Weekend adventurers who still need a car for regular city driving can get excited about the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport. Boasting a compact build and all-wheel drive, it’s easy to maneuver yet undeniably rugged. Plus, its retro aesthetic is a nod to its fun and rebellious nature. It’s built on the same platform as the Ford Escape, so drivers comfortable with that SUV from the same manufacturer should feel at home in the 2023 Bronco Sport. However, this is a distinctly different vehicle from the suburban-ready Escape. It’s essentially a thrill-seeker’s vehicle disguised as a family vehicle.
The 2023 Ford Bronco boasts a lineup of trims in which each model is more exciting than the last, with thoughtful and off-road-ready features found throughout it. This SUV is unapologetically tough, agile, and ready for any challenge on and off the pavement. If you want to explore boulder-littered paths or traverse through streams, this SUV can help you make that a reality. Ford clearly put a lot of thought and time into making this SUV ready to meet the demands of devout off-roaders, and we know you’ll like what it has to offer. Here’s a deeper look at what makes the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport so special.
Starting at
Off the bat, the 2023 Ford Bronco makes a strong impression with available 4X4 capability on all models. So you can experience increased control, even when the ground beneath you feels out of control. What’s more is that the Badlands and Heritage Limited models enjoy advanced 4X4, which will deliver power to all four wheels for improved traction on particularly tricky surfaces.
This Ford Bronco can water ford, too. When equipped with the available A/T off-road tires, it can get you over some less-than-modest streams, so you don’t have to let a little unexpected water take you off course. A high-performance off-road stability suspension system will give you heavy-duty off-road-tuned dampers and is ready to help you maintain control at high speeds, even on sand and rocks.
Badlands and Heritage Limited models get the terrain management system with its seven G.O.A.T (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) modes. These include sand, slippery, sport, eco, normal, rock crawl, and mud/rut modes. When you are in either of the latter modes, the 180-degree camera with a split view gives you a sense of the obstacles up ahead.
When a sudden abrupt change in terrain leaves your wheels almost spinning, you’ll be grateful for the twin-clutch rear-drive unit. This can send torque to one rear wheel, even if others have no traction. Unexpected hills are no object, thanks to the 30.4-degree approach angle, a 20.4-degree breakover angle, and a 33.1-degree departure angle. You’re practically one with the terrain in this SUV.
You’ll find two engine options so that you can opt for either impressive power or better fuel economy. These options come down to the 1.5L EcoBoost, which comes standard on the Base, Big Bend, Heritage, and Outer Banks models, and the 2.0L EcoBoost, which comes standard on the Badlands and Heritage models.
The 2023 Ford Bronco Sport might be built for the great outdoors, but it has technology that’s modern enough for the great indoors. This includes things like the aforementioned split-view 180-degree camera, as well as the Ford SYNC 3 infotainment system. This system has voice recognition and even voice-activated navigation, so you can simply call out your destination (including remote trailheads) and instantly get audible turn-by-turn directions. Or, you can use your voice to ask about things like weather and traffic updates.
You’ll see your directions appear on the 8-inch LCD touchscreen, as well as any other smartphone apps you might be using via its connectivity features. Keeping your devices charged is important for adventurers so you can find the trailhead or look up the best place to grab a coffee on the way. The available wireless charging pad takes care of that, no matter where you are. If you want to bump some tunes to get you in the right headspace before an ambitious hike, you’ll want the B&O sound system by Band & Olufsen, available on higher-end trims like the Heritage Limited, for crisp and clear audio for all passengers, front and back.
The 2023 Ford Bronco Sport also offers an impressive array of driver-assist features via Ford's Co-Pilot360 technology. These are critical in any car, particularly for drivers who go off the beaten path. These features include BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert, a lane-keeping system, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, and auto high-beam headlamps. Together these features work to warn you of impending collisions and give you the confidence you need on the road.
More advanced driver assist features are available, which include tools like adaptive cruise control, which lets you set the desired distance you’d like to keep between you and the other cars, and adjusts your speed accordingly. It also includes evasive steering assist, which uses a camera and radar to help you avoid collisions. If you’re an off-roader who isn’t quite sure what lies ahead, these features will come in handy.
No matter where you're going in the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport, the ride is guaranteed to be memorable. The vehicle is packed with a wealth of cargo space, which is complemented even further with next-level comfort features for a truly exceptional ride. Whether it's a drive to the grocery store or an epic road trip, your time in the Bronco Sport will be unlike anything you've experienced.
Storing all those adventure essentials is easy, thanks to the under-seat storage in the Badlands and Heritage Limited models. Just lift up the second-row passenger seat and find a spacious, discreet spot for valuables. Throughout each model, you’ll find tons of conveniently hidden storage compartments. Plus, you get an overall 65.2 cu.ft. of cargo volume standard on the Base, Big Bend, Heritage, and Outer Banks models. The Big Bend model even has a MOLLE strap system and available zipper compartments for military-grade storage.
Tall passengers will feel comfortable thanks to the extra headroom provided by the safari-style roof, and riders will also enjoy the comfortable contoured bucket seats. And if any of those passengers make a mess, the removable, rubberized floor mats on most models are easy to remove and rinse. You’ll get 60/40 split-fold-flat back seats on all models, letting you choose when you’d rather make more room for people or stuff. Plus, when equipped with the optional interior bike rack, you can store vertical bicycles and be ready to take the ground by storm on two wheels when you get to your destination.
As you move up the trim line, seating material improves. You’ll get cloth seats on the base trim, but the Outer Banks gets heated leather-trimmed front bucket seats, the Heritage model gets plaid seats with blue and red stitching, and the Heritage Limited gets stunning leather-trimmed seats. If you want to enjoy style and luxury before you get muddy on your next adventure, you certainly can with some of the upper trims. Finally, the available cargo management system includes a camp table that provides the ideal space to review maps, prepare sandwiches or get your equipment in order for your next big climb.
