capable Base, the trim levels range through the Big Bend and the Outer Banks, with the rugged Badlands quickly becoming the standout off-road trim.
 

Powertrains

There are two turbocharged engines available for the Bronco Sport, both of which are coupled with 8-speed automatic transmission. The 1.5l Ecoboost 3-cylinder offers 181hp at 6,000rpm and 190 pound-feet of torque, while the 2.0l Ecoboost 4-cylinder gives 245hp and 275 pound-feet respectively.

Cargo Space

Along with the ability to tow 2,000-2,200 pounds, the Bronco Sport has a payload of 1,000 pounds, 32.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, and a safari-style roof rack that can carry two bikes. The tall shape and extra headroom mean that it can easily fit you and four tall passengers, and it’s versatile enough to carry bulky or awkward loads.

Hidden storage compartments, a fold-out workbench, and MOLLE straps are also available, meaning that you can make sure that you’re equipped for any expedition.

Off-Road Handling

All of the Ford Bronco Sport models have HOSS suspension and all-wheel drives for tackling rough tracks. A range of five to seven GOAT (Goes Over All Terrain) modes add to its adaptability and allow you to adjust to accommodate different landscapes, including slippery and sand. 


The Badlands trim comes with the stronger powertrain and upgraded cooling components, as well as a twin-clutch rear-drive unit with a differential lock. Metal bash plates, all-terrain tires, and an additional inch of suspension lift all reinforce its status as king of the off-road.

New for 2022

2022 saw few upgrades for the Ford Bronco Sport, although the packages were rebranded to make the moonroof a standalone addition. Buyers have also been given three new colors to choose from: Bronze Smoke, Velocity Blue, and Hot Pepper Red.
