The Ford Bronco Sport is the Bronco’s more compact sibling that more than holds its own when it comes to tearing up the trails as it hauls all of the gear you need for your adventure. That’s thanks to its turbocharged engines and plethora of storage options. It also comes with plenty of advanced technology to boot. This is your quick introduction to the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport!
Powertrain
A 181-horsepower turbocharged 1.5L EcoBoost inline-3 serves as the base engine, providing enough grunt to get the Bronco Sport out of ruts with its 190 lb-ft of torque. Badlands and Heritage Limited models make excellent use of their standard 2.0L version of the EcoBoost turbo engine, which develops 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. In addition to increased acceleration, this allows for a maximum towing capacity of 2,200 pounds.
Whichever motor you choose, you’ll get to enjoy quick, seamless shifting from Ford’s 8-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.
Off-Road Capability
It wouldn’t be a true Bronco if it wasn’t at home in rough environments! All Bronco Sports are equipped with an intelligent 4×4 system that uses several GOAT (Goes Over Any Terrain) modes. These modes offer different power delivery and handling settings for better traction when operating the vehicle over sand, mud, or ice. Fully independent suspension with a high degree of articulation makes it much easier to crawl through rocky trails.
Meant for serious off-roaders, the Badlands and Heritage Limited come standard with an even more advanced 4×4 system, featuring a twin-clutch rear drive unit and allowing for 100% of the torque to be transferred to either rear wheel. Ground clearance is also increased to an impressive 8.8 inches with these models.
Passenger Cabin
Just like its rugged exterior, the Bronco Sport’s interior has been designed and built to endure countless excursions into the great outdoors. You’ll see that in the durable materials found throughout the cabin, such as with the available top-quality leather seats, a rubberized cargo floor mat, and tough polymer surfaces. Besides being resistant to the elements, the cabin offers amenities like wireless charging, ambient lighting, and a power moonroof.
If you’re needing to bring along a good amount of equipment and cargo, the Bronco Sport has a ton of storage solutions available. These include a cargo space of up to 65.2 cubic feet, rear underseat storage, and a MOLLE straps system found behind the front seats.
Infotainment
An 8-inch capacitive touchscreen system with SYNC 3 infotainment and voice recognition can be found mounted to the dash of every Bronco Sport. The system supports Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration, FordPass Connect mobile Wi-Fi, and 911 Assist, a feature that helps contact emergency services in the event of an accident. Home theater-quality sound comes from the available 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen system.
Unlike many other crossover vehicles, the Ford Bronco Sport actually backs up its looks with true off-roading performance and practicality that’s perfectly suited for active lifestyles. Visit Coughlin Ford today and see it for yourself!
