The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport is the Bronco’s little brother, being one of the better models if you need a daily driver, but you still want a car you can have fun with from time to time. The Bronco Sport serves that niche perfectly. In this review of the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport specs and interior, we'll be sure to give you the full rundown of what to expect out of the Bronco’s little brother this year.
Key Takeaways
- The Bronco Sport is the smaller of the Ford off-road SUVs, bringing a similar amount of offroad prowess while keeping costs well under control.
- The 2025 Bronco Sport boasts improved engines across the line, with fuel efficiency being a key consideration in implementing these new changes.
- The Bronco Sport also benefits from a cozy interior this year.
Is the Bronco changing in 2025?
For 2025, the Ford Bronco Sport receives updated engines as it transitions from the Dragon series to Modular Power Cylinder (MPC) specifications for both its standard 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder and optional 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines. This upgrade introduces a combination of port- and direct-injection fuel systems, a technology adapted from Ford’s larger 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine.
As a result, fuel efficiency has improved: the 1.5-liter now achieves 25 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined—each figure reflecting a 1-mpg increase in highway and combined ratings. The 2.0-liter also gains 1 mpg on the highway, bringing its EPA-estimated fuel economy to 21 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined.
Does the 2025 Bronco Sport have wireless CarPlay?
The Bronco Sport enjoys an impressive interior array for 2025 including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It boasts plenty of forward thinking features on the table this year. This year’s Bronco Sport showcases a stylish cabin filled with popular features and clever storage solutions.
Despite having a shorter wheelbase than the Escape, it offers an upright seating position, ample rear-seat legroom, and a raised rear roofline that boosts headroom and provides enough cargo space to accommodate two mountain bikes. The cargo area can be equipped with a slide-out table that doubles as a workspace, a 400-watt power inverter, and LED lights in the rear gate for overhead illumination. The gate itself includes a glass hatch and a built-in bottle opener.
Badlands models add easy-to-clean rubberized flooring and upholstery, though the floor material isn't the most visually appealing.
Additional storage is cleverly hidden under the rear seats. Every Bronco Sport comes with a 13.2-inch touchscreen running Ford's Sync 4 system, paired with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Sync 4 not only includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, it also offers built-in navigation and SiriusXM radio. A six-speaker audio system is standard, while Outer Banks and Badlands trims offer an optional 10-speaker B&O sound system for enhanced audio quality.
Summary
The Bronco Sport is the best of both worlds: A solid offroad model that knows how to have a good time while still taking you comfortably around town. If you were to take your new Bronco Sport for a grocery run, it can handle this with just as much ease as it handles sandy terrains and muddy marshes.
