Back with more muscle but with the same wild spirit, the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport is no longer content at just playing little brother to the big Bronco. It boasts a fresher look, smarter interior tech, and a new Badlands Sasquatch package which is entirely off-road-focused , the 2025 Bronco Sport is evolving into something bolder, tougher, and more capable than ever.
Tougher Looks
Ford didn’t mess with the Bronco Sport’s boxy, go-anywhere silhouette, but it clearly leaned more into the off-road attitude. The new modular steel front bumper looks rugged and functional. Optional brush guards, LED lighting, and a bold new Velocity Blue paint help it stand out, whether it’s parked downtown or crawling up a fire road.
Wider fender flares and chunky 29-inch Goodyear Territory all-terrains signal that the new Sasquatch package isn’t just cosmetic , it’s built for adventure. With 8.7 inches of ground clearance, Bilstein shocks, and underbody skid plates, this is a Bronco Sport that’s ready to explore way beyond the pavement.
Two Turbo Engines, All-Wheel Drive Standard
Under the hood, nothing revolutionary , but that’s not a bad thing. Two turbocharged EcoBoost engines carry over:
• A 1.5-liter three-cylinder (180 hp) for efficiency-minded drivers
• A more potent 2.0-liter four-cylinder (up to 250 hp and 280 lb-ft) for those chasing torque and trail prowess
Both pair with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is now standard across every trim. Towing capacity ranges from 2,200 to 2,700 pounds, depending on configuration.
Tech Gets a Serious Upgrade
Here’s where the Bronco Sport truly feels new: inside. Ford has reimagined the cabin with more screens and less clutter. Every model now comes with:
• A crisp 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster
• A new 13.2-inch center touchscreen running Ford’s SYNC 4 system
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• New 360-degree cameras with off-road view options
The infotainment system is fast and intuitive , seems to be finally catching up to rivals in the segment. Climate controls now live on-screen, and while that might not please every traditionalist, the layout is clean and modern.
Still Small, Still Smart Inside
The Bronco Sport remains compact, and that comes with trade-offs. Rear legroom is a bit tight, but headroom is fantastic, thanks to the tall roofline. And as always, Ford has packed the cargo area with clever features:
• A flip-out shelf divider
• Tie-down loops and zipper pockets behind rear seats
• A hidden full-size spare
• An available 120V plug in the trunk
It’s utilitarian without being barebones. Think REI meets Apple Store.
Road Manners That Surpass Expectations
Despite the rugged new upgrades, the Bronco Sport drives more like a refined crossover than a bouncy trail rig. On-road comfort is solid , even with the Sasquatch package’s all-terrain tires , and the ride feels planted. Steering is responsive, the suspension soaks up rough pavement, and wind noise is well-controlled for something shaped like a brick.
But go off-road, and this thing comes alive.
Thanks to the twin-clutch AWD system, selectable GOAT modes (Go Over Any Terrain), and rear diff lock, the Badlands trim with Sasquatch can handle rocks, sand, mud, and steep grades with real confidence. There’s even a new “Rally” mode for loose gravel and high-speed fun.
Pricing and Trim Rundown
Ford has streamlined the lineup a bit, but variety is still the name of the game:
• Base: Starts around $29,995
• Outer Banks: Adds comfort and style for ~$35K
• Heritage Edition: Retro touches, modern tech
• Badlands + Sasquatch: Fully loaded off-road hero, around $46,785
It’s not the cheapest compact SUV out there, but it offers real hardware and features most rivals can’t touch.
Our Thoughts: Ready for More Than a Dirt Road
The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport finally feels like it has grown into its name. It’s still compact and approachable, but now it packs the kind of off-road hardware and high-tech cabin that make it more than just a cool-looking commuter.
