Thinking about getting a Ford Bronco? You’re probably wondering what’s actually different for 2025, and if it’s worth going for this model year. While 2024 didn’t bring much in the way of change, 2025 brings back a couple of fan-favorite options, drops a few trims, and adds a handful of upgrades across the board. Here’s everything you need to know so you can get to know one of the most popular SUVs with modern features.
Key Takeaways
- The 2025 Bronco brings back the Base trim and adds several trim-specific upgrades.
- There's buzz about a future hybrid Bronco, but it hasn’t made its way out of the factory just yet.
- Several trims have left the building in 2025, but new packages and features fill the gap.
What’s New for the 2025 Ford Bronco?
The Base trim is officially back after being dropped in '24, and there’s a new retro-style Free Wheeling appearance package with '70s-inspired stripes if you’re into that throwback vibe.
The Sasquatch off-roading package is still the go-to for serious adventuring; it’s got a lifted suspension, high-clearance fender flares, mud-terrain tires, and Bilstein shocks built to soak up whatever trail you throw at it. Meanwhile, trims like the Wildtrak, Everglades, Heritage Limited Edition, and Black Diamond are no longer in the mix. That said, Black Diamond lives on as a package option for Big Bend.
Other 2025 Bronco updates worth noting:
- A 12.0-inch digital driver display and footwell ambient lighting are now standard
- Outer Banks, Badlands, and Raptor trims get a heated steering wheel
- A 12-speaker B&O sound system is now optional with increased cabin insulation for quieter rides
- The Badlands trim now includes a HOSS 3.0 suspension and Ford’s FITS tether system
- Sasquatch-equipped models get 35-inch Goodyear Territory tires
- Matte Clear Film for paint protection is optional
- A Black Appearance package is now available
- A two-door Stroppe Special Edition joins the party
- Center-console rear air vents add to four-door, 10-speed automatic models
The Bronco hasn’t changed much under the hood. You’ve got two engine options:
- A 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 300 horsepower
- An available 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 that bumps you up to 330 horses
Both engines pair with either a standard 7-speed manual or an optional 10-speed automatic transmission. If you plan to tow, the Bronco handles up to 3,500 pounds.
The 2025 Bronco's Fuel Economy
If you’re watching the gas pump, go with the four-cylinder automatic—it gets an EPA-estimated 20 mpg city and 22 highway. Opt for the V6 and the Sasquatch package (with those big knobby tires), and you’re looking at 17 mpg both city and highway.
The Bronco's Top Tech Features
Every trim now gets a 12.0-inch infotainment screen running Ford’s SYNC system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You can also add built-in navigation and a Bang & Olufsen sound system if you want a little more concert-hall energy on the trail. A Wi-Fi hotspot is also available via subscription.
