Priced from $31,590 to $41,590, the Bronco Sport offers diverse configurations. The Badlands trim, with its 245-hp turbo four and enhanced all-wheel-drive system, is the most capable off-road option.
Engine and Transmission
The Bronco Sport boasts two engine options: a 181-hp turbocharged three-cylinder and a 238-hp turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder. Both pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The Badlands trim adds exclusive equipment, including a twin-clutch rear-drive unit with a differential lock.
Dimensions and Interior
The Bronco Sport’s interior is practical and attractive, with an upright seating position and decent rear-seat legroom.

Performance and Fuel Economy
The Bronco Sport’s performance is impressive, with the turbocharged four-cylinder propelling the Badlands model to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds. Off-road capabilities exceed expectations, thanks to the Sasquatch package’s enhanced suspension, skid plates, and all-terrain tires. EPA estimates range from 21-25 mpg city and 26-29 mpg highway, depending on the engine. Real-world testing yielded 33 mpg highway with the three-cylinder model.
